The Last Night of the Baseball Season
Oct. 29th, 2007 10:17 amSo remember that scene in Galaxy Quest where Alexander Dane has just saved the lived of the Thermian crew, and enters, and everyone is grateful not to him but Captain Taggart?
In the NYC papers and on the radio today, the Red Sox, winners of the World Series in convincing fashion, are Dane, and Alex Rodriguez, who announced he's leaving the Yankees right after the game ended, is Taggart.
A-Rod is the best player in baseball. And a jerk. I'm not a Yankee fan, but I wanted to see him stay here and try to make his mark with one of the great teams. Instead, he's clearly just looking for the next big paycheck. And the attention that goes with it. He couldn't wait two days to tell the world he's moving on? He couldn't let the Sox have the glory unintruded on?
So, I say "enough!" And thus...
Congrats to the Red Sox on their victory. The curse is dead, and the Sox are clearly a deserving champs. Congrats also to all their loyal fans, who might finally have to get used to winning. Often.
