Never thought I'd read *this*

Clicky

Associated Press
BOSTON -- The Boston Red Sox brushed aside the 100-win Angels in four games, dismissing their best-in-baseball regular season as last month's news.

When it turns to October, no one dominates like Boston.

WTF? I remember back in Oct 04 heading to the Rhino Bar in DC getting all drunked up with people while watching something that my father and my grandfather had never seen (though had been oft-considered).

While trophy after trophy is nice, I suppose, the Sox have come unmoored from history by all of this winning (frankly I enjoy it more when the Pats win it all). The sad thing is that all of the bandwagon mooks from 2004 now have hats that are just as faded and grungy as mine.

The only saving grace has been knocking the (Anaheim) Angels out in the first round in 2004, 2007 and now 2008...I'm never going to get tired of looking at the confused face of Mike Scioscia...that dude's team falls apart during the playoffs quicker than a drunk sorority girl.

And I hope you made a note of who has been playing really well for you in left field... :)
