Do I still believe?
I believe. Then I can't believe. Then I can believe. Then I can't. This is the problem with being a Red Sox fan. This is the reason I have these chronic stomach issues right around the post-season. After the first three games against the Yankees, I had truly given up hope. I even knew that Boston would win at least one more, just to give the doubters a little hope. Just to make defeat hurt that much more.
Ken summed it up nicely in his latest entry "On being part of the Red Sox nation".
But you know what? I've been fooled. I've been sucked in. I practically went to bed last night with my rally cap perched on my head. Can they really do what no other team in the history of baseball has done, return from 0-3? Probably not. Am I going to hold my breath? Absolutely.
I'll be there at Mackey's today, 5 o'clock. All are welcome, either to cheer for the Sox, or cheer for an end to these posts.

No! Give up hope! It is the only way they can succeed! :)
