Opening Day

What more lovely way to spend Easter Weekend then by watching Opening Day? Tonight Holly and I had the privilege of watching the Red Sox play their first game of the season. They played last year's winner of the world series, and hated division rival New York Yankees. Eww, I can't believe I even typed their name into my blog.

It was awesome to see. The lead singer of Aerosmith sang at the seventh-inning stretch, and Neil Diamond sang "Sweet Caroline" to fulfill Red Sox tradition. But more importantly, the Red Sox started off their season with a hard fought win. We beat the the Yanks 9-7, and that was after trailing 5-1 in the 5th inning. What an exciting day. My favorite player, Dustin Pedroia (I love him because he is 5'9" and aa God among men on the diamond) hit a 3 run HR and move the Sox closer to victory. It was fun to be able to watch with Holly. She is understanding the game so well and has developed quite the interest in baseball, especially the Sox - which is awesome.

I am looking forward to the 2010 season. So far, the Red Sox have won the world series every 3 years since 2004. 2010 is the next season in line. I can't wait to cheer for my team. It's going to be awesome!!

Well now that your updated, feel free to drop by our house any time to watch a game with us and have a Red Sox party! Go Sox!!
