⚾ Thinking of Roby and Shirley and aunt Ruth, all ardent Red Sox fans. The Sox have been an unexpected gift this season. Last year we ended in the cellar. Now it's October 17th and we are in the Post Season ! How unexpected. It is 'wicked awesome' as they say here in Boston. Red Sox record breaking history: two grannies, aka Grand Slams, one by J.D. Martinez, another by Rafael (Rafi) Devers in the first inning ! We led the Astros 8-0 in the first two innings. We beat them in their own ballpark, Minute Maid Park.....serious WS vibes - like the 2013 Marathon Bombing season when the Sox were not expected to go anywhere in the Post season but, defying expectations, they went on to win it ALL !

Deb and I watched the game together while on the phone. My commentary was better than Joe Buck's. He did everything but come right out and root for the Astros all night. So much for Fox Sports. Other Red Sox fans commented on that too.
So wonderful to hear from Alan Z. today, after the fabulous blowout of the Astros by the Sox last night, 12-3 Sox ! It was a repeat from the night before, 8-0 Sox in the 2nd inning !
"Those low expectations make this ride even more fun and exciting. And Renfroe and Bogaerts haven't even started hitting yet! " ⚾
I just called Bernice and talked to her terrific companion Rickee. Bernice had dental surgery yesterday - I will call her back and ask if that Pennant is still taped to Roby's bookcase in his office ! see below :-)
