about last night

Since all the other Sox blogs are breaking character and posting about the Celtics, here is my story about the clinching game:

Katie and I watched the game at Mike's in Davis Square. We got there a little early so we could snag a booth before it got crowded. One person who also got there early was a lone Lakers fan (who really, really strongly resembled Jaleel White, we spent the whole game trying to decide if it was actually him) who was wearing a Kobe jersey and loudly talking smack to anyone who would listen. The whole first half, I wanted to start jawing back at him, but Katie wouldn't let me, because it's her job to keep me from getting arrested. As the outcome of the game became more and more inevitable, he started to quiet down (except when he would try to start "Fire Phil!" chants with … himself), and when there were about three minutes to go, when the game was effectively already over, he tore off his jersey and shouted, "FUCK THE LAKERS!" Everybody in the bar cheered. As annoying as he'd been all night, that moment was totally worth it.

And then, you know, the Celtics won the NBA title.

I am so glad someone else has a friend with that very same purpose.

Seriously, it's like a full-time job. She gets really angry when I intentionally trip people at baseball parks.

Mikes = best garlic bread. Ever. Hands down.

Anyway. Resume your regularly scheduled blogging.

You also know how to make people rally behind it, obviously from the responses taking time and real effort to make a good article !!
