The only reason this post is here is because I felt I should make the obligatory post about the World Series. Of course, the more I read online and heard on TV, the less I cared about the World Series. Congrats Boston fans, your team won. Now go away. Seriously. If it wasn’t bad enough we had to spend so much time hearing about “the curse”, starting earlier today and probably for many months or years to come, we get to hear “what am I going to do without the curse?” It’s gotten pathetic, it really has.

The worst I think I heard was a comment in ESPN’s on going chat throughout the game, when the Red Sox went down in the 9th and Keith Foulke was coming into the game, someone said, “I don’t want Foulke out there, he’s not a true Red Sock, he hasn’t been through it all with this team.”

Are you freaking kidding me? Your ownership paid alot of money for this guy to be here, and without him, the line of gas cans you kept in your bullpen would have had you watching ALL the playoffs at home. If you want to whine about how you finally won something after almost nine decades of shittyness, and its not perfectly how you want it, I know 28 other teams that would love to have what you just won (and the Yankees would like to buy it, Steinbrenner will be on the phone in the morning).

So congratulations, but not for winning, rather for finally not imploding when it mattered most. (Or being, um, “cursed”, or whatever you want to call it).

And Little G, please let me know that you were running drunk and naked through the streets of Findlay with a pony keg in a wagon, and that’s why I didn’t get a “How ya like that, bitch!” phone call. I’d hate to think you went through so many crusty Sox hats and yards of electrical tape to turn in early tonight.
