Remember What Happened Last Year During Interleague Play?

When I saw Kara had written a blog post about the Stanley Cup win I felt the stirring to write my own post, seeing as how I hadn't in a while. Really though, nothing I can say at this point in the Red Sox season can top that. Kara suggested that I write about how the Red Sox are in first place after that horrendous start to the season. I told her I'd better write fast in case they lose tonight. The Yankees are breathing down our necks and two straight loses to the Padres of all people have me worried.

Yes, interleague play is upon us once again and offers nothing more than the crappy logo you see up there and the novelty of pitchers hitting. Last year during interleague play in Colorado and San Francisco is when we saw the rash of injuries that the Red Sox never quite recovered from. I still think there was some voodoo at work during last year's season. This year we have the crazy idea being floated around that Adrian Gonzalez play the outfield to let Ortiz play 1st and get some at-bats. We also have Clay, Carl Crawford, Jed and Bobby Jenks on the DL already this year so if interleague play is going to do us in again I hope those boys in Pawtucket and Portland are ready.  Here's hoping we at least get to see Josh Beckett hit a homerun.

Stanley Cup Champions!!!

 A good amount of partying has been done, and a rolling rally has gone through the streets of Boston. Reason being? The Boston Bruins are now Stanley Cup Champions!

After a 39 year wait, the Cup has been brought home to Boston. With a season that started in Prague, the team has done plenty of bonding throughout the year. Some bromances have been created (i.e. Kerjci, Horty and Looch (one of the epic 3-way bromances); Bergy and Rex) and as some have said, the team has created the rare bond of brothers.

This bond (plus the skills of the team and the ability to come back in situations of adversity) was one of the biggest reasons the Bruins were able to come away with the Cup. Unlike a few of the teams that Boston faced, that relied a lot on the stars of their team, the Bruins were able to work together as a TEAM. As they always say, there is no I in team, and that was surely the case here.

As a fan myself, I will always remember the 2010-2011 season. I had a feeling for months that this year was special, and it was definitely a great feeling to have. Now knowing that I can go on saying the Boston Bruins have won the Stanley Cup, and I got to see the parade in person, there is no better feeling than that, and I can wait until the B's win their next championship. Hopefully, it just won't as long of a wait. So until next time, go B's.
