push comes to shove

the sox home schedule is set long before the nhl arranges their playoff calendar, but with a ball game every day, it's not easy. it turns out that someone has, as you might expect, dropped the proverbial scheduling ball, and push has indeed come to shove. the sox take the field at 7, and the bruins take the garden ice at 8. unfortunately, a person cannot be two places at once.

i have an offer of bleacher seats on the table, but i don't care if they're behind home plate--i'm not sitting anywhere tonight that's not in front of the black and gold. it happens the other way around in october (during good years) and nobody is confused by the priorities. playoffs? gotta be there.

well, ok, sometimes "there" isn't actually at the garden, as there are only so many tickets to see the canadiens during the playoffs, but a tv with a bar full of like-minded fans is the next best thing to being there.

go bruins!
