Double Dose of Victory
by Dave Z on Apr.30, 2008, under Sports
Still riding on the high of having 8 vials of blood siphoned from my body (and the subsequent replacement of it with new and completely fresh blood not yet tainted by my devilish habits), I was given more to be joyful about in the form of a Flyers 4-2 win over the Canadians and a Celtics 110-85 throbbing of the Hawks.
The Flyers, as per form, got a 2-0 lead only to blow it and make things interesting before finally coming out on top. The finish is all that matters in the end, but if I start getting gray hairs or have a stroke the blame is going to be put on them. I’m really hoping they can close it out this weekend. My fingers are crossed and a blade isn’t coming anywhere near my playoff “beard” (if you can call the long scraggly hairs hanging under my chin a beard).
The C’s did exactly what they did in the first two home games — blow out the Hawks — so now it’s time to see if they can pull things together in Atlanta’s raucous arena to finally close out this series on Friday. I don’t want to see it go to a game 7 in either series, because I’m not sure if my heart could take it.

So was your blood Orange or Green? Or both mixed together making a poop color? That would be sweet if you had poop colored blood.

It’s funny you mention green (Celtics) and orange (Flyers) because the Miami Hurricanes are green (albeit forest green) & orange. Hmm, the Dolphins are aqua (a greenish blue) and orange and the Baltimore Orioles are black & orange, just like the Flyers. I guess the secrets out that I picked my favorite teams based on my fave colors as a child — orange, green, black and blue. :-p
