The Baseball Season is OVER

[gridlore]

Screw the Yankees. Sorry rosefox, but I just can't bring myself to care. There's no story here. No drama. The Yankees are simply the best team that money can buy, with an owner that is only slightly less evil than Bud Selig. The Marlins? Give me a break. These guys can't even sell out NLCS games! A bunch of no names who will be traded after the season is done. (if they win the Series, expect to see a number of them wearing pinstripes next year.)

So, I'm hanging up my baseball hat for the year. Wake me when pitchers and catchers report.

Exactly... the salary of the Yankee's is majorly above a lot of other teams, this is why the Yankees are the most reviled team ... they buy championships essentially by having a budget over 3 times some of the other teams for salaries.

I am with you completely. Yankees-Marlins. Yawn. If the Marlins win, I will be vaguely grateful to them, but I found more to like about the AZ Diamondbacks the year they took it from the Biggest Wallet in Baseball.

A friend of mine works for Ticketmaster (you may express your sympathies now), in one of their West Coast call centers. The last few days, many East Coast calls for series tickets have been mistakenly routed to this center.

The Marlins fans have been polite and understanding of the error, overall. The reactions of the Yankees fans have been mostly unprintable. Comments on the general character of NYers aside, I suppose this is the sense of entitlement that results from believing the pennant has been bought and paid for.

Oh, but hey, look on the bright side:
Without a Cubs-Sox series, the chances of the Earth exploding (ala Krypton) have gone down significantly!

Right there with you, Doug. As I've said to people today, we had a chance to see baseball history, probably the only chance we will EVER have in our lifetimes to see that match-up of legendary luckless underdogs play some real, honest-to-Wrigley baseball... and now instead, we've got the winningest and probably most spiteful, hated team in either League up against an expansion team that still has new car smell and no appreciable character to make me give a damn about it as a club.

I hope to Nielsen that this year's Series is the lowest rated ever, just to show both teams what people were really looking forward to seeing.

Hey! They may have the bucks, but we'd have had game seven if they'd just taken Pedro out. <incoherent muttering>

(And no, I haven't abandoned the Twins. I'm only a Red Sox fen when they're not playing Minnesota.)
