One Town, Two Minds

Today was a hell of a Patriots Day for Boston sports fans: the Red Sox won the first series of the year against the Yankees, they drew a beautiful day for the Boston Marathon, and the Patriots traded for Corey Dillon, their first marquee running back in years.

But looking at today with typical Boston sports fan pessimism, the Pats really didn’t need Dillon, ‘cause they’ve won two Super Bowls in three years without a marquee running back and besides, Dillon is an oft-injured, disruptive asshole. Also, no one from Boston was able to beat out the Kenyans in the marathon. And finally, if this were a playoff series, the Sox would have a 3-1 lead over New York with Pedro going in Game 5- and yes, they’d probably blow it.

Oh, and did I mention the Celtics?

UPDATE: And another thing- the Bruins lost Game 7.
