That Boston Baseball Team

As it appears that the Sawx are going to take a 2-0 lead over Anaheim, and head towards the ALCS, I have three things to say.

1) Where's the ghost of Donnie Moore? Poor guy. Someone should have told him, "At least you're not Buckner!"

2) What happens if the Sawx win it all? Then what? Suddenly, everyone LOVES the Sawx since this "could be the year" that they break the curse. But if they win, they'll be normal. Just like everyone else. Then what? It's over. No more, "I've waited so long for this, etc." Why root for the team anymore? By the way, it's not like the Sawx are these huge underdogs or anything. They still have the second highest payroll in the majors.

3) If (heaven forbid) the Sawx make it to the Series instead of the Yankees, I sure hope it's against the Astros. It would be great to see Rajah Clemens beat the Sawx in the Series!

Has anyone REALLY been waiting since 1918 for the Red Sox to win the series?

Here's a little game I like to call "Kitchen Fresh Blog Point/Counterpoint"

Point: The Sawx suck.

Counterpoint: The Sawx really suck.

Game Over.

I am thinking of calling that Boston team the "Team-That-Shall-Not-Be-Named"
