I just wrote this long thing about the baseball woohaw, which talked a mild amount of smack about you ca-razy Bostonians and your rabid fandom, and the fact that never have I seen so many people wholly dedicated to hating a team in a whole other state. Then, my browser went wonky and it got eaten. So I think that with the record-breaking comeback and now this, we can safely say that the Red Sox curse has been effectively transferred to all the haters and the naysayers. E-mail me for the address to send thank-you cards and small but expensive gifts!
Posted by hilatron at October 21, 2004 02:05 PM | TrackBackI am just so glad that you are okay over there. I was worried that your robot parts were melting in some drunken car burning orgy, or that your head had exploded from the force of all the whoo-hahing in that terrible accent going on over there!you don't need to appease those people. Do as the Brady's did and leave that cursed island!

Posted by: Hilatron at October 25, 2004 10:33 AMListen, we all know Boston sucks, whether or not the local baseball team actually manages to break the "curse" their repeatedly-disappointed fans have dreamt up. I'm not even a sports fan and I'm still cheering on the Cardinals (since my cheering for the Yankees seems not to have done any good), just so I can see this city deprived once again of the win they so strongly desire. Why everyone here is so steadfastly dedicated to this team, I'll never know. I mean, shit, you'd think they'd have turned against them by now -- and they've come pretty close to it at every instance when the "Sox" seemed close to losing their advantage, such is the fickle nature of the Boston sports fan -- but they stick with their team through the annual failed attempt to make it to the Series.
Anyway, regardless of whether they win or lose, the riot last week was nothing compared to what you can expect when the World Series comes to a close.
Remember kids, when rioti... err, "celebrating," always remember to wear your safety goggles. ;-)
