The Red Sox? Bah. An American League team, and who cares? Blah, blah. Designated hitter. Blah, blah. Red Sox nation. I'm a Cardinals fan, infected by an old boyfriend in graduate school at Southern Illinois University.
The Bruins? Ptooie. Hockey is a meaningless fight on ice.
The Patriots? Double bah! I've loathed them since the Victor Kiam days when the old guard couldn't figure out that there were real, live sports reporters who also happened to be women...and who should be treated with some respect. I'm a Cleveland Browns fan...a sad and lonely (and did I mention cold?) thing to be.
Nope. My Boston team is and always has been the Celtics, and now the boys in green are back at it...leading the division, the conference, and the entire NBA. Yippee skippee! This is the best team standing in decades, and I'm basking in it. :-)
I need to get a little leprechaun to keep at my desk.
To say it's a great time to be a Boston sports fan is an understatement of historic proportions. Since the Red Sox lost Game 4 of the ALCS on Oct. 16, the Sox, Patriots, and Celtics (sorry Bruins) have combined for an otherworldly 45-3 record.I've lived in Boston for more than 23 years, but the one Boston sporting team I adore has had a tough road of it for quite a while. Now, they're kicking butt and taking names.
