I Feel So Much Better

Whew. I'm not gonna lie, this is probably the best thing that could have happened outside of the Sox going all the way. The Yankees were eliminated from the 2006 playoffs by the upstart Detroit Tigers, the same Tigers that were swept last weekend by those pesky Royals. Now, I realize this is a somewhat immature stance to take, reveling in the misery of my enemies, but hey, when a team is stacked with 3 future Hall of Famers and an All-Star at every position and they don't procede past the first round of the playoffs, it's enjoyable. We spent all season wishing in our heart of hearts we had a lineup something like the one the Bombers pushed out to the field, and now the big boys are riding the pine on the sideline like the rest of us.

Go Cardinals.
