Gone East

Yawn.

Michael Holley, Boston Globe:

Do you feel any guilt over this? Just a little bit? I do. This is the World Series, featuring the two best teams in baseball, and I don't love it nor hate it. I don't dream about it or argue over it. It's just there, a neutral blob jammed between a couple palm trees.

It's true for me. I can muster almost no enthusiasm for this series. I've watched about a total of 2 innings of the first two games.

Unlike Holley, I do feel that neither team is worthy. I'm gonna be disappointed no matter who wins. I want the Yanks to lose, but the idea of the Marlins being crowned the best team in baseball is depressing to me.

I acknowledge that part of this is a reaction from our Red Sox getting eliminated. But I really think that I wouldn't have tuned out if the Cubs had made it in. Then there'd be a worthy team to root for.

Go Marlins? No, that just doesn't work for me. Too bad. Maybe next year.
