Opening Day ANTHEMS! What’s YOURS?
Good morning, Soxies. And what a morning it is! Slough off those losses in the shower because today is the REAL opening day… as we return to Fenway for the 100th- (um, technically it’s the 101, but don’t get me STARTED)- and Josh Beckett remembers how to play baseball… and Kevin Youkilis returns to us in hit-tastic fashion… And 1,000 runs each for Pedroia and Jacoby (um, long game?)… and my new boyfriend Ryan Sweeney will continue to be a delight… oh! And David Ortiz will slug them out of the park and Jason Varitek will-
Oh. Right.
But NOTHING can keep us down today. NOTHING.
Except work. Because, as you are all reveling in Beckettesque glory… I will be here. At work…
But it’s okay, see, because I have a plan. I’m going to catch bits and pieces- and when I’m not watching, I’ll be listening. To Red Sox anthems.
There are the obvious ones. Like:
And, you know-
And, of COURSE I’ll be singing this in my cube (my coworkers are sooooo lucky):
But there are not so obvious ones too.
Songs that just get you in that happy, poptastic mood I like to call SOXY. Like-
And-
That’s YOU, Josh Beckett.
So help me out- let’s create a playlist of badass awesome…
Shoot your victory/peppy anthems to the comments.
NO Avril Lavigne-esque pity songs, please. We’ll let Tampa take care of that later.
Because we don’t need pity.
We’re going the distance…

And, if you want to laugh ’till you burst, just imagine your favorite Cleveland fan in a Damon jersey. Ohahahaha. That is never going to get old…
Youk’s coming back today, you guys!!!!
A “Dinger” by Youk-will prove we have the original here with us
I’ve always been in love with the “Broom Girl” in the “Tessie” video -just sayin’
I do like Tessie, but for the Orioles its Thank God I’m a Country Boy, and I’m not sure what the Nats is, and I was at the Home Opener yesterday. Gotta love my teams.
I was at thatgame Neil diamond sang sweet caroline from a far. Go Sox
“So good! So good! So good!” I will never forget the spine-tingling feeling of singing “Sweet Caroline” at Fenway Park the first time.
