Great Josh Almighty!
A five-hit shutout by Josh Beckett, a slide of guile by Alex Gonzalez, and basically a complete meltdown by the Yankees. That's all it took for the Florida Marlins to be crowned World Series champions of 2003.
No need to say anything more. We have now entered the worse half of any given year, the half which doesn't have any baseball being played. I'm sad that I have to wait until spring. Go Giants, god dammit! I probably won't be posting here as often as I have been, at least until March or so. No sport is worth talking about nearly as much as baseball. I suppose the NCAA tournament will have me writing and writing. I'd talk about hockey but I must admit I don't know nearly as much as Darren Pang or Barry Melrose, and "Yay! The Avalanche won!" doesn't make for interesting reading. But I will pop in, if anyone cares. If you don't, don't worry. I do this for me.
