WOW!

Along with everybody else in the country, I'm flat out amazed that the Red Sox beat the Yankees after being down 0-3. Do Yank's fans give a congratulations to the Sox, or does the hatred run too deep? I remember when my beloved Coug's went to the Rose Bowl for the first time since 1914, or 1917, or 1923, (either way, it was a REALLY long time ago). They were playing the Hated Huskies in Seattle. A win got them in, a USC loss got them in. USC lost while the Apple Cup was still being played. The announcement was made over the Husky PA system, and the Hated Husky fans applauded for the Cougars. Rarely do I have anything nice to say about UW, but that was classy. Just wondering if Yankee fans did the same, or did they riot?

I was watching ESPN this morning before heading up to VC. Their baseball crew made the suggestion that the Curse of the Bambino had been reversed by the A-Rod Antidote. Hmmm . . . interesting thought.

Now, who to root for in the WS: The Sox, for obvious reasons; the Astros, for doing another mid-season manager switch and going last to first; the Cardinals, which would make Tony LaRussa only the second manager to win a WS in both leagues. Decisions, decisions, decisions.
