Bevy of Big Games

The Sox start another three-game series in the Bronx tonight. This time, I have a bet riding on their (hopeful) success. If my boys win the series, a Yankees fan friend of mine has to change his Facebook profile picture to something pro-Sox during our series in August. If the Yankees come out ahead, I have to change mine to something pro-Yankees. Crossing my fingers I won’t have to subject myself to Yankee fandom for that 3 game stretch. And, you know, pulling off the wins to get a couple games ahead of our rivals would be nice, too.

In other crucial games tonight, the Gator softball team is playing Arizona State in the Women’s College World Series. They lost Game 1 in the best of 3 series, so tonight is a must win. They’ve had a great season from what I’ve heard through Twitter, so perhaps another national championship is in the works as we speak. Stephanie Brombacher, our pitcher, just ended the 1^st inning with a strike out, so things are looking pretty good to start off. So excited to be working with student athletes this fall!

Last but not least, the Heat play the Mavs in game 4 of the NBA Finals tonight, too. The Heat stole Game 3 the other night and have the 2-1 series lead, but the Mavs have made some crazy comebacks. I know even if the Dallas comes away with the title, ESPN and the Heat supporters won’t shut up about how their all-star team got to the finals the first year it was assembled and blah blah blah. No matter what, Dirk is freaking awesome, and the Mavs are way less cocky. Go Mavs.
