Red Sox fans have an undeniable spring in their step as they await Game 1 of the World Series in the greatest ballpark in the world …
Bill:
So the denial and rationalization has already started.
Pinto has a merry musing
asserting "Yankees will always have Bucky Dent" as "those things don't go away"
Doug:
Ah, for fuck's sake. Recent history always trumps the older stuff. Take Michael Jackson. What pops into your mind when you first think of him? The fucking moonwalking megastar singing Billy Jean or the fucking noseless freak who wanna be startin' something with little boy peepees?
Bill:
No shit. And it isn't just that Bucky Dent is washed up as a barb to Sox fans, the Yankees now have to deal with that shocking image of A-Rod bitch slapping Arroyo. Total fucking anti-mystique.
Bill:
Can you say irony? Turns out the greatest fucking thing to happen to the Red Sox was
not
getting A-Chop.
Doug:
Yeah, lets look at the history. Seattle has A-Rod and they suck. Send his sorry ass packing and they win 100 games. Texas gets A-Rod and they become the worst team in the AL. Rangers fly his purple lips to NY and immediately have one of their best seasons in years.
Bill:
Right. Then the so-called greatest franchise in all of sports gets A-Rod and they proceed to play out the greatest choke in the history of the game punctuated by that flailing white gloved sissiness and underlined by the screaming Jeter trying to convince the world A-Rod was really safe. My God that's fucking embarrassing.
Doug:
OK. This Spankees talk is starting to bore me. Yesterday's news and all that.
Bill:
Right you are, dude. Bring on La Russa and his Poo Holes!
