As it turns out, Alan Schwarz hit the nail on the head when asked to predict what would happen in the ALCS:
I will offer you the same prediction that Clubber Lang had for his first match up with Rocky: “PAIN.”
Can you feel me? No? Well, just axe Jermone from the Bronx.
I’m currently residing in the bitter’n’hell cut-out bin of The Sore Loser Record Shop. There is a World Serious going on and I have watched portions of both games. The Sox are playing sloppy defensively but it hasn’t mattered much because their hitters are mashing St. Louie’s pitching. There are no Yankee articles in the papers today. The winter is upon us and though I felt exhausted at the end of ALCS, dag, I just didn’t feel ready for it to end. Not like this anyhow. But it is what it is. I just don’t have to be happy about it. Seriously.
