Red Sox - Yankees
I wrote about the Red Sox / Yankees and the lowely Cubs last year. I don't really care too much for this year's Yankee / Red Sox matchup. Why? A gut feeling I guess. A gut feeling that I don't really like either of these teams. I mean quite honestly I'd like to see the Red Sox win, but you know what I'm going to say that I never thought I would say? I like this Yankee team. I like Sheffield and A-Rod. I like Matsui. I don't care much for Mussina but that's more personal than anything else. If he was on my team again, or any of these guys for that matter, I would have fist fights in the stands over them being cursed at. Why do I like them? It's because, despite that they play for the hated Yankees, and depsite that they make gatrillions of pesos, I watch them hustle and make plays. It's just really these guys though. Jeter, I can't possibly like him because he's a snot. And the rest I've watched play in pinstripes for too long for me to even think another way about them. But, the reality is that those guys I listed before play the game hard and they play it the right way. I have to respect that. Maybe that's what's dragging me down this year. How can I root for Boston? How can I root for Manny Ramirez? I like Trot and Varitek, Pedro and Schilling. But the rest of them I don't really give too shits about and besides Barry Bonds, Manny Ramirez is my least favorite player.
But this years game 7 seems anti-climatic to last years. This years game 7 seems bloated and built up a little too much. This has the smell of a fix. But who am I to speak on conspiracy theories? I wish people would watch the Cardinals instead of eating this up so much, beacuse I tell you what folks, the team coming out of the National League, psst...come closer..."THAT'S THE BETTER TEAM!".
Of course I'm going to watch the game tonight. Of course I'm going to get to see 20 more Budweiser Commercials flanked on each side by Cialis and Dodge Professional Grade trucks. Yes, I get to see those things FOX TV. Congratulations you got what you wanted and so did everyone else. But this year...this year....I just don't really give a shit.
