psst ... go red sox!

I married into the red sox nation, so I've been cheering for them for about 10 years. But I ~do~ live in Colorado, so I'm happy the Rockies made it in. I'm absolutely flabberghasted they made it in, but yet still happy about it.

This will be the best world series yet. I do want to see the sox win, but I won't be upset to watch the colorado celebration if it goes the opposite way.

Finally. I'm in a win-win situation. sweet.

Or, on the otherhand -- a good piece of information to have...

the mention of Bill Buckner makes every Sox fan very, very sad.

Of course now that they actually won the World Series -- maybe it's better...my first love was a Red Sox fan -- and we lived in Colorado.
