And we’re back!

Red Sox baseball is in full swing and I can’t be any more excited for it! Opening Day was fantastic, even if I didn’t get to watch or even listen to it. I’m looking forward to enjoying some games in the near future as well as Fenway Opening Day on Monday!

Thom and I are heading down to New York this weekend to see the Yankees host the Red Sox, which will be super exciting! Like last year, we’ll be placing bets for every BOS-NYY series. For the first round, the loser has to do karaoke with either “New York, New York” (for me) or “Sweet Caroline” (for Thom).

Let’s go Red Sox!

Bet #2

Sorry for the long delay on this post. As we all know, the Red Sox lost the second series to the Yankees, meaning that I lost the second bet. This time, I was tasked with making Yankee cookies.

Yankee Oreo Balls

They didn’t come out as nice as I would have liked them (I had a hard time with some blue chocolate piping, so I had to settle for light blue gel frosting), but I won’t lie- they’re pretty adorable.

 

The third series is coming up at the end of the month. What should the stakes be for that one?

The First Series

Well, the first Red Sox – Yankees series of the season has started and it isn’t definitely not going in my favor. At least it’s only been one game, so there is time to turn this around. 

 

For the first wager, we’ve decided on making the loser wear the opposite hat and jersey for their default facebook photo for a week. In the event of a tie, we’ll both lose.

Cross your fingers for a Sox victory!

Red Sox vs. Yankees

      VS.   

In personal news, I recently started dating a Yankee fan. Yes, I know. It’s weird, but I *guess* he’s okay. We’re both big baseball fans, so it’s a lot of fun to have someone to watch baseball games with, despite our loyalties.

We’ve decided to put stakes on every Red Sox-Yankees series this season. It’ll keep the season interesting and hopefully it’ll be a lot of fun. I’m going to log it all on here as something new to post every few weeks.

However, I’m looking for some ideas on the stakes! I mean, I’ve got the basics, like ‘wearing the opposite jersey’ and such, but what are some other things that you’d like to see us do?
