The most ridiculous game ever...

What else could possibly be said about a game in which the first three innings took two hours to play, and every batter was a potential game-breaker?

Sorry, Sox fans. And I mean that sincerely, Joe and The Patriot. I am very ambivalent about the "curse", such as it is. On one hand, I'd like to see the Red Sox get off the schnide. But at the same time, I fear that the Sox winning the World Series is the first sign of the Apocalypse.(Worse would be a Sox/Cubs World Series, because then one of them would *have* to win. Then it'd be the dead rising, the seas running red with blood, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria.)

But what can you say about a series in which Curt Schilling, arguably one of the best pitchers in baseball, tries to go out and win on one leg; in which Pedro Martinez pitches one of his best starts ever against the Yankees and loses to a journeyman who pitches lights out; and in which normal baseball is replaced by a game of Home Run Derby?

Well, you say it's another chapter in the greatest rivalry in sports history.

More later, maybe.
