I don't usually post about baseball. Mainly because I don't usually watch baseball. At all. Ever. Mainly because I don't give a crap about baseball. Not one. But I think a lot of people who weren't baseball fans started watching when the Red Sox won Game 4 against the Yankees. And even those who knew little about baseball trembled with excitement and watched in awe as the Sox came back to win four straight and beat the Yankees, a feat never before accomplished in the entire 100+ year history of professional baseball. And a lot of people who weren't baseball fans watched to see if this curse they'd heard mentioned here and there could actually be broken this time. And when it was, even those who knew little about baseball stood in front of the Fellowship Center TV in stunned disbelief. Oh, uhh... or whatever TV they were watching it on.
So even I cannot help but put up a post saying, "They Did It!!!" And in style. No less than a seemingly effortless sweep.
When it was all over, one man expressed disbelief at how easily the curse had been broken. It all seemed to easy. But I reminded him that they had only accomplished that which had never been done before to get to the World Series. From which perspective, he agreed, it seemed more validly earned.
Here's to the Red Sox. Babe Ruth must finally have been satisfied. So much for the Curse.
Say your prayers though, because I am told by a very Reliable Source that the Red Sox winning the World Series is sign number five of the Apocalypse. So you better make things right with the Big Guy. Go to confession, or whatever.

The Babe was not satisfied that the Sox won the series. He's the one who, as the train pulled away from the Boston terminal, taking him to New York, shook his fist at the city and "cursed" the Sox b/c he was sold. He hadn't even been traded.
And while we're on the subject of sports there needs to come a day, my man Tuck, when you shall grip the handle of a golf club and experience why it's such a great game. And when you do, I'm sure Jesus will return the next day!
Yep. The Babe is up there in heaven, smokin his stogie, probably drinkin a beer, wearing his crown and finally said, "What the #*@! let em win one."
And while we're speaking of sports I believe the time is coming, my man Tuck, when you shall grip the handle of a golf club and discover the joy of the game. But then, that would be the coming of the Apocalypse!
