IT'S SO HARD TO SAY GOOD-BYE
Man, I hate it when baseball season is over. And it is for me. Though my wife doubts it, it is. My Cardinals tanked it. It's inconceivable that they're not in the playoffs.
So who's in? The Redlegs. I don't like that team. The Army Insects (GI ants) I don't like them either, mainly because I was rooting for the Padres in that division. The Giants don't have their names on the back of their uniforms. That's reason enough. And the Bravadoes, chokingest team in the nineties. I don't like the tomahawk chop. Again--reason enough. The Fightin' Phillies who refused to rest Chase Utley, but chose to rest Roy Halladay. The later was on my roto team who lost the World Series partly due to that. Utley was on the winning team and he hurt me Saturday. Plus, their fans are too mean. So as you can see--there's not a team in the bunch, though I lean to the Phils, but not enough to watch them.
In the Junior circuit (I love to call them that since it disturbs American League fans almost as much as the DH disturbs me) you have the Yankees. Too East Coast big spending for me. (Oh and I'm rooting for the Phillies? OK, you talked me out of it. I favor no NL team.) The Twinkies. At least they destroyed that stupid place where they used to play, but not enough for me to erase the '87 World Series loss to my beloveds. The Rangers. Huh? How'd they get there? Ok, I suppose I'll choose them. I like Nolan Ryan their owner but probably couldn't name 5 players on their team. And the Devil Rays. Evan Longoria was another fantasy stud of mine who sat out the last 9 games of the season leaving a big old hole in my line-up. Plus their lousy ball park is another reason to stay untuned.
There you have it. My sour grapes. My bursted bubble. I'll wait till next year for anymore baseball.
