I miss you Red Sox.

I don't know what to think about this years World Series, probably because I didn't get to watch it. Not a single play. I haven't seen any baseball in over 8 weeks. I miss it. Baseball is the only sport I watch regularly. Sure I like watching football, but I've been able to watch that here. I missed last nights Patriots game, but I saw them play the Cowboys and Dolphins. I really feel for Baseball. The Red Sox are in my blood. And something doesn't feel right.

The Red Sox don't win two World Series in four years. They just don't. I know it happened, but how? This is a team for the poets in all of us. This is a team for the losers, and the outcasts. This is a team for people with a chip on their shoulder. This is not supposed to be a team with the leagues second highest payroll. And most certainly this is not supposed to be a team that wins.

At the same time I'm glad they won. I don't want to live the life my grandparents lived. I don't want to fight a world war, I don't want to live in fear of MAD, I don't want to watch the Red Sox become losers again. This team is no longer the team that we all hate as much as we love. This is a team for all of us to love. A team that did its time, and can now win with dominating results. This will be a good century. This will be a Red Sox century.

Homesick

Psych!

I love this place. BUT, there are a few things I miss. Like the MFing Red Sox. They are int he ALCS and looking like they have a chance to go all the way. I truly miss baseball, and American football. Soccer is like hockey, it needs to be seen live to be enjoyed. I just cannot watch these sports on TV. Fortunatly the Rugby World Cup is currently in action and Rugby is great to watch on TV. I've managed to catch a few matches so far. As fun as it is to watch I would prefer to be watching the Pats destroy the NFL with their supreme awesomeness. If the Sox make the WS I may be headed down to Zürich to see if I can find a bar playing the games, which will be expensive, it costs 26CHF for a one way ticket.

Other than American sports ther isn't much I miss. Beer is cheap, coffee is delicious (I'll never enjoy Dunkin' Donuts or Starbucks again), food is cheap, water is oddly expensive and always carbonated, and the people are all extremely nice.
