Susan's Musings

Well the Sox will be staying in Ft. Myers for the foreseeable new future and will be getting a new stadium to be built in Lee County for the 2012 season - a new Fenwayesque park complete with a Green Monster - not as good as being at Fenway but this New England girl is looking forward to the prospect.

Red Sox Nation - the Fenway Faithful have seen this before - never count the Boys of Boston out - they live for October baseball. Finally some of the bats have been swinging - not the huge slammers, but thats OK - hit - get the guy on base and get some runs in. Beckett and the bullpen toughed it out after a shaky start - bless them for shutting down the Rays at the Trop. Papelbon - man this guy is a star - you just know if Boston is ahead and you can get the ball to him - lights out.

So looking forward to tonights game - hope that Franconia and the boys can send it back to Fenway for home field advantage against the Phillies.

Sad day for this die hard Bo Sox fan - but all hope is not lost - hopefully my boys in Boston can freeze out the Rays tomorrow night and stay alive in their quest for another World Series title. The pitching has been dismal - the offense lackluster, come on boys - show the world why you are the reigning champions - how about another fabulous 'blue moon' moment. Pleeaasee.
