I hate the Yankees.
A dark cloud descends over the land as the evil empire prevails again. Who, outside of New York, wanted to see this again?
If you did, and you are, then you suck. It’s too late (or early, depending on your perspective) to pull any punches. Yankee hatred may be a birthright for the Boston bred, but I think I’m just barely objective enough to say this with deserved conviction. That, or I’m just really disappointed.
As for me? This New England product hasn’t been this depressed since Calvin Schiraldi served up spaghetti and meatballs to the Mets in game six.
Yeah, I know. I’m too upset to come up with good metaphors. This will just have to do.

You missed the manhole cover.
Driving through a neighborhood, coming home with fast eats, a man is seen doing something rarely seen at home: he was mowing the grass. His path was perpendicular to the street. His heading brought him closer and closer to the curb. Expecting the grimy polo shirt clad gentleman to change direction at the curb, the car continues down the street unabated. Unexpectedly, the grimy polo shirt clad gentleman continued mowing out to the middle of the street. I stop. He stopped. I look at him. He looked up at me. I wait for him to move. He looked for more grass to mow. He waives at me as if to say, “big of you not to run over me good fellow.” The grimy polo shirt clad gentleman did an about face and followed his mower back to greener pastures. I went home and ate a biggie classic single meal. I never did finish my sprite.

Sixty-five degrees.
I live in Florida. Florida is generally hot. Sub 70 degree temperatures have not been seen since March. It has been difficult to walk out the front door without instantly breaking out in a sweat for about eight months. Sixty-five almost feels cold. Sixty-five feels like sweater weather. Sixty-five gets the blood pumping and the adrenalin flowing. I am in heaven.
