Go Sox!

October 7th, 2008 · 3 Comments

And so the Red Sox squeezed past the Angels into the ALCS against the…Tampa Bay Rays!?!? Doesn’t matter.  What is important is deciding where to watch the games as the playoffs heat up.  Last year it was the Rickshaw, but I’ve been hearing about quirks in service as management focuses its attention on the hyper-successful Sanlitun’r start-up Saddle.  Goose and Duck seems an obvious choice, and if they were still back at Chaoyang Park West Gate it would be a no brainer, but now they’re out halfway to Tongzhou.  (Okay, just the other side of the park, but it’s a perception thing…)

Maybe hanging in my little courtyard with the US feed from MLB.com?

Decisions, decisions, decisions…

    Oh, how I’m envious that your team is (again) competing for the pennant, and likely to win as I think the clock will strike twelve for Tampa Bay in this series.

    As someone who knows Davis, though, you must have come across a few of us long-suffering Giants fans who watched our team complete another mediocre campaign. We do have the duty, though, to root hard against the evil Dodgers and their dreadlocked superstar.

    I suppose I’ll try and catch as much baseball as I can, though with the election and work and study and everything else it’ll be hard to find the time of day.

    Anyway, good luck to your Sox Jeremiah….no domed team- however inspiring- should win the World Series.

    I hear you. I actually have a soft spot for the Giants from being in Davis, but I’m rooting for the Dodgers to make the Series.

    Derek “I don’t have a problem” Lowe, Manny Dreads, Joe “Mr.” Torre against the new look Sox…it’s MLB as filtered through the warped mind of Vince McMahon. Bring it.
