Unbelievable, Part 2

It was selfish of me to watch the game tonight. I know it was. I know that as soon as I take an interest in a team, it’s as good as giving them the kiss of death. Believe me, if I could bring myself to ever cheer for the Ys or the Red Sox, I would out of love for the Orioles, but some obstacles are just too big to overcome, and I, just too selfish.

I really cannot believe the outcome of tonight’s game. Really, that was not supposed to happen. The Rays had first all season. This is their pennant.

There was a time when I complained about fans throwing home run balls back onto the field. Tonight I realized that I don’t have any principles. I was like, “Yeah, that’s right” when whatshisRedSoxface hit a home run and it ended up back on the grass a minute later. “We reject your home run. Take it back.” Everything in life, as it turns out, is relative and situational.

After the game ended, the camera panned to a woman in the stands sitting all by herself crying. Haven’t all six of we Orioles fans been there. I am confident that the Rays will end up on top. If they don’t, I may be weeping right alongside that woman, not just out of empathy for the Rays, but for us, for the new level of obnoxious we’ll have to tolerate from the Sox fans next season. I cannot bear to think of it. I cannot.

Where is Tonya Harding’s boyfriend or Wayward O’s bus when you need it?
