World Series @ MindSay

I can't believe this!!!!!!!!!!! As a Indians fan (I live in Cleveland) and a Yankees fan (Raised in NYC)...my stomach hurts terribly to hear this bit of bad news. I threw up three times (just kidding) and i preceded to commit harakiri on myself until the people put me in the truck. (They thought I was looking for purple bananas)

Illinois won today.  There would've been big problems if they didn't, since they were playing Ball State.


I'm watching the world series right now.  The Rockies finally started to make things interesting.  There's nothing worse than a boring baseball game, especially during the playoffs.

I think I'm rooting for the Rockies, just because they're the underdogs.  Really, though, I'll be fine either way.

 

I'm gonna tell you a story
I'm gonna tell you about my town
I'm gonna tell you a big bad story, baby
Aww, it's all about my town

Yeah, down by the river
Down by the banks of the river Charles
That's where you'll find me
Along with lovers, fuggers, and thieves
Well I love that dirty water
Oh, Boston, you're my home
Frustrated women
Have to be in by twelve o'clock
But I'm wishin' and a-hopin, oh
That just once those doors weren't locked
Well I love that dirty water
Oh, Boston, you're my home

Because I love that dirty water
Oh, oh, Boston, you're my home !!!!

Well, I love that dirty water
I love that dirty water
I love that dirty water
I love that dirty
I love that dirty water
I love that dirty water!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

The Sox have started the World Series with a bang... I am super pissed that all the games are starting at 8:30PM, Fox doesn't care about my HUGE need for sleep!!! :)  Whatev... GO SOX!!!!

Has anyone noticed my ability to begin each blog here with the obligatory "I haven't blogged here in a while..."? I usually feel like I have so much to say and complain about but lately, either so much is irritating me that it's getting lost in the shuffle or nothing is really bothering me. I can't decide.

One thing bothering me: the Boston Red Sox. Beyond the obvious, I have a friend who is teetering on the edge of becoming someone I don't want to talk to for the next few months because of her annoying penchant for being a pseudo-Red Sox fan for the remainder of October. Yes, I liked the Red Sox of 2003-2004 when they were top-loaded with fat guys with mullets like Kevin Millar, Todd Walker (pre-Cubs), Derek Lowe, Bill Mueller, Pedro and so on. Back then, pre-championship, they were so much fun to watch. Once they won it all, the polish wore off quickly as their fanbase went from also-rans to the most obnoxious group of sub-humans to walk the planet. Every time the Red Sox are in town, they arrive en masse to irritate and prove themselves the biggest jerks on the planet.

So yes, my former Red Sox fandom is dead in the water forever. The Boston faithful ruined it for me. They are the worst, Jerry. The worst. Worse than Yankees fans. Yes, I said it. Much worse. This from a group of morons who thought Aqua Teen Hunger Force Lite Brites were a plot from Al Queda. Idiots....

On that note, what is the deal with people who claim themselves to be "punk" and "indie rock" that are fans of the most mall-esque, corporate, whore-ish baseball franchises on Earth? For those who claim to hate all things corporate in terms of various forms of art can't get enough of the baseball teams that ESPN dedicates large blocks of programming to every week. Who needs to support a growing baseball franchise who developed their own talent (Rockies, Padres, Brewers, etc.) when you can flip on ESPN and watch "Cooking With Curt Schilling", "The Mike Lowell Power Hour" and "Talking Politics With Youk"? (As an aside, if you refer to yourself or anyone else as "indie" or "punk", you are a loser).

Enough of that tripe. So yeah, Dexter is still kicking my weekly ass.

ST. LOUIS, MO - The New York Mets captured their first World Series title in twenty years today while completing the comeback of the century, defeating the St. Louis Cardinals in five decisive games after having been eliminated in the National League Championship Series.  Cardinals fans were left speechless as they emptied New Bush Stadium, and the players themselves were equally dismayed.  "It all came down to who wanted it more," said Cards first base man Albert Pujols.  "You've got to give that team credit, they played with alot of heart and clearly didn't let their sights off the goal.  They kept coming back, even after we ended their season last week."  Manager Tony LaRusa echoed his player's sentiment.  "The Mets are a tenacious team, have been all season.  We played a good game of baseball out there and I'm proud of my guys.  I think we just let our guard down when we knocked them out of the playoffs."

 

He paused and added, "For them to come back the way they did. . . totally unexpected."
