Thursday, July 15, 2004Angels 8, BoSox 1Rob says he has a hard time watching the Angels beat-up on the BoSox. Well, I feel exactly the opposite. The Sox are by far my least favorite team. In fact, I would say that they're the only team I hate. I don't hate the Yankees for being rich. They have a sound business model- they make the money, so they can spend the money. I even respect the Yankees, because on those rare occasions when they do lose, they hop right back on the horse and spend their way back to the top. No whining, no feeling sorry for themselves- they just throw more money into the furnace. And what's more, they almost always spend it well. Here's where the Republican in me shines through: The Yankees aren't what's wrong with baseball. The Yankees are what's right about America! Now the Red Sox on the other hand represent all that is truly wrong with America (and baseball). They spend like drunken sailors on shore leave, and then bitch and moan when it all goes wrong. Then they point fingers, claiming that it is the Yankee's spending habits that doom them. Think about it- here's the second highest-spending club in the sport complaining that the highest-spending club is ruining the game. Remember Red Sox, when you point your finger, you always have three more pointing back at you... So, as you can imagine, I had a good time tonight. |
