Luva Not A Hata
To correct any possible misconceptions that might arise from JB's post, I declare that I do not in fact hate the Yankees. I admire their organization and commitment to success and find little reason to dislike any player on the team.
And if the Yankees do win tonight I will be on their side, hoping that they crush the Fish and claim yet another World Series crown. But what kind of World Series will New York versus Florida be? A rather boring one if you ask me. Yes, the Marlins are the Cinderella story of this postseason and there will be a stark contrast between the two franchises. The Marlins are the young, new kids on the block seeking to win their second World Series in only ten years of existence, while the Yankees are the tradition and glory rich club hoping to write another chapter in their already storied history. But that only takes you so far.
What has been the highlight of the postseason so far? Without question it is the Cubs finding new ways to lose and drive their misbegotten fans deep into despair.
That's why we need the Red Sox in the World Series. As JB has said, they won't win it. But how will they will lose it? That's where the real drama lies. And there's nothing I love more than good drama.
