A hair RAYS-ing series

Revenge can be a sweet thing …

Flashback …last Fall … my boys lost the first round of the playoffs to the Rays.  It was indeed heartbreaking and upsetting. The pain sure didn’t fade for a long while. I was bitter, numb, and broken up.   The season was over and the rest of the Fall and the whole Winter season were going to be blah !!    The Rays made it past the second round and then to the World Series.  I guess it just wasn’t meant to be for them either.  I honestly was hoping that they would do well as I was familiar with their line up , they were an American League team, and it appeared that they played the 08 season with heart. 

Okay back to the present time – I really thought the Sox would split the series with the Rays, but the boys won a bonus game.  It was like yesterday when I went shopping. I bought this cute summer tank top .  The price on the tank top said $14.00 bucks and it was wrung up at only $5.00 !! I told the cash register lady that it was wrung up wrong.  She stopped and called the clothing department and the person said to let me have it at $5.00 because they were going on lunch and didn’t have time to check the real price . SCORE !!!

I won’t be wearing the top for awhile but I am optimistic that it will look nice on me when the time comes.  I am optimistic also with how my boys are playing thusfar.  Gavin looked much better than he did the last time he was out there (a little wee bit scared).  I also believe he allowed no walks today.   The first stringers definitely have their bats warmed up (Thome, Konerko, Dye, A.J., and Quentin).  Alexei hasn’t gotten there , but hopefully he can stop swinging at anything and everything !!! I have been impressed with the youngins’ out there thusfar with Lillibridge, Getz, Fields, Miller, and Wilson B. !!   I am really hoping that this year is BA’s breakout year.  He has proven his defensive abilities time and time again. Thusfar,  I noticed he has been more patient at the plate and has taken a good share of walks.  I like his speed and I think he has the ability to be a good hitter !!  I think the direction of the team this year is a good combination of the long ball hitters and some new blood.  Not out with the old and in with the new, BUT blend in the new with the old.

I don’t know what I will do with my time tomorrow with no game being on (well I actually will be quite normal … no being glued to the t.v. , or the internet , or looking on the Blackberry ). I do look forward to our series in Baltimore (who so far hasn’t been playing too badly ).

Thanks for reading and have a wonderful Sunday and start to your week !!
