I Wish I Liked the Red Sox

I don’t, but I’m glad they took down the Yankees in historic fashion anyway. First, it’s a great accomplishment to come back from down 3-0. Actually, "great" isn’t a strong enough word. No MLB team had ever done it before last night. Ever.

Plus it was pretty cool to watch a stadium full of shell-shocked Yankee fans try to figure out what to do while the Red Sox celebrated on their field. This is going to be a very long and bitter winter in Steinbrennerland.

Padre fan Johnny "Captain Caveman" Damon knocked two homers and drove in six runs in the deciding game. He and series MVP David Ortiz immediately move to the top of the Yankees’ wish list for next year.

And over in the NL, the Cardinals forced a Game 7 in their series with the Astros. Don’t care much who wins that one. Slightly prefer the Cards because I’d like to see Woody Williams get a ring, and I think they have a better chance of knocking of the Red Sox. But Ken Caminiti played for the Astros, so I’d be okay with them as well.

Whatever happens, I just hope MLB will have the sense of irony to reintroduce the Who’s Your Daddy t-shirts…
