Thoughts on the Series

Work's been slow again, well its just that time of the year for us. So I figured
I'd email some blogs to myself.
Well the cardinals are on the brink of becoming a footnote in history. The Sox
are one win away from breaking the illustrious curse. Though my main complaint
isn't that the cards lost, but more that the sox won. I mean one of Sports' most
cherished traditions is dying... the red sox are winning a world series. The
tragedy of this is huge. For all those people who hate the Yanks/love the Sox
because the Sox are the under-dogs, well you're going to have to change your
view. This death of the curse is comparable to Michael Jordan playing for the
Wizards, Shaq making a free throw, the Blues winning a Stanley Cup (the Red Sox
of hockey), another team besides the Dolphins achieving the perfect season, and
Kareem Abdul Jabar coming out of the closet... These traditions are once in a
life time events have defined these sports. For the Sox to win is to destroy the
definition of the Red Sox. No longer can you root for the underdog sox. All
we'll have left is the Cubs... luckily they won't break their curse for a
while... heh heh heh.
Two other complaints I can think of: I'M TIRED OF WILD CARD TEAMS WINNING THE
WORLD SERIES! If they were so good all along they should have won the division.
And I think the Red Sox are the least wild card team I've ever seen, they were
so much better than a wild card team. Florida Marlins (that was the yanks
fault), Diamondbacks (yanks fault), Angels (Giants fault)... the Red Sox however
earned this. The cruelty of the playoffs.
Another Complaint: If the Sox win, and then Kerry wins, and then the Patriots
win... I'm going to be sick. I think I will probably lose my mind in some
fashion. That would be the utter brutality of history.
