Fever pitch

To say that my family takes sports-primarily our Yankees and Jets-seriously, is an understatement. We have our own little superstitions for each. Things to wear, things to do, things to have in the room when we're watching said games. But I was just amused today, as our centerpiece for Rosh Hashanah dinner was a little pumpkin painted blue and white with the Yankees logo, and wearing a Yankees cap...and my parents, my brother and I all wore Yankee shirts to dinner. Of course, my aunt, uncle and cousins are Mets fans...so I'm sure that had something to do with it ;-) (You're talking to the girl who wore a Yankee cap to the Run to Home Plate 5K to "make a point"...lol! The things I do for a club points race!!) Anyway, very happy to see that the BoSox got demolished, and as I write this, the Yanks are up 4-1 in the 8th. Yeah!!

Do not count the Red Sox out. They gonna cap some punk ass before the night is done.


Cool blog btw ... found it from your comment on Chelle's.

nope-haven't counted them out just yet. i think the '04 postseason taught us all a lesson. not to get too cocky. though i would love to not hear "who's your daddy" this postseason...that's *so* '04 :-D

thanks for stopping by, and for the props on my blog!! :)

Thanks for the photo from Sunday, though I think I was less than the happy camper at that point in the race. I was happy with how I did, but it was by no means easy.

I love your blog...I'm definitely adding you to me regular reads!

You do realize the title implies your secret routing for the Sox;) Go Sox;)

chelle-thanks! i like your blog too-always nice to see another take on the local racing and living scene :)

uptown girl-nah, i don't think so. no secret rooting here!! just took the title from the movie-one that i actually wanted to see (regardless of what team was being featured) but never got to!!

actually-I want chicago to beat the red sox in 3 or 4 for other motives-for the sake of my teammates and friends running chicago on sunday!! apparently if a game 5 is forced and it's a day game they might re-route the last 2 miles of the marathon?? there hasn't been a good track record as of late with last-minute course changes...
