One Year Ago Today

My, how time flies. Seems like just yesterday.

Maybe the tidal wave of rain in the greater Philadelphia area was our chance to hold on to the World Championship for just one more day.

I know I should be overwhelmed with sadness looking at that photo, grieving for the 2008 title that did not arrive... but I just can't do it. I'm giddy as hell with happiness at the two championships in four years (!) and even more giddy at the prospect of what's to come.

Damn, it's an exciting time to be a Red Sox fan.

I'm with you. Our boys did well this year.... I'm already looking forward to next year.

And I believe yesterday was the 4th anniversary of the win in 04. Amazing. The world is different now - and I like it.

Is it just me or is it going to be a looong winter waiting around for Spring Training to start???
Great to look back on the 07 win and look forward to 09.

*LOVE* that photo. It would look great on my wall.

That seemed like it was years ago. It's sad it left so quick.

Our team has endured so much in just one year.

To me, just getting makes us still a champion.

Two of those photos (different perspective) DO look rather nice on my office wall. :)

I remember going in to work the next morning and thinking, they could fire me today and I'd still be happy. And I promise you, I meant it.

I'm still a little sad over this season's abrupt end - I think I'll be in a kind of limbo until the current series is through. And tonight I'm trying to vicariously enjoy me some Cetics celebration via my friends who bleed green. (Betcha some Sox are at the Garden tonight.)

I didn't realize tonight was when the Celtics got their rings, that explains Youkilis being there. Nice the Phillies were postponed so I could watch the Celtics game. I love my Sox so that's why I can't root for the Rays. Phillies all the way.

I have to start going to more sports events.

Damn straight.

Not a Celtics fan (I do cheer for my hometown Kings, as much as I follow basketball), but congrats!
