Looking back, It could be worse

So this past weekend, I went to Houston to see my family and watch the Red Sox play the Astros. My mom had gotten tickets for us for Saturday night, and then Amber got tickets for Sunday. I was really lucky to be able to go see my two favorite teams twice. However, that weekend started what I like to call the downhill slide. It usually hits the Sox around the end of July, beginning of August. Things just stop clicking and we begin to raise losing to an art form. Yes I know the Astros have done that more than once this year, but not this weekend. Saturday was a great game. It was a real battle, people getting behind and then coming back and all sorts of goodness. I wasn't that worried about losing that game, since it was a real battle and the 'Stros deserved to win. They fought hard. However, on Sunday, it was like we decided that we didn't really want to play baseball. We wanted to play crapball. I love my Sox, really I do. But when you let a ball get by you not once but twice, because you didn't dive (*cough*Dustin*cough*), that's a little bit of a problem. Joshua pitched well, which was awesome, but Bryan Mohler pitched really well too. Either that or we retired our bats a little early. I also realized that opposing fans are kinda rude. Why can't they just let everyone enjoy the game in their own way? Why do they have to make despariging comments and just be rude? What's the point of ruining other people's good times? I just don't see the point. So since they left Houston, the Sox have gone to Tampa Bay, where we rolled over and died for the Rays, who are now ahead of us by 3.5 games. And do we get to go home to Fenway, where we actually can play the game? Nooooooooooooooo. We get to go to the Bronx to play the Yanks during the 4th of July weekend. *Sigh* I sometimes hate this game.
On another topic, I get to see a bunch of people I never see this weekend. I'm going to see Allison and Dan tonight/tomorrow at the lakehouse for the 4th. Then on saturday I'm going to MY lakehouse to see Jamesie, and Mah might come into the Rio Saturday night! I think it's gonna be a great weekend, and a happy fourth! I just wish we would get out of our slump please?!
