Could Boston fans be any more ready for Red Sox season?

The Patriots were the most disappointing they’ve been since before winning their first Super Bowl. I know, they didn’t make playoffs in ‘08 but that was without our Golden Boy.

The Bruins, after an embarrassing 10 game losing streak, finally steered back onto the ice, winning four in a row. They had TWO weeks to rest up during the Olympics and prepare to turn their season around, starting with tonight’s game against Montreal. And then, they were the old Bruins, giving up a 1 goal lead, scoring four unanswered goals in the third period. Hello, ten game losing streak at home.

Does blowing a lead sound familiar? Well, that’s because the Celtics have perfected it. It’s been a problem all season, but more recently it’s been getting worse. The Celts were up on the Cavs by double digits before blowing the lead in the fourth so bad that they lost by 20 points. Then, our Celtics did the unthinkable. They lost to the worst team in the NBA, a team that is almost the worst team in the history of the NBA: the New Jersey Nets, giving them only their 6th win of the season. Oh, and the Celts were at home. Tonight against Detroit, the Big Green, angry and disgusted with themselves and with Pierce back on the court, pulled out a win against Detroit 105-100. Even Nate Robinson showed his trade-worth, scoring 14 points in 15 minutes of time. Thank god, but it doesn’t solve all their problems, and I’m willing to bet no Celtics fan is getting their hopes up.

I”ve heard from a lot of Boston fans lately saying that they’re done with these teams for the season, or even as far to say our boys are “dead to them.” I’m not done hoping the Bruins will make playoffs to show some glimpse of the 2009 Eastern Conference Champions, or that the Celtics will put their talent to use and transform into the 2008 NBA Champs in the postseason. Boston teams have pulled off crazier things in recent years. But, I can’t lie, I’m really excited for the long baseball season ahead, knowing that my heart can’t be broken until at least October. The best way to get over someone is to date someone new right? There’s always the next sport’s season around the corner (33 days around the corner).
