Well, the curse is finally over.  Congrats to the Sox fans.  Don't burn the town down.  Now that the Boys of summer are done though it is getting to be time to think about the Boys (and Girls) of Winter.  The end of the ball season means we are only getting closer.  Fortunately, the walleye fishing on Oneida Lake this time of year is a great crossover between the seasons.  I took a bag of ice and threw it out into the water last night, but it wasn't the same.  Oh well, it won't be long.  Anyway like I said, Party and enjoy out in New England, and as a Mets fan surrounded by Yankee 1d10ts I hope you show them the same courtesy they have shown you over the years. 
Fish may be stupid but I've never seen a perch sitting in a boat with a second degree sun burn trying to catch a man.

I am so happy for the Red Sox finally. I wish Bill Buckner was still playing though so he could atone even more. He was a good player who happened to make one bad play, but it came at the worst time.
I love baseball. There is no sport like it. I used to love the NBA, but now that the great ones of Stockton, Malone, and the greatest of all, MJ, are gone, it just isn't the same. The only one good enough to be in their category in the league is Shaq. Not to say that Mcgrady, Carter, or Bryant aren't good, and that Lebron James, Dwayne Wade, and Carmelo Anthony don't have the potetional to be even better than those three.
Anyway back to baseball. The Sox have finally done it. I am so happy to see the monkey off the back. The curse is broken. They did it by being men and brothers, only thinking of the team an the win instead of personal glory and endorsements. If only Stockton and Malone could have had good enough teammates to win a title once MJ was gone. They were the only ones I could think of in any sport that deserved it worse than the Sox. Now I just hope the Cubs can win one finally. Get a closer and have a healthy staff and they will do it.

Good to see the Sox break out of the curse.

Now the Brewers need to end their 12 season losing streak, and get to the playoffs within 5 years!!!!!

Rioting in Milwaukee......I could see that if the Brewers finish over .500 next year!!!!
Play 'em if you wanna fillet 'em!
