i’ve avoided writing much about my beloved red sox so far this season. partly because, like any superstitious fan of 30 some years, old habits die hard – we’ve done really well so far this season, sitting in first almost continuously since april, winning the a.l. east division, and easily dispatching the angels in 3 games in the first round of the playoffs.

tonight, however, the american league championship series against the cleveland indians begins. the winner of this best-of-seven heads to the big game, with a chance to play for all the marbles.

of course, a lot can happen in the next seven games, so i’ll be watching every last second. unfortunately the time difference makes that rather difficult. the games all start at 7 or 8 est, so midnight or 1 am my time. which leads to some rather screwy sleep schedules for a devoted fan in the wrong time zone – get home from work, eat, sleep, wake up at midnight, watch 3 hours of baseball, and go back to sleep.

but there’s always time for sleep in november.

the bravery – believe
