..but almost?

Papelbon giving up a grand slam is not what I want to see at this point in the season. Nor is a sweep by Toronto.

Looking in tomorrow’s papers for Red Sox fans jumping off bridges for practice.

Despite the “VideoGate” incident, and all the trash talk of certain members of the San Diego Chargers, the Pats totally dominated tonight.

It was a perfect night to be at Gillette – gorgeous weather, the team firing on all cylinders, and the crowd was wild.

Too bad the Sox lost, though – was watching the game via Slingbox and giving updates in the stands..

[Disclaimer: I grew up a Mets fan in a family of Yankee fans. Adopted the Red Sox after I moved to the Boston area in 1989 – hey, the Mets had won a Series, might as well pull for the other guys. This has caused all sorts of grief from the aforementioned Yankee fans.]

Not one of the call-ups, but Dice-K. Someone must have the stat counting how many games he’s had a one-inning meltdown. Tonight’s was impressive, if you were a Baltimore or Yankee fan.

Meanwhile, A-Rod had another two-homer game.

Baseball in September. Gotta love it.

[and I was a Parcells fan, so started following the Patriots when he joined up in ’93. Stuck with the Pats since… not a bad choice!]
