The More Things Stay The Same


Well, it’s been a couple weeks since last we spoke. Where were we? Oh shoot, I’ll have to check the last newsletter; give me a sec…hmm, Sox in first place just completing a sweep of the formerly first place team (check), David Ortiz home run (check), Tim Wakefield rules (checkamundo).

Looks like nothing has changed. The Sox are up to their old tricks at Fenway, beating up on the lowly Yankees. When are these bullies going to give them a break? It just doesn’t seem sporting. Game 8 of this best of 19 series is tonight with the Sox up 7 to nil. No team has ever come back from a 7 game deficit in a best of 19 series to win. The only one comparable was…you know. See you tonight.

Governor’s Conference

There will be an unprecedented gathering of the Governors of Red Sox Nation next week for a pre-game ceremony at Fenway Park. In all, as many as forty of the high officers will attend. Never before have so many Governor’s of RSN assembled in one place. (Btw, the previous record was two when the New York Governor and the New Jersey Governor happened to be on the George Washington Bridge at the same time-going in different directions.) Should you find yourself in The Cradle of Liberty next week please let me know and I’ll tell you about some of the events you can enjoy.

Congrats to Thom’s irregular potty mouth Paul “Fitzy” Fitzgerald for his new show on NESN.


Red Sox Nation Officers


Next week I while name on this page the newest officers of Red Sox Nation-New York. There is still time to join the ranks of the immortals. Just email me what post you think would suit you best and why. Please be sure not to repeat any already taken: List of Officers.
