I'm not sure how to feel about the Red Sox right now. I mean, they're playing great. 8-1 againt the top three teams of the AL West, including sweeping Oakland in Oakland? That stuff never happens. West coast road trips always used to kill us. In fact, I'm sort of worried about Seattle. Going 12-1 or 11-2 just seems too good to be true.

But I have passed the point of no return: I think the Red Sox are going to win the World Series this year. And I'm going to be crushed if they don't.

Plus the Patriots are starting tonight, and again, I'm not sure how to feel. With the Red Sox playing as hot as they are, I feel like I'm neglecting the Pats. It's like a parent focusing on the underachiever and forgetting about their other child who happens to be the class valedictorian.

Not to mention that most people are picking the Pats to repeat as Super Bowl Champs this year. If they don't, should I be dissappointed? I've two Super Bowl victories in my lifetime--can I ever really complain? I guess we'll find out tonight.
