Game 1 Planning
Unfortunately, Sara pointed out yesterday that we watched every single Sox victory over the Yanks in a different place this year. Consider:
Game 4: Elixir in San Francisco
Game 5: Various airport bars in Pittsburgh, Atlanta & seperate bars at Logan
Game 6: Various TVs at Boston College, Sara's brother's apartment & home
Game 7: Charlie's on Newbury Street
Further, with the exception of the part of Game 6 we watched at home, we have never before watched Sox games at any of these places before. She contends that this is sufficent circumstanial evidence that part of the reason for the Sox unprecedented comeback was our unprecedented viewing schedule. While I pointed out that we also LOST two games we watched at different bars in SF, regretably I can't argue that this completely overrules her theory. As a result, we are going to have to keep up this schedule, which is complicated by the fact that I think I have watched Sox games at every bar in a 5 square mile radius of Fenway. Here's what we're thinking so far:
Game 1: Me, Sara, a battery operated TV, PBR and a seat on our roof. I just hope we don't get screwed up by time-delayed broadcasting.
Game 2: Downstairs bar at Joe's on Newbury Street. Bonus points because this is where Manny met his wife.
We're still working on the others, suggestions would be appreciated.
