Day off last night so Ryan and I sat and watched Game 6. I'm voting for the Red Sox all the way. Being a Cubs fan as far as I'm concerned the Astros and Cardinals can suck it. :) So I was pretty sure early in the week that my Baseball season was over. I'm usually a part-time Cardinal fan (despite the rivalry) but this year they just seem so smug about it all. "We knew we were this good." Whatever.
But a 15 inning game on Monday? And the Sox pull it out? No way! And last night Schilling was a god. I've always liked Schilling. He's one of the most down to earth guys. He was Rome about 2 months ago and he was a great guy. Really spreading it around his team and loving it. So nothing but love going Schilling's was last night. And what a set of innings. After words he said, "I was done in the fourth inning. But I had to keep pitching." What a stud. Four more innings of greatness. On jack, and he takes himself out giving the Sox's tired bullpen just two innings to pitch.
And that game was full of tension. Umpire meetings, RIOT POLICE. Yankee fans showing their true class. And those last few pitches had my heart pounding. Men on. *Thump Thump* The best thing was when he final swinging strike Foulke walks off the mound and you hear him say to teammates... "Well, I had to make it interesting," sounding seriously relieved.
Both these series have been the best thing to happen to Baseball in forever. If you don't like these series' you don't like baseball. Plain and simple.
Go Sox. And I'm only rooting for Houston because it's possible I'll have series tix. :) Otherwise either one could take it.
But GOOOOOOOOOO SOOOOOOOX!
In other good news, the unkown they've been hunting for forever, has been been found. What unkown? The new Superman. He's been cast and looks good. Look here. What's a step better? Sups 5 takes place after Superman 2. It's as if 3 and 4 never existed. Sups has disappeared after his battle with Zod. (Apparently only 6 years) and Superman Returns.
How awesome is that. Go Sups.

And now you're moment of Zen. Not really Zen but too interesting......

i have a HUGE fear that the cards will face the sox and get beat...and their curse will be on us. i couldn't sleep last night...i kept thinking about that.
funny, i never thought we were smug...it looks so different on the other side though.
