Some thoughts on the Sox/Yanx series.

1: Curt Schilling is much man. That is all ye know and all ye need to know.

2: I can’t believe that we actually saw two ump huddles result in the right call in one game. Hell, NFL umps usually botch at least one out of three challenges, and they have video to rely on. Kudos to the umps for putting getting it right ahead of their egos.

3: Let’s not get too excited about the Sox, folks. All the legendary heroics and drama of the last three games are merely about setting up their fans for an equally legendary let-down. Who knows when it will happen or how (there’s good money on a Miguel Cairo walk-off jack tonight, though), but if history has taught us nothing else, it’s that the Sox will find a way to lose.

4: However, I WANT the Sox to win. My two favorite teams are the Braves and whoever the Yankees are playing.

5: My dream scenario: Sox take the Yanks out tonight, scoring early and often to cruise easily. Astros beat the Cards, even though I really like the Cards. But we need Houston for the drama. In Game 1 of the Series the Sox beat Fat Bastard, chasing him with 10 runs in the first inning. Astros win games 2 and 3, beating Pedro down like the whiny little punk-ass bitch that he is in Game 2. Sox win Game 4, as Fat Bastard comes back on short rest to give up 15 runs in the first inning. Sox win Game 5, Stros win Game 6, to set up Schilling vs. Fat Bastard in Game 7. Sox tag Fat Bastard for 25 runs before an out is recorded, and the curse ends on an ironic note.

Yeah, that’s how I’d script it….
