Heartbreaker
Well, I'm glad that's over. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse can stable their steeds again-- there will be no Cub Series. I'm quite pleased. Andy wrote about how he was "happy to be a part of it," watching game 6 on Tuesday. Since I could not find a way to be a part of it, I wanted it to not happen. Now, happily, I am relieved of the circumstance that engendered that bout of unmitigated selfishness.
Now, two remaining issues to discuss:
1)When will the infamous fan of game six be turned over to the D.O.D. and shipped out to Guantanamo with the rest of the "bad people"?
2)What is the deal with journalists writing about curses on sports teams as if such metaphysical ridiculosities were fait accompli? Why do people write about these things as if they exist in actual fact? Sure, it's fun to say: "the Cubs/Red Sox are cursed," but i've seen these things written about as if a long dead, fat, lush of an ex-pitcher can actually cause an entire franchise to lose, or that an immigrant and his mangy goat can command fate.
