In case you are wondering why I've been slacking on my responsibilities as a blogger I've been super busy at work. The last two weeks involved getting ready for the re-opening of our Drifters (jellyfish) exhibit. And because our jellies team rox it all opened Saturday on time and is a HUGE success.
I've also been preoccupied with the Bruins!!! I honestly never in my life thought I'd see the Bruins in the Stanley Cup Finals. Yes, they were in the ultimate championship game back in 1990 but I couldn't tell you anything about my life as a 9 year old outside of being on Mr. Wright's baseball team and even that isn't a clear memory. All of my recent memories of the Bruins are of utter disappointment, a true Boston sports franchise. I remember watching them back in 2004 when they managed to lose three consecutive games in the first round to be eliminated by their rivals from Montreal. It only got worse after that...the Canadiens taking them again in 2008, the painful loss to Carolina in 2009 and who can forget last years despicable 3-0 lead blown to Philly??? This is what the Bruins do...or I guess did. Somehow this year they managed to squeeze passed Montreal, destroy Philly and tough it out in one of the best playoff series I've ever seen against Tampa. And don't worry Charlie, I've got my jersey ready and waiting for you when I come visit in February! So my hat is off to Claude and co. and I wish them nothing but the best of luck as they go on to play Vancouver in the 2011 Stanley Cup Finals!!!
On to baseball...I've now been to five games this year in four different stadiums and I'm heading to my sixth tomorrow to watch the A's hopefully embarrass the Yankees. But how bout them Sox huh??? Is anyone even thinking about the 2-10 start they had back in April? I think not! The bats are on fire and the pitching is finally where it should be, without Lackey or Dice-K. I don't get to watch too many games out here but I listen to as many as I can online and listening to Joe Castiglione is always just as exciting. I know it's still early and there are a lot of things that need to be worked out, but the Red Sox are looking good right now and I'd be worried if I was anyone else!
Go Sox! Yankees Suck! Go Bruins! I LOVE (and miss) THAT DIRTY WATER!!!
