How Long Until Pitchers and Catchers Report?

And so another baseball season ends, and MLB manages to avoid November Baseball and late-season snow-outs. But now I agree with gridlore that the Red Sox are no longer plucky underdogs. Their curse is now well and truly broken. Personally, I was hoping Colorado would have been able to pull it out, as it would have been fitting for the Sox to lose four straight to lose the Series.

And, like gridlore, my first thought when I heard during last night's game that Alex Rodriguez will become a free agent was, "Hm, the Giants have money available now." However, given how much A-Rod was making at New York, the Giants would have to once more mortgage the franchise on a single player in order to pick up the superstar. Unless he were somehow willing to take a pay cut to get away from New York, which seems highly unlikely.

There never was a curse. It was just Red Sox fans way of denying they had lost to better teams.

Underdogs maybe not, but as long as the star relief pitcher keeps doing a flippin' Riverdance and similar other aspects, we're still plucky!
