Conflicted Baseball Fan
Will the Rox rock the Sox? Or will the Sox sock the Rox?
This is the dilema that I am currently in. You see, I am both a Colorado Rockies fan - as they are my home team - and a Boston Red Sox fan. You can imagine how wide my eyes got and how suddenly my ‘baseball soul’ became conflicted as I watched the Red Sox celebrate their victory over the Indians in Game 7 to win themselves a spot in the 2007 World Series. Having thought the situation through very carefully, I have come to a conclusion as to who I should be cheering for in the World Series. The answer is nobody at any particular time. However, while watching the Red Sox bludgen the poor Rockies in Game 1 last night, I found myself screaming at the Rockies to get it together and play like the awesome team they are.
I don’t blame the Rockies for playing the way they did last night though. I mean, for cryin’ out loud, the Rockies are such a young team and just look little compared to the big bad Red Sox. However, I think that’s just what the Rockies needed - to play the game a little and see what they’re up against. Who knows, maybe it’ll be like the time where the Yankees brutally defeated the Red Sox, and then the Red Sox came back to win 4 games in a row. Either way, I have hopes for the Colorado Rockies in this conflicted ‘baseball soul’ of mine. GO ROCKIES!!!
and I still love you too, Red Sox!
