I don't watch much baseball, but I can't sand the Red Sox!!! That guy with the bandana on his head, "Big Poppy", that weird looking Papalbon guy with what I hope is a toupee and not his natural hair... they all seem so smarmy, conceded and arrogant.

Then the whole curse thing... The Chicago Cubs have that thing too and it is all so weird and embarrassing to be involved with. Makes us seem like a town full of 16th century puritans. The Cubs bring out a goat to the playoff games here, trying to break some curse from the 50's. Very weird...

And if they show the video of Curt Schillings bloody sock one more time I think I'm going to kill someone. First they show that video of two years ago when he had a bloody ankle... then they talk about what courage and guts he has. Then they go back to a live shot and show that NOW... he DOESN'T have a bloody ankle (and show a micro closeup); But nontheless he is still a gutsy warrior even without his bloody ankle. Ughhh.

They started to talk late in the game about the Red Sox now being a dynasty. I just hope they don't show that bloody sock for the next 10 years.
