A Note From a Sox Fan

[linlou43]

   Congratulations Yankee fans. I really believed that this was 
going to be our year, but it was not to be. The disappointment in 
Red Sox nation is palpable. The blame game is being played at water 
coolers, on the airwaves, in the newspapers and anywhere else you 
can possibly think of. Enough is enough. There is no curse. (If 
there was I'm sure the group from the Salem Witches Institute that 
attended the Quidditch World Cup would have done something about it 
by now.) After getting by my initial frustration and disappointment 
this morning ( and Boone's home run was this morning eastern time, 
not last night) I have come to some conclusions. Sox fans had the 
pleasure and priviledge this season of watching their team play the 
game with all their hearts. The camaraderie shown on the field and 
in the dugout was heartwarming. 

   I'm not denying the occasional arrogance of certain members of 
the team,but to have felt that I was a part of the battle of this 
extraordinary group was wonderful. 

    So, here's to the Red Sox and Red Sox Nation. Here's to Variteck 
and Damon. Here's to Millar, Mueller, Nomar and Walker. Here's to 
Nixon, Wakefield, Williamson, Lowe and all the rest. There is no 
shame in being one of the top four teams in the country. 

    As the saying goes....Just wait 'till next year.
