For the first time in many, many years both of my home town football teams are having lousy seasons.
As of this post, the once glorious Miami Dolphins are winless at 0-6.
And the five time National Champion Miami Hurricanes are 4-3, but I don't expect them to win more than a game or two out of the remaining five. That would give them their worst record since the Carter administration. (Another loser.)
All I can say is, thank goodness for the baseball playoffs!
The Colorado Rockies just clinched their first trip to the Fall Classic by sweeping the Arizona nine. The Rockies have won 21 out of their last 22 games including the play offs, an incredible achievement.
And the Cleveland Indians, the team of choice for Queen Felicia's Ohio kin have the Red Stockings right where they want them with a 2-1 series lead.
They have exposed the Boston pitching staff to the fact that once you get past Josh Beckett, there really ain't much pitching there. He can't pitch every night, as good as he is.
I always look forward to the World Series, regardless of which teams make it.
This year's contest should prove to be extremely interesting and competitive.
So does one pull for a seemingly unbeatable team of destiny from Denver, or for the woeful Cleveland fans who haven't won a championship in any sport since LBJ was president?
The running back on that Champion Browns team was one Jim Brown.
And yes, I am old enough to remember watching that NFL Championship game.
Should be a great Series, I have it going 7 games for the first time in some years.
If Cleveland indeed wins the ALCS, I have them winning it all due to their home town edge.
It could be the first Series where snow is a factor in both cities.
"Snow in baseball, there isn't any snow in baseball!"
There may be this year, Sports Fans!
One favor though, could someone please get that guy in the cheap seats at "The Jake" to lose that dadgum drum!
I haven't seen anything that irritating since the Atlanta Brave/FSU Seminole chop!
