Sox Talk

The hot topic of the day at the Hot Dog Truck isn't all the construction, it's the Red Sox. The Sox versus the Rox starts tomorrow and Red Sox Nation is buzzing.

I'm personally still psyched they won it back in 2004. To have them back in the World Series only three years later is almost surreal. They are going to win too. This is a team of destiny, I've been saying it all season.

Everyone is upbeat and smiling at the Hot Dog Truck when they talk about the Sox. Even the grumpy old bastard types (the ones who still think these are the "old" Sox who'll break your heart every time) are almost giddy with anticipation about tomorrow night's Game 1.

I don't know what to tell my kids. When I was growing up, the Sox always choked and the Patriots were a joke. My kids have seen three Super Bowl victories and a World Series Championship in their short lives. They think their teams are supposed to win!

I just keep telling them, "these are not your father's Red Sox!"
