I thought I was at Fenway all over again when I arrived at Minute Maid Park tonight (well, the BUS first, but anyway) with all the Red Sox fans wandering around. I am really surprised there are that many people from the Northeast living in and around the Houston area. Surely they did not travel to Houston just for the weekend to see a baseball game.

When you left, I lost a part of me, It’s still so hard to believe, Come back baby please, We belong together, Who else am I gonna lean on, When times get rough, Who’s gonna talk to me on the phone, Till the sun comes up, Who’s gonna take your place, Baby nobody else, We belong together.

We Belong Together
