Went to the Bruins "Rolling Rally" parade

The Bruins won the Stanley Cup and tradition in Boston was to celebrate by having a “Rolling Rally” parade on the duck boats.
I had never been to a parade to celebrate a Boston sports team win. But David, being a huge Bruins fan, insisted that we go. I agreed and we made plans to meet some of my friends in Boston.

We got to Boston at about 7am. The weather was cool and I wish I brought a sweatshirt. The parade didn’t start until 10am so we had a lot of waiting to do. But if order for us to get a good spot, we needed to get their nice and early.
The sun came out and it got HOT!! I wish I brought a nice cold drink but I didn’t dare lose my place because the crowd was forming. Hundred of people lined the sidewalk to catch a glimpse of the cup and team that were to pass by.

Finally, after what seemed like FOREVER, the duck boats were in view. They made their way to us and were inches away from us. I loved watching David’s face as the players he rooted for were right in front of him.

Even though I am not a Bruins fan and had no clue who any of the players were (except for Tim Thomas) I got into the whole parade. I clapped, waved and smiled big as they passed by. It was amazing.

The Stanley cup passed by us and I felt an electricity in the crowd. It was truly awesome to witness. I felt like I just saw a piece of history. David nearly jumped the roadblocks to when the cup was right in front of us.

Although we waited 3 hours for the parade to start, it was well worth it, despite that we both got major sunburns and almost past out from the heat. David kept that smile on his face the entire day. Nothing better then that!

Watched the Bruins win the cup!

I would love to say how exciting this day was for me. How I watched the Bruins win surrounded by countless fans. How I high-fived random fans as beer is being passed out to celebrate. Proudly showing off my Bruins pride along with the way while confetti is being tossed.

Nope.

When they won I was home. Alone. In bed. Sigh…so boring.

David is a HUGE Bruins fan whereas I am not. I prefer my Patriots and Sox to the Bruins or Celtics. So when David asked if it was okay to watch the game with a group of his friends at a bar, I was fine with that. But there was no way in Hell that I was going to miss watching the Bruins possibly win the Stanley Cup, considering since the Bruins have not won the Stanley Cup in my lifetime.

This all came down to this game. The Vancouver Canucks were a strong team and so were the Bruins. Each team had won 3 games and whoever won this game brought home the cup. Bruins fans wanted that cup and chants of “We want the cup” became our motto.

So I laid under the covers in bed and watched the last hockey game of the season. It was an easy win for the Bruins and they dominated this game winning with a score of 4-0.

I cheered and wrote a Facebook message congratulating the Bruins on their win. Then I fell asleep. David came home and had this huge grin on his face late that night. I woke up briefly and then passed out again.

Hmmm… this sounds like my activities when the Red Sox won the series in 2004. I wish these games were on earlier. Oh well. Congrats Bruins and their die hard fans!

My first REAL Patriots game!

My amazing boyfriend bought us Patriots tickets for this year! I was so excited because this was my first Patriots game (besides the preseason game which doesn't really count). I love football and couldn't wait to watch the Pats play right in Gillette Stadium.
Here is our ticket. Going to a Patriots game is not a cheap event. Its $117.00 PER ticket!! The Pats were playing against the Baltimore Ravens. I guess I love to watch my teams play Baltimore.
Gillette Stadium is a nightmare to drive to so we decided to take the train in to see the game. The problem is there is only 1 train that goes there and back. So if we missed this train we would have been screwed and would have had to drive down. Blah!
This is us at about 15 minutes on the train. Love how blue David's eyes look in this picture!

This is what we looked like an hour into the train ride. I swear the train was only going about 10mph and we still had another 15-20 minutes on that train. We finally got there! It was such a beautiful day to see a game. Couldn't ask for better weather.The view from our seats. Another view from our seats. Look at how many people are here. Totally packed. Here comes the Pats! If you notice the cheerleaders are wearing pink. Some of the football players were wearing pink today too. This was to support Breast Cancer awareness month!

Here they are!The beer cost $7.50 per bottle at the game. Some people were buying three or four of these during the game. That is just crazy! I only could afford the one.

The game was amazing! It was a close game and there were so many penalties called against the Pats.Half time! We were only behind by 3 points!!

The Pats cheerleaders. They were doing some kind of dance here. But there were not as good as...this guy right here. He had the best dance moves I have ever seen. :)The game went into overtime. This is the best shot I could get of Tom Brady. Notice how tiny he is compared to the rest of the team.


With the score tied and into overtime, the Pats where in field goal range. The win depended on this kick to be good. Did the Pats pull it off???

Duh!!!!

Everybody gets hugs at the end of a game! aww <3>

One of the best games I have ever been too! So glad I got a chance to go!

Booed Manny at Fenway

Somehow I was lucky enough to score tickets to the Red Sox vs Dodgers game at Fenway Park! Probably the biggest, most talked team to come play us at Fenway. Why is this the biggest, most talked about game of the year? Why did my ticket cost me a small fortune? And why did I want these tickets so bad?

Manny is back at Fenway !

That’s right, Manny is back. Since we normally don’t play the Dodgers in the regular season, this was the one game I wanted to go to since I received the Red Sox schedule. Let me just tell you, these tickets where not easy to get. But I was lucky enough (and slightly rich enough) to get 2 tickets to this game!


Yes I am in Standing Room. Yes I paid more then $20 bucks for these tickets. Yes I had to buy tickets to 2 crappy games just to get these. But was it worth it? Absolutely! I was going to be at Fenway eating a hot dog, drinking a beer and booing Manny! Mwhahaha!


The first thing I noticed at Fenway was the large amount of Dodgers fans that made the voyage. They were everywhere!

Some fans, like this guy, were very creative. This was probably the coolest thing ever!

Other Dodgers fans decided to bring large annoying signs showing their love for Manny.

We were early enough to catch the Dodgers batting practice. We were able to spot Manny pretty quickly because he was the sloppiest looking player on the team.

Actually our view from the standing row wasn't that bad! I actually was pleasantly surprised!

Up in our section there was plenty of Dodgers fans for us to point out that Manny isn't all that great and that one day they too will get sick of his antics.

This is how I felt about those darn Dodger fans!

Since I never been to a Red Sox game that lost and Dave has never been to a game that the Red Sox won, we knew this was going to be a close game. And we were right.

Some geek on the Dodgers made a homerun. I wasn't too thrilled.

But then the Red Sox hit a homerun and I was happy.

All through the game the score went back and forth. I DID NOT want to lose this game with all these Dodger's fans surrounding us.

The last inning and it was a tie score. Little Dusty P. was up at bat. I crossed my fingers!!

Did he do it????



YES!! Little Dusty P. brought got a run in and the Red Sox win!!!!!

What a fantastic game!! Eat that Manny lovers!!
