Cubs Next?

Now what? Well, I do have a whole off-season to figure out what I'm going to do next season. It just seems wrong to be a Sox fan without feeling the anguish of yet another defeat. Will the loyal die-hard Sox fans know how to cope next season? What is opening day going to look like as Yankees fans hide their heads in shame?

Maybe it's time to root for the Cubs. Or maybe I'm a masochist.

The Red Sox winning was perfect. The beauty of sports is that there is no determined outcome and that the field is level. Of course, that's not true in reality, but it should be. I used to love hockey because the players didn't seem as obsessed about their own salaries and still seemed to play because they loved to play. A sport where they still respect their coaches and knew when to suck it up. The same reason that I like college basketball. And then all the hullabaloo occurs this hockey season and we are without hockey games this year. For someone who is not a football fan and not a big pro-basketball fan, the only games I counted on were baseball games and hockey games. What a topsy turvy year.

Though one of the best hopes to come out of this year is that maybe it will be the beginning of the Curse of the ARod for the Yanks. One can only dream...
