Chin up, Los Angeles/Orange County metro area!
Don’t have
much time for a long post today, but amidst the celebration, as we debate
our rotation and size up the competition (good to be reminded that Lester
is 3-0 with a 0.90 ERA against the Rays this season), I did want to extend some
condolences.
To Mike
Scioscia, for having his shrewd
small-ball tactical maneuver blow up in his face.
To John
Lackey, who, one must understand, is only lashing out in
anger.
To the
Rally Monkey, who not only was hung
in effigy, but, worse, was compared
to Sarah Palin.
To Curt
Schilling, who, to judge by the timing of this announcement,
apparently finds it difficult not to be the center of attention.
And, lest
we forget, to the partisans over at NYYFans.com,
who are now forced to watch two of their least favorite teams compete for the
pennant.
Says one pouting
pinstriper: “I came to the realization last night that picking a team to root
for in this series was like trying to pick someone to root for in an arm
wrestling match between Hitler and bin Laden.”
That can
only mean that this
is gonna be a good one.
