SOX WIN!
SOX WIN!
SOX WIN!
SOX WIN!

And if you have to ask which Sox (Red or White) you haven't been paying attention.

Over the past few days, it has struck me that the Red Sox winning has become a very important thing. Oh, I always enjoyed a report of seeing a win, or even better, watching a win on TV. But since it was pretty clear from mid summer the Sox would either win the AL East or get the Wild Card, the day to day progress of the Sox was less of a priority then dealing with my normal day to day things.

As of Sunday, that has changed. 

I really, really, really want and need the Sox to win. 

I don't know what changed. Sitting in chemo yesterday, I started listening to the soundtrack from "Fever Pitch" (the chick flick from a few years ago which featured an obsessed Red Sox fan and the Sox first World Series win since 1918) and realized that the Sox winning last night's game had suddenly became very important to me. 

It has become very important to me that they beat Tampa Bay, which will not be easy. The Rays are a great team and were so evenly matched against us during the regular season. I would not be surprised if the series went 7 games. 

It's not Yankees Red Sox, but it's close. And it will be fun. I can't wait for Friday.
