An awesome time to be a Boston Sports Fan!!

Hope you all are aware of the incredible time we have going on right now in the city of Boston and our sports teams. The level of success that we are seeing now are the likes that we have never seen.

Red Sox- Won the AL East and AL Pennant coming back from 3-1 for the third time in a row, when it comes to times that the Red Sox have made the World Series. With making the World Series for the 2nd time in 4 years, we have a win a chance to win a second title in that short time span, not bad for a team that went 86 years without winning one before 2004.

Patriots- Now 7-0 and looking absolutely unbeatable. Tom Brady is putting up incredible statistics the likes that the NFL has never seen, 27td and 2 INT! With Randy Moss, Wes Welker, and the others we have an offense that clearly rivals the best of all time. Oh and by the way our defense isnt too bad either and having Bill Belichick as our coach doesnt hurt. I do understand that it is still early in the season but if we can keep this up it seems very likely that the Patriots can win their 4th title in 7 years which is just amazing.

Boston College Eagles- Right now the BC football team is at a level of attention that they have never seen. Ranked currently at #2 in both polls and the BCS ranking, which right now would put them in the National Championship Game against Ohio State. The 7-0 Eagles have been taking care of business so far this season led by current Heisman front runner Matt Ryan. Now I do know that we have an incredible challenge Thursday Night in Blacksburg against Virginia Tech, but we have a real chance to have a special season on the Heights, so I hope the boys are ready to live up to the hype.

Boston Celtics- Have decided to rejoin the NBA this season after basically a 15 year layoff, ever since the original Big 3 retired the Celtics have become mostly an after thought in this city, I know we had a few moments of promise in the early part of the decade when we had Pierce and Walker, but overall teams been pretty Mediocre. Now fast forward to this season we get Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen two proven All Star caliber scores and leaders that with along with Paul Pierce you have a trio of great players that have the potential to make for a great year along Causeway Street this year. Obviously the season hasnt started yet and you never know how this will work out, but the chance to contend for the NBA title is certainly possible.

Boston Bruins- Even the other tennant of the Garden is off to a decent start, lost in the shuffle of all the excitement about these other teams is that the B's got off to a really good start on the road, and continued that so far at home with winning the first two games there. Right now they have a record of 5-2. It is indeed very early but if they can keep this play up they have a chance to really start to get some attention in this incredible sports city that we have.

Well thats all for now, but hope you get to enjoy this great time we are going through right now, but it probably wont last cause sports are so predictable. If you have any comments or anything else to add feel free to do so.

Bring back the Boston Lobsters and Boston Braves (hockey, not baseball).

I hope there's no need for a game 7 in the series. If so it's scheduled on Halloween. Could I be held criminally responsible for my actions if a child rings my doorbell trick or treating after the game starts.

Actually, Game 6 is scheduled for Halloween night. But that begs the question: What's the likelihood of kids trick-or-treating at 8:45pm?

what? no grammar and composition/punctuation corrections?

Wooden U. Lykteneau said...

Nah, and I elected not to mention that your name might be on some list to further reduce the chances of trick-or-cheaters coming by... oh, no, guess I didn't.
