Celtics WON ON THE ROAD!!!

Okay, I know I haven't posted in a while, but some times things get busy. Anyway, the Boston Celtics won Round 2 in against the Cavs in 7. They hadn't won a game on the road... Then on Thursday, the Pistons, in the Eastern Conference Finals, beat the Celtics at home... Panic quickly set in, as the Celtics could not seem to get it done on the road in the playoffs. (Although they were great during the regular season.) Watching last night, at Palace Hills... in Detroit... quickly went from quiet anxiety, to excitement! The CELTICS were 20 points ahead!! They had multiple scoring runs. However, the Pistons showed they were a playoff team, and kept inching closer. Celtics offense started going downhill. And then... and then... THEY WON!!! CELTICS WON Game 3 on the ROAD!!! This is what Celtics fans have been waiting for all postseason long. This renews our faith that Celtics really will go all the way! GO CELTICS!!!!!

By the way, Red Sox seem to still be doing pretty well, also.

Sunny AND Warm???

Whoa...

I think it was March 28th - less than a month ago - we had more snow. Talk about DEPRESSING!! However, this past week the temperatures have slowly climbed, the sky is bright blue, the sun nice and warm, yellow, and bright. Well, I guess the sun is ALWAYS that way, but down here on Earth, I'm finally noticing again. :)

It feels great to spend time outside and look forward to seeing all the transformations taking place. The grass turning green, bulbs coming up, buds on trees, and flowers blooming.

Time to start planning another garden!
(Oh, and Red Sox continue their winning ways!)

Red Sox vs. Tigers on Opening Day

WE WON (yesterday)! 5-0. Phew - Red Sox Nation can take a breath now, and get ready for some even better games to come.

Red Sox - Opening Day 2008

After a pretty rough start to the season for the Sox, they are back home today for Opening Day. Game start is at 2:05pm. They are playing the Detroit Tigers. I sure hope they have better luck than they did with the Toronto Bluejays! They got swept, and it sure didn't seem too hard for Toronto to do so.

Regardless.... GOOOOOOO SOX!

Last Laugh??

I think Old Man Winter read my blog and decided to scare me. I woke up this morning, went to feed the chickens, let them out, and let my dog out and lo and behold... it had snowed. Okay okay, I admit it. It wasn't like 6 feet or anything, more like 6mm, but Old Man Winter decided to spit on me anyway and laugh. I had just written how I hoped we were done with snow. I'm not complaining, really, even though it sounds like I am. How can I possibly complain when it is 52 outside and any remaining snow is sloooooowly disappearing??

Oh, another sign Spring is here: Red Sox played in Tokyo yesterday and today. They won yesterday 6-5 (against Oakland A's by the way) but the Red Sox decided they didn't want to produce any offense today, and lost 5-1.

But Baseball=Spring as well!
Later!

Happy November!

Halloween has come and gone and November is here. The leaves are almost all off the trees, and the weather gets colder by the day. The Red Sox won the World Series, sweeping the Colorado Rockies. Patriots are 8-0, and hopefully will defeat the undefeated Colts on November 4th. Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and Christmas is already in the retail stores. The end of the year is fast approaching!

World Series 2007!

GO SOX!!! Tonight is the first game of the World Series, Red Sox vs. the Colorado Rockies. I've already heard enough John Denver jokes to last me a lifetime. Josh Beckett - we are counting on you! I live in New Hampshire, as you already know, and since we don't have any professional sports team, everyone here sort of finds a team to latch onto. Most of us are probably Patriots, Sox, Bruins and Celtics fans. (And then, for those of us who are tired of a lackluster Bruins team that just can't seem to win anything, we are Manchester Monarchs hockey fans...) I dislike the far left Liberalism of the state below, but you gotta admit, it's nice having teams that are on top of the world right now!

American League Champs!

We did it! Red Sox came from behind, again, to take the ALCS from the Cleveland Indians. Dice-K proved he could provide for the Sox in Game 7, and he played well. We stomped the Indians 11-2. This was one day after Curt Schilling pulled off a 12-2 win just the day before. Josh Beckett was named MVP of this series after his excellent job at the plate. The World Series kicks off here in Fenway against the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday the 24th. Rockies are going to be a tough team to beat. GO SOX!

Then, the Pats stomped Miami 49-28. This is the Patriots first 7-0 start in the team's history. Brady did all of this in the first half too! Well, one of the TD's was in the second half, after Cassel was pulled because he threw an interception allowing Miami to get that last touchdown. Brady thew 6 TD passes, which is the record now for the franchise for most in one game. He is on track to pass Manning's record of 49 TD passes in a single season. The New England Patriots are also the first team in NFL history to win each of its first 7 games by 17 points or more. And what do I have to say about Randy Moss? Just this - WOW! There's no doubt in my mind we will be at the Superbowl!

Last but not least, we drove around taking some fall pictures. I was disappointed, only because I could never get the perfect picture I wanted. Otherwise the scenery was breathtaking.

Peak Colors, Sox and Pats

This weekend is most likely the peak of fall colors for where I live in New Hampshire. Just driving down the road and seeing all the beautiful reds, yellows, oranges, and all the shades in between is breathtaking. The picture to your right was taken mid-week, and it in no way does justice to the colors that are out right now. (Click it for a better, clearer picture.) Hopefully I can get out and take some more pictures of the brilliant colors.
Temperatures today are not your usual autumn temps. High is supposed to get in the 60's.

Today is another do or die for the Red Sox in the ALCS series vs. the Cleveland Indians. Josh Beckett pitched another great game onThursday night to help keep the Sox in the series, now at 3-2. Only two more wins! Curt Schilling is pitching tonight..n can he pull off another win as spectacular as 2004's 'bloody sock' win?

Then, tomorrow the 6-0 Patriots vs the 0-6 Miami Dolphins. After last weeks spanking of the Dallas Cowboys, I seriously doubt the fish even have a chance. (Or should I say 'the mammals?') It will be a great game, nonetheless!

Hope everyone has a great fall weekend. Blog ya later!
