Thursday morning, my cousin's husband died. He was funny, abrupt in a funny way, and took care of his wife in a loving and fun-loving way.
We liked him a lot. Always had a good time when we got together, and without drinking. Kind of rare.
He was a rabid Red Sox fan and loved the city of Boston. He hated the "Yank-me's", as he called them. And yet, we got along great.
Through him, I discovered that Sox fans constantly complain about the same things we do. The moronic front office, the boneheaded managerial moves, the knowledge that the next fuckup is right around the corner. We would sit and bitch together about our teams, sometimes surprised by a positive assessment from the other side about something we thought stupid.
He was a great guy. A Red Sox fan I will truly miss.
RIP.

Sorry for your loss.
Yes, as much as I hate to admit it some of my best friends are Red Sox fans. I would miss them too.

No better place to commemorate a friend and more especially a Red Sox fan.

Sorry for this loss
A sad day indeed.
RIP
I am sorry for your loss, JM.
I'm sorry for your loss, too, JM. He sounds like a great guy.
And you're right, that's the dirty little secret of the great Yankees-Red Sox rivalry: we have a lot more in common than we care to admit. I remember some years ago, it was a big game at the Stadium and there was all the usual "Boston Sucks!/Yankees Suck!" back and forth.
Then the scoreboard put up a picture of VP Dick Cheney at the game. Instant, unified chorus of boos, rolling all around the Stadium. Whatever your political views, you have to admit that was pretty funny. It was as if they had announced Hillary Clinton at the Alabama-Auburn game.
As I've mentioned a few times here, we moved up to Massachusetts when I was 9. It was the "Impossible Dream" summer, which was bad enough, and then followed another near-decade in which the Yanks were hardly dominant.
I took some ribbing, but nothing bad at all. And I have to admit, I loved getting out to Fenway for games. Aside from the Red Sox, I generally loved growing up in New England. It's not perfect, and there's more racism than the locals would like to acknowledge—which makes it, um, exactly like the rest of the U.S. But it's a beautiful part of the world, and I love it whenever I can get up there.
How am I supposed to warble at 10 straight wins and being 9-0 over the Red Sox after that??
Sorry about your loss, JM.
Just saw this. Very sorry.
I wish America's political polarization could be as honorable as the Yankee-Redsock rivalry.
So sorry, JM.
I identify and concur with everybody here about your loss and our ongoing Hatfield/McCoy gothic saga with the boys from Beantown.
Life is short and precious. It's important to savor every moment, every friend and every bit of daylight that we have.
Thank you, everyone.
I love this blog.
