Game 7

3 more hours until …

I, like SageOne, do not want to say a word.

But I’m outta here.

Going to the gym, then heading down to Dempsey’s.

    I’m going to throw up, after I do something horrible to Grady Little for leaving Pedro in for too long.

    Lets go Marlins.

    Hey, Jim – do you want me to ban you forever from my site? Don’t fucking tease me right now. That’s fucking cruel. Thanks.

  4. I have never been a baseball fan, but I really got into watching and following the Red Sox over the past few weeks. Last night was the first time in years I really felt heartbroken over a game’s outcome in any sport.

    I know there is absolutely no way to compare the pain, agony and disappointment I felt after last night’s game with that of long-time Red Sox fans.

    And with that, I’m going to go have a drink. Yes, at 11:50 a.m.

    Ben –

    I wish I could join you. What’s it gonna be?

    Maybe a nice spicy Bloody Mary …

    Just realized that the post before this one is called “A little civility”. Which is rather amusing.

    So I suppose that I am not prepared to be civil to those who gloat. To arrogant gloaters.

    Nope. No civility necessary there, since they show so little to me.

    A counter story to that: Two Yankees fans last night at the bar were very sweet to me – congratulating me on what a great series it had been – truly gripping. Which is true. It was a great contest – not just a Yankee shut-out. The Yankees had to fight for that game last night – it was not a done deal, contrary to what most Yankee fans seem to think. So these two guys went out of their way to not scream taunts in my face – because, after all, the game is only really fun to watch if two equally strong opponents are matched up.

    Their civility towards me was great – although very very bittersweet for me.

    But that’s the kind of fan I am, and I appreciated their efforts towards me. I was able to civil towards them back, and congratulate them on their victory, even though I didn’t really FEEL it inside – because they were not gloating and trying to make my own despair worse.

    Only fans who have not suffered could possibly gloat at others.

    Civility stops when it comes to sports. One of my teachers once told the class “We don’t discuss religion or politics here, and because sports is a combination of both, we don’t discuss that either.”
