Cubs and Red Sox; don’t bother wasting energy on ’em. I did. What a total bummer. I don’t mind the Marlins so much as the freakin’ Yankees. The Red Sox manager blew it as badly as Baker did for the Cubs. Stayed WAY too long with Martinez; Baker did it twice, with Pryor and Wood.

I can’t say I’ll be re-arranging anything, or going pout of my way to get in front of a TV for any of the Series.

The topper for all this is Aaron Boone winning it for the Yankees, one of the “firesale” players jettisoned by the Reds back in late July. When I saw that Boone had hit all those long loud fouls off of Wakefield when he beat the Yanks in game 1, the thought occurred to me just before he launched it. The fans holding signs that say “Destiny” are confused. The Yankees have been there how many times now? 30? 35? Yeah, there’s drama. Right. It’s like a bad movie.
