It's an hour until the first pitch of a World Series featuring the Boston Red Sox and suffice to say, I am very excited.
However, I'm not a nervous wreck. I haven't been so excited, anxious and or nervous that I was on the verge of throwing up all day. I was able to concentrate at work today. I'm not watching pre-game right now.
Etc., etc.
Does anyone else feel like this time around it feels incredibly different than in 04? I knew breaking the "curse" would be unique and something we could never really experience again, but it's just sooo different this time around and I guess I didn't expect that.
In 04, we had 86 years of losing to get off our backs. On top of this, from a personal standpoint, in 04, I was in college in Boston and living about 500 yards from Fenway Park. I would walk over to Fenway after every playoff game and just hang out with everybody else chanting, putting up signs, etc. The city was electric. And maybe now that I'm not in that proximity to it, maybe now that I can't go hang out around Fenway till the wee hours of the morning, sure, that's one aspect of it.
But I don't know, it just doesn't feel the same. Period. I wish it did. It's exciting in its own right, but just not the same. Anyone else?
