Everyone marks time differently. Some mark it by days on the calendar, some by paychecks and holidays. But in the Blackwood/MacDonald residence? Here it is marked by two things, and two things only. Baseball season, and football season. For die-hard Red Sox and Patriot fans, nothing else matters.
So, the Sox aren’t having the most stellar season… it happens. No one appreciates the work behind winning if you never lose. And seeing as damn near half our line-up is sitting miserably on the Disabled List, our wins are much harder won than most. Tonight marks the last game in a 4-game series against the Yanks… and as always, our household is hoping for a win. So far so good – especially with Ellsberry finally off the DL and back in the game. Now, if we can keep Beckett from getting ejected tonight, it might just be a successful 9-innings.
And Thursday marks the first pre-season game for the Patriots, and it promises to be a good game, against the Saints at home in Gillette Stadium... It’s a new season, and hopefully a fresh start, with less injuries and less chaos than what came with last year’s endeavors. Suzie and I have all our fingers crossed for a season kicked-off right.
