Citizen in Exile:Rooting outside The Nation

Ok, everyone talks of their experiences with the Red Sox, etc, etc. I am going to try to blog as much as possible of the 2008 season. I have DVR, so the only people who can derail me are Fox and their exclusive Saturday broadcasts.
Since this is the first entry, I owe you all a little background. I grew up in N. Central MA from 77-95, and joined the military, where I did my very best to follow the Sox for 12 years. As a kid, I followed some of the great 80s teams, with players like Mike Greenwell, Jim Rice, Roger Clemens(aka Satan), Marty Barrett, and many more. I was one of those kids who was woken up late to watch the final out of Game 6 of the 86 World Series. I watched Macnamara fumble through pitching and defensive changes and lose us the Series, while players were unfairly blamed.
I watched in 2004, nearly every game thanks to Direct TV. i could tell you everything about that team. i had a feeling about them. only to have my hopes DASHED as the Sox lost 3 straight to the Yankees....and then.....yea. we all know. this isn't about me recapping old things. this is me discussing the current Sox, how i go about watching them, and maybe even some of my opinions on roster moves, etc etc etc....ok, like any Sox fan, there will be LOTS of opinions........sooo......enjoy.
