Hi Lilize:

I can only speak for myself in this situation--I just smile real big and take a big drink of lemonade any time something "good" happens in the game. It's great--you're just happy to be there.

I am a Rangers fan because I live in Texas. I am a Boston fan because I love the idea of that team--a perennial underdog who is now doing very well--also, Texas never gets into the playoffs (since the '70's, they are terrible), so it gets lonely later in the year unless you can find a good team to follow.

It was just so nice to be out and see the beautiful green field, enjoy the sunny day, and feel the excitement of the day...

Thanks for coming by again!

Mike
