Me, again,

Ok, so I'm beginning to get a bit supersticious here; I've posted 
after every game the Red Sox have won in the playoffs and they keep 
on winning (and truthfully, I am really only a fair-weather fan).
So here I go again.

But I did want to make a commentary though.  Apparently, I was 
channeling Trelawny when I spoke about the "crazy fans" in my 
previous post.  The fans actually did go crazy Monday nite outside 
Fenway Park, overturning cars and causing major mahem. I believe 
seven people got arrested.  They have now put in a major parking ban 
in the area on all game nites, including those games that are NOT in 
Boston. And I believe (if I heard the news correctly) that even the 
residents in the area can't park on the street.  No Parking!? In a 
major City!  With FIVE teaching hospitals and colleges within walking 
distance!!? What are the police thinking?   
And why do people do this?  I know that it is a major college party 
area (there's no less than half a dozen colleges in the immediate 
area)and *perhaps* the colleged-age fans got a bit carried away,  but 
why ruin it for everyone else? How can overturning a car make you 
feel good?  I suppose we should be grateful that there were no major 
injuries (IIRC), unlike some Europeon soccer games.  And I suppose 
the police had to do something.  I don't know.  Maybe I'm just 
getting old . . .

OyVey! I think I'm done ranting now.

Oh, and "Cowboy Up" apparently comes from a song about falling off an 
horse and getting back up, you know, the cliche.

Anna . . . (who will celebrate her 25 high school reunion this year, 
and wonders if they will play "Stairway to Heaven" as the last dance)
