Cleveland Indians, PeaceBang Salutes You
October 22, 2007 on 7:46 am | In Inspirations |Dear Cleveland,
I know the score from last night’s game was 11-2 but I saw that game, and it was no shut-out. You are a terrific team and you fought hard. I was scared of you the whole night.
Sorry we won’t see you at the World Series but maybe next time.
I do have one bit of advice for you, though: grill up that third-base coach of yours, Joel Skinner, and eat ‘im with ketchup on a bun.
Dear Red Sox,
I officially worship your talent and verve. Over the past two nights you guys went from being a very Beckett-Manny-Papi dependent post-season operation to being a superstar TEAM. You all had your shining moments of genius. J.D. Drew, you have been vindicated. Dustin Pedroia, I was there when a NESN announcer called you “little piss ant Dustin Pedroia.” You were no little piss ant last night. You were glorious. Dice-K, you’ve been shaky this year but I believe in you. Always have. And Jonny Papelbon, please stop dancing around champagne-soaked in your latex shorts after these huge victories. You’re taking years off my life. Jacoby Ellsbury, you too, son. You boys are so gorgeous and talented you distress my soul’s peace.
Tito, I kiss you on your baldie head.
See you at the World Series!

Does Dunkin Donuts make a special Morning After A Tremendously Exciting Red Sox Victory supercaffeinated brew? Because I could use some.

I don’t know, babe, but I think we might need to make a Wednesday night date.

They say the enemy of your enemy is your friend, but even as a diehard Yankees fan I don’t have it in me to cheer for those johnny-come-latelies, the Colorado Rockies. It’s just not right. The ALCS was an exciting seven games — I don’t care who you root for, as a baseball fan you gotta love all that baseball-y goodness. Congrats to youse Sawx for some well-played baseball and another hard-earned pennant. Keep it up — you’ve got at least four more games to go!

As a diehard Cleveland fan, my heart was broken…
Dont look at my website. I kind of have an endorsement up there for the Rockies… I’ll always cheer for the underdog. It’s what Jesus would do! =)
[Oh HONEY! They’re not just underdogs, they’re the Keystone Cops! I admit that I was humiliated with them last night. Although I badly wanted us to win, I didn’t want to do it at the expense of these men’s DIGNITY. My God, what a debacle!! Let’s hope they prove to be worthier opponents tonight, and in ensuing games. It’s actually not that fun to win like that. I felt like I was watching “The Bad News Bears.” And WHAT is with those UNIFORMS? - PB]
