NY Boston Fan

A note about why I, a 26 year old Boston sports fan who lives in NYC with his Yankee fan fiancee, started this blog. Stop by any time, leave your thoughts, and ideas for new posts...

Sox fans are funny about superstitions.

• My friend Ryan switched hats from his Sox hat to his BU hat, after game 3 of the ALCS. He even left work in the middle of the day to go get his BU hat when he found out he had scored a ticket to game 7.
• My friend Dave patented the "two-out cheese danish" to help the Sox score runs in game 3
• My mom actually would not watch any of the games, but rather sat in the next room and had my dad yell whatever happened out to her. She knew if she watched, bad things would happen.
• I sat in the same seat for every game after ALCS game 3, wore the same clothes in almost all of those games (was feeling cocky for game 2), kept the remote in the same place on the couch, pointing the same direction, and ate Cherry Garcia ice cream whenever the Sox needed a rally.
• Lastly, I didn't tell anyone that I had started blog that will relate to the Sox, NY (focusing on the Yankees I'm sure), and anything else that I feel like writing about. I'll try to avoid politics as much as possible, so it will be mostly sports. Since I started this blog, and within hours the Sox sent the series back to NY, and then they continued to win, I continued to keep it quiet.

Well now it's over, so the superstitions are out in the open. Hopefully this blog won't be too self-serving, even though it started for self-serving reasons (a way to deal with my stress over game 5), and I hope if you stop by occasionally in the future, you'll find something enjoyable to read.

If not, well at least if you're a Sox fan, you can scroll through the first 10 days or so of posts, and relive some good times. And if you're not a Sox fan, I'm sure you hate Fox Sports, so at least we have that in common.
