The Sports Guy
Issue date: 10/21/04 Section: Opinion
Hey there sportlings! What's sadder than watching that stupid Milli Vanilli "I got caught lip-syncing" dance that Ashlee Simpson pulled on Saturday Night Live? Watching those damned Red Sox win the series which should have been number 27 for the Yanks.
The Sports Guy could barely believe it. Just two weeks ago, they were down and out, nearly everyone wrote them off, and somehow they came back and went on one of the most unbelievable streaks that any of us will ever see.
It's not the win that bothers the Sports Guy so much, the Yankees have almost as many championships as there are days in a month! What has The Sports Guy sick to his stomach is the thought that this may be the start of a new era in baseball history.
No more "1918" chants in Yankee Stadium, no more curse talk, and the scariest thing is that now that the Sox are the defending champs, they are the team to beat, and The Sports Guy says that this was no fluke, and the Red Sox could very well be back in the same spot next year.
Is this the beginning of a new dynasty? Has the world begun to spin in the opposite direction? Imagine how many poor souls have lived and died without seeing a Red Sox World Series Championship.
As much as it hurts sportlings, you should savor the moment, it was history being written before our own eyes. Besides, The Sports Guy says we may see a sweep for Massachusetts this year: the Patriots, the Sox, maybe Kerry?
But enough about that, a stopped clock is right at least twice a day; why do you think it took 87 years? And they can toot their trumpets all they want, because they still have a long way to go to match the legacy of the mighty Yankees.
With the end of the Fall Classic comes the beginning of the Red Hawks' post-season. Three teams have advanced to the tournament thus far, but The Sports Guy isn't sure that there will still be three by this time next week.
The men's soccer team, led by Ryan Morgan (one of the top scorers in the New Jersey Athletic Conference) and Head Coach Brian Sentowski, have locked up the No. 4 seed. Being that they began the season 10 - 1 - 1, The Sports Guy says if it weren't for the huge gap between the teams that are good and the teams that suck, the Red Hawks may have been able to finish with a higher seed.
