Winning? How About Playing?

Hey sports fans! (Can't start off cheesier than that.)  I'm going to put a little sunshine in your cloudy, murky day (OK, I guess I could start off cheesier.)

We're LUCKY to live in Boston.  Think about it.  The Celtics and Bruins are both in the playoffs.  Sure, they're not rolling over anyone, but the season is over in a lot of cities and we're still playing.  That's more for us to get excited about, (or complain about depending how much is in your glass.)  That's more live, unscripted TV we can watch, which gives us a break from the millions of reality shows.

I'm not a sports expert and I can't really discuss how the Bruins aren't quick enough to win the series against the Canadiens. I don't pretend to know why the Celts don't have a chance because Big Baby is not that great  (although I do know enough to say these games would be waaaay more fun if Shaq played.) 




I'm not saying we should be happy just to be in it....well, actually I am.   Of course we want to win, but part of winning is cheering the team on.  And in fine Boston tradition, complaining is OK too.  But it's April and they're still in it.  So embrace the playoffs while we have them.
If anything, it takes our minds off the Red Sox, who at this rate might not be playing past the regular season.  I guess my cup is half empty.  John Lackey poured half of it out.
