mrkilbornTo the Chicago Cubs and the Boston Red Sox, with love. You have the greatest fans in the world, the most charming ballparks in baseball and are both heading to the World Series! All you need now are tickets.
Seriously, what's up with that curse business? The Cubs have had a curse since 1945. Ok, that may be true but how does THAT curse explain them not winning since 1908?
And the Red Sox. Well, there is the![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
affleck curse there. This is what happens when a Boston fan starts getting some Boo-Tay from the Boogie Down Bronx.
To Steve Bartman, With Love. The Chicago papers printed your picture, they posted the name of the company you work for and visited your childhood home. This, after you touched that foul ball that ruined the Cubs' chances of winning the Pennant. You have to love the dedication those newshounds in Chi-town have to dig up the important stories! Responsible journalism at its finest! Hea hea! Seriously, don't you have to join the witness relocation program? I'm guessing an Extreme Queer Eye Makeover is in order here. See you in South Beach, Stevy! Fab-oo!
To Pedro Martinez, With Love. You were incredible during that ALCS. No one threw like you. Unfortunately, that was just Don Zimmer. You should have saved those tosses for the game! No. Really, Pedro, you have nothing to be ashamed about. You can always look back on this series and say "I beat a Yankee." A 72 year-old Yankee. Nice job!
To The New York Yankees, With Love. 39 Pennants. Wow, huh? No other sports team is even close to the record you have. Don't forget to thank the aptly named Brian CASHMAN for helping to bring together the best team MONEY CAN BUY. Now it's the Marlins and Yankees. Woo. We were all looking forward to THAT one.
The great thing now is we can all start focusing on the NBA season a little sooner.
Proud of you.

Date: 2003-10-17 12:07 am (UTC)a lot of the yanks best players (minus the pitching team) are all homegrown talent, for instance... derek, andy, bernie, matsui and others have been with the team since their rookie years. i don't think a lot of them would rather play for any other team than the yankees no matter how much money they got paid. i can at least speak for my boyfriend when i say that. sorry if i sound defensive, but there is nothing more that i hate then when people say they are only so good because of the money they have. it's not like it was an easy game anyways, if the yanks spanked the sox, then i could understand, but the sox played really well. okay i'll shut up i am rambling.
i still love you <33
