How about those Red Sox!

As I'm typing this, I'm too tired to write about what I really want to. The upside to that is, I have the strength and motivation to write about the American League Championship Series instead. Not a bad trade-off, actually.

After the hated Yankees won the first three games, I thought I'd be stuck with them for another Series. I was so disappointed that Schilling, Pedro, Manny and Ortiz wouldn't make it. "They sure would have been fun to watch!" I said to myself.

Yes, they will be.

I hope the rest of the American League now wakes up and realizes the Yankees are human, after all. Human enough to lose a seven-game series after winning the first three games, something that's never happened before in the history of baseball post-season play. And it couldn't have happened to a more deserving team and team owner! Heh heh heh.

I'm still rooting for the mighty Cardinals to face Boston in a Series that will have the nation literally seeing red. But even a Boston-Houson series would be great. I'd love to see how Astros ace Clemens does against the Red Sox, given all the bad blood between him and his old team.

Well, Astros or Cardinals, whoever wins the National League Championship Series, I win. The Series definitely will be exciting. Not at all like last year, when the Yankees-Marlins matchup left me overwhelmed with ennui.

Let the games begin!
