Bye, Bye, Bambino
Thursday, October 28, 2004
Sports Illustrated was right way back in Spring Training. Hell Froze over tonight, and the Red Sox took their first World Series Title since Shoeless Joe Jackson played for the White Sox.
Since I was apparently in the minority of Cubs fans (most wanted the Red Sox to break their curse... somehow believing this will help the Cubs do likewise), I will have to begrudgingly congratulate the Red Sox. They were clearly the best team in this post-season, and probably during the year as well.
I also would like to tell Cardinals fans out there that they had one heckuva team, and hopefully they will divest themselves of Edgar Renteria this offseason.
I was talking to Cardinal Fan Friends Matt and Brad today... and we were working on a deal. I wanted to give them D. Lee, A. Ram, and Sammy for Pujols, Rolen, and Walker... they countered with Woody for Wood(y), Morris for Prior, and I insisted they throw in Steve Kline... talk-radio trades aside... my sympathies go out to Cardinal fans... getting swept sucks.
Prediction Review: I bombed. I missed both ALDS series, the ALCS, and the World Series. However, I called both NLDS and the NLCS... plus I get bonuses for correctly identifying the number of games in the NLDS. Still, I missed 4 of 7 series... which isn't so hot.
And finally, I promise a substantive post this weekend... hopefully I'll finish up my playoff salary review. This week has been a busy one down in my student world, and exams, projects, papers, and interviews have kept me busy.
