So what the f**k am I supposed to do for the next week now? Watch the friggin World Series!!?? Who in the hell gives a good goddamn about a Yankees-Marlins series? I mean, Yankess-Marlins fer chrissakes! You simply could not have picked two teams guaranteed to raise less interest than those two. Maybe it’s cool in a way, Miami vs. New York. North vs. South. I have no doubt the television people are desperately scrambling to create some sort of storyline for their pre-game stuff, especially since there was such a microscopic chance of these two teams meeting in the Series. There was supposed to be a cinderella story – take your pick: Cubbies or Red Sox, it doesn’t matter. Now we’ve got the goddamned “We go to the World Series every time we’re not too busy picking up endorsements” Yankees and the “Well, we’re not even really sure why we’re here” Marlins.
Oh well, I had hope but I could see it coming. That’s one of the things to love about baseball: There’s always next year.
