Opening Series

The one thing I never had the pleasure of as a child was my parents telling me stories about baseball. In fact, the only reason I am a sports fan is because of my odd liking of commercials when I was 4 years old. Well throughout my years as a Red Sox fan, I have witnessed many things, good, bad, and well, weird. From getting hit by a ball thrown by Millar during BP, to Crying when the Sox won the world series, and even being stuck in the middle of a rousing game called Marco Scutaro, I will have plenty of stories to share with my children when I decide to have them. Add one more to the list. Opening Series in Japan, kinda bummed out it was during the morning because well if anyone has been to Wareham, I mean way out in the boonies, you know that it's the black hole of radio reception. So try as I might, I couldn't get 103.7 WEEI to play, but I did get 95.1 to come in after moving the radio to the Drive-thru hahahaha!! So anyways, it was a good time, working, listening to baseball and being there for another first. Mossy's first major league homerun!! I remember cleaning the drive-thru station when he hit it and smacked my hand into the caddy that holds the iced coffee containers. It hurt like a you know what but I was experiencing too much excitement at the time to care. So yes, Red Sox players, we get hurt in celebrating your accomplishments, just hope that next time it isn't worse.

So now they are on a west coast trip, which honestly are horrible!! They kill me because of the 10pm start time which is not convenient *woohoo I spelled that word right!!* for the Dunkin Donuts girls who have to be up at 4am for work!! However, I can't complain because they have April 28th off which is excellent because that is when the new episode of House airs. So I get the Red Sox and on their off days, I get House. Works out perfect. Here's to hoping the season goes just as well.....

Peace, Love and many more Brandon Moss Homeruns to come,
Erica :)

Opening Day is fast approaching, also check out Sawxworld.com

First I must apologize. I have been seriously slacking on the sports blog, but for good reason. Midterms and a butt-load of school work have side-lined me, not only in the blogging department but in the gym department as well. Anyways, now that the work has died down a little and Spring Break is in a couple of days, I can write about my favorite thing in the world, baseball, or more specifically, Red Sox baseball!!!

Despite the "injuries" the Sox have had, I am not worried. It's the beginning of the season and I am more than happy to let Josh miss opening day than for him to fly to Japan, pitch 3 innings and than go on the 15 day DL. I think the Sox are being extra cautious because they are hell bent on repeating, and I am all for that.

Speaking of Josh, he is on April's issue of Men's Fitness. I must say though, he looks "different" on the cover, but is it just me or do other people find it humorous, or ironic, that the very top of the magazine says "The best sex you will ever have"? Yeah, I thought so.

OK, now that I am finished with my fangirlish rant I want to talk about something special to me. In August I met some special people via a Red Sox chatroom, City of Champions. It's an awesome place to chat baseball and football....don't know bout hockey or basketball because quite frankly, I don't care about either. Anyways, it is through that chatroom that I met some wicked awesome people like Barb, City, Stefan, Wayne, Allyson, Maccie and Martin. Well as awesome as they all are, I think I spent most time talking baseball with Martin, and aside from helping him try and find a way to become a US citizen, we also share a love of baseball. Well one night he made a website and I asked if I could help him work on it, to which of course he said "Yes!!" Anyways the name of the site is Sawxworld, and its going to, in time, be wicked pissah!! I hope everyone checks it out, and I will let everyone know when it gets updated. Sign-up and help make it grow :)

OK, I am out, I have a couple more assignments to do before spring break is here!!

Peace, Love and Sawxworld,
Erica :)
