Well, it was quite a trip. Sorry I’ve been away from the Sox and the blog for about two weeks. However, I’ll give you a few humorous tidbits that are Sox-related from the trip.

Our first day in Rome some guy walked passed us with a Sox hat on. I of course couldn’t resist and screamed out “Go Sox!”. The guy was kind of confused at first, but managed to get out a “yeah, go Sox” back. He then walks about five more feet with his girlfriend, stops, turns around at us and asks “hey, do you know how the Sox did against the Yankees yesterday?” I love Red Sox Nation.

For the first five days we were in Europe, the Sox won all five games and the MFY lost all five. You can imagine that there are way more MFY hats than Sox hats in Europe which is surprising considering that they hate our country right now. You’d think you’d want to avoid wearing a hat for a team named the “Yankees”. Anyways, every time we saw a MFY hat or shirt we’d cough the number of games up the Sox were towards the person. Cough, cough, tweleve and a half, cough.

I’ll get some more posts up soon. Since we’ve been back the Sox have lost quite a few, but I’ve still got some interesting stuff for you. I promise the two week break will be the longest of the year here.
