The Curse is Foiled

So is it me, or is this whole Red Sox winning the World Series just a bit anticlimatic? I mean, it’s great to watch history in the making, see an 86 year curse broken, etc., but…I wonder just how many people are like a whole lot of the fans in attendance in St. Louis, with the facial equivalent of “WTF do we do now?”

Still, no doubt it’s going to be a huge party tonight in Boston. And wherever else it’s Red Sox friendly. And so, other random thoughts:

Nike, you suck. Run a commercial that shows every year since the last win, with anguished fans in the bleachers, stop at 2004 for…the “Just Do It” slogan? Crass city.

Jeannie Zelasko, what planet did you emerge from? I’d say Planet Ditz, but that might be too good for you. She made me start missing Lesley Visser’s hair, for god’s sake.

Manny Ramirez and the finger-pointing: funny. Manny Ramirez, the finger pointing and completely ignoring Bud Selig as he pontificated about bestowing the World Series MVP trophy: hilarious.

I wonder what Ted Williams would think of all this. Too bad no one thought to unfreeze his head to watch the playoffs unfold.

Favorite sign: “We Forgive Bill Buckner.”

And finally, here’s to next year’s World Series matchup: Cubs. vs. White Sox! I’m so excited…
