Being an avid Red Sox fan, you might think I would do nothing but complain about the disastrous end of the season. The month of September was nothing but pain and anguish. The best team ever turned out to be the team with the biggest end of season collapse in baseball history! But, my complaining doesn’t end there.

Not only have the Sox caused me a lot of suffering and grief, but I also have a cold...for a week already. I know you’re thinking... big deal, get over it! That’s part of the problem. When the Red Sox go down in flames, there’s always someone who wants to listen, offer advice and share the pain. However, when your head is about to explode with sinus pressure, your eyes are watering and you can’t stop sneezing…no one really cares. Suddenly, you’re a Red Sox fan in Yankee Stadium! I am left to wallow in pain with a double-whammy!

If there is any consolation, it lies in the fact that in a week or so the cold will be forgotten. The pain of this tragic Red Sox season, however, will last at least until next year. Thank goodness we have the Bruins and Patriots!
