10 Years

Bill:
So the Red Sox need an ace. Who knew?

 

---

Mike:
Yeah, I can just see Cherington and the gang sitting around a table in the front office saying, "OK, we've got a solid lineup at the plate, the infield is good, and the outfield as well, but I dunno, fellas, I can't help but feel that we are forgetting something."

 

---

Bill:
Oh, and guess what, if the Giants win this World Series they will have, gasp, tied the Red Sox for most World Series titles in the 21st Century.

 

---

Mike:
If that happens, I'll be so angry that I'll tear someone's lips off... yeah, that's what I'm gonna do.

 

---

Bill:
Meanwhile, 10 years ago today...

 

---

Mike:
Yeah, kinda puts whining ovah the lack of a Bumganah into perspective.

 

---

She turned me into a newt

Doug:
Giants 7, Royals 1..

 

---

Bill:
Korean Supafan, zero effect.

 

---

Bill:
Moose Antlah guy, zero effect.

 

---

Doug:
Lorde, I'm looking the fuck at you.

Inspired

Al:
So when I heard that two San Francisco radio station are banning that "Royals" song by Lourdes, I was like c'mon that song has nothing to do with the baseball the team...

 

---

Al:
Then I find out, well, it is pretty much inspired by the baseball team.

 

---

Doug:
Crazy right? I mean Kansas City has the Lourdes song and the Korean SupahFan?! How can they lose?

 

---

Mike:
Well, if you're scoring this at home, I don't think 1 Korean Supah Fan and 1 17 year old New Zealand girl with a George Brett crush equals a Dominican Lucky Midget, but I confess I'm biased.

Autumn Hiatus

Your omniscient author in absentia:
I'm about to go out of town on a business trip, so seems like the perfect time for a hiatus.

Nothing new here until Tuesday, October 21, at the earliest.

Happy Columbus Day

Al:
To all of you fortunate enough to count today as a holiday, Happy Columbus Day.

 

---

Al:
And to all of you who still have to drag your sorry asses into work, may you join me in petty jealousy and scorn for not counting today as a holiday.

 

---

Mike:
The dude Columbus didn't even find what he was looking for.

 

---

Doug:
Seriously, it's like, "I can't find my car keys but I found the TV remote behind the couch cushion, give me a holiday already."

 

---

Al:
And he didn't "discovah" anything that the Vikings hadn't already known about.

 

---

Doug:
But how 'bout those ships names, tho?

 

---

Mike:
I agree you gotta give the win there to Columbus. Nobody beats the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria.

 

---

Doug:
Meanwhile, this is all going to be moot once it all officially becomes "Indigenous Peoples’ Day."

 

---

Al:
Seriously, then if you don't give people the day off you're a racist.

 

---

Mike:
And worse then Hitlah.

 

---

Doug:
And Daniel Snydah.

 

---

"Growing old; it was a funny thing to happen to a young boy."

Mike:
A fulsome congratulations to the Kansas City Royals.

 

---

Susan/Circle:
And to Korean supahfan SungWoo Lee.

 

---

Mike:
Imagining what he must be feeling right now stirs up lots of memories from Octobah 2004.

 

---

Susan/Circle:
I remembah it like is was yestahday.

 

---

It goes on...

Bill:
Well, to anyone silly enough to think Jetah's 24/7 Retirement Tour would be the last we'd hear of him, may I present "The Players Tribune."

 

---

Mike:
"... a digital company that will offer unique access to top athletes in every sport -- from videos to photos to podcasts and more -- without having to deal with reporters to do it."

 

---

Bill:
Will the past person in the Boston Globe Sports Department please turn out the lights.
