BlackChampagne -- no longer new; improvement also in question.: Now What?

Now What?


I'm not much of a baseball fan, but I do pay some attention to the former "National Pastime." I knew the playoffs had started, and I knew my duty, as a morally-upright American sports fan. To root against the Yankees! I can't watch baseball; even the highlights bore me, but I can hope for the evil empire to lose, and since they came into the playoffs with the highest payroll (as always) and the best record (as usual) it looked like I'd be occupied deep into October. Instead, after taking game one in the Bronx, the Yankees exposed their yellow bellies to the sun and lost three straight, flushing them out short of the world series for the 5th or 6th straight year.

Chant it with me now... Fuck tha... *clap clap* Yankees... *clap clap* fuck tha Yankees... *clap* fuck tha Yankees. *clap clap*

Chaos consumed the Big Apple after their latest post season failure, with reports that notoriously-reactionary owner George Steinbrenner was going to get back to his roots by firing future Hall of Fame manager and dart team goalie Joe Torre, and hiring proven loser and recent quitter, Lou Pinella, or possibly saving some money by exhuming the skull of Billy Martin, bathing it in goat's blood, and sealing within a clear lucite sphere.

That controversy aside, what am I supposed to do now? I wouldn't sit through an entire baseball game under any circumstances, but with no rooting interest besides "who's playing the Yankees?" I'm at a loss. Like most thinking baseball "fans" I sort of support Oakland just due to Moneyball, and and my old home town Padres haven't officially given up grasping at straws during their annual first round beating by the Cardinals, but really, I could care. My baseball playoffs wish has already come true, and it's all gravy from here on out.

I called several friends Saturday and left messages like, "Happy Yankees Elimination Day! Our long, national nightmare is over." Way to go, Tigers!
