Hey, just saw this ad in an Idaho newspaper;
Cabin for sale.
Isolated and remote, miles from civilization.
Wonderful place to “get away from it all”
Built in 1986, maintained by one owner.
Selling cheap because I’m packing up and moving home.
Don’t let this opportunity slip through your legs.
If interested, call:
Bill Buckner, 555-1212
Seriously, congratulations to the true Red Sox fans. The ones who stuck it out and never gave up. Some people I know have been waiting all their lives for this and now they have it.
Now go do that 26 more times!
What will become of the Red Sox Nation?
What do they have to look forward to?
Nothing.
The Red Sox were an enigma because they were the loveable losers. Every year that they came close, something dramatic choked the life out of them. It was part of the fun of watching the Sox. Waiting to see what was going to happen to them. Now that they’ve won, they’re not worth watching anymore. They are no longer special. They’re just another ball club with a lousy record. There’s nothing to look forward to anymore. Every amature writer out there knows that you NEVER let the ‘bumbling idiot’ fall out of character. You lose your audience!
If they win another World Series now, it really wouldn’t be that notable.
So, congratulations on shooting yourselves in the foot. You have taken away the only thing that made you interesting. The curse.
Babe Ruth has forgiven you and Bill Buckner can come home but me…?
I’ll just forget you.
