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 [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] 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!
