Tense Bostonians
Unfortunately, I had class yesterday so I couldn?۪t watch all of game one. I followed the first two innings online at work and then hoped on the B Line for the interminably long ride out to BC. I rushed up campus, oddly enough passed the remnants of a Howard Dean speech (he apparently is a Yankees fan and, oddly enough, is only about 4 feet tall), and made it to Fulton Hall at about 6PM. The Sox were already up 8-1 at that point, but there were still at least 60 people crowded around the two TVs in the lounge, standing room only. In the next inning (7th?) after Erstad homered and Garrett Anderson reached first on a Shilling error, the tension was palpable. The people who had seats were sitting on the edge of them, people were swearing and talking to the TV and we still had a SIX run lead in the 7th! SIX!
I?۪m glad I?۪m more level headed about this.
