GODDAMN!!

For a sport that supposed to be the apple pie of Americana, it sure stings
to watch the Cubs and Sox get pinched out once again. Our country is
supposed to stand for the rights of the little guy, the Reaganesque idea
that 'everyone can grow up to be a millionaire', the level playing field
where hard work and pureness of spirit pay off. But being a new englander,
and living in the shadow of the obtuse Great Satan with (as Forty put so
eloquently) its thuggish fans and overpaid prima donnas (and not just in
baseball), it is just abso****inglutely unfair and unamerican to put the
good people of the northeast through the yearly torture of building up their
hopes, filling them with small town pride and honor, then ripping their
hearts out with those filthy hands and stomping on them, laughing with those
stupid new york accents and spewing their disgusting sense of 'I got it all
and I want more' into the humble, pure country air of New England.

Argh. Unless you grew up in upper right hand corner, you have no idea of the
reality of how this affects your life each year, to see the hated, fat cat,
overpampered, flabby-armed new yorkers get their selfish, perverse little
way, once agian, in one more way at the expense of everyone around them. I
don't *care* who got the most runs....once again, the Bosox DESERVED to win.
This is just....so.....wrong!!
