The Red Sox are World Series champs! But you wouldn't know it. They swept the Colorado Rockies to win their second World Series in three years! But that's not important. Apparently the only important news on the days following the Red Sox victory is about, what else, the New York Yankees. Heaven forbid that some people may have missed the game on Sunday night, because they would not have been able to see news coverage the day after. The headliner: Alex Rodriguez opting out of his contract with the Yankees. And his joke of an agent decided to announce this news in the eighth inning of the World Series, right before the Red Sox were looking to win the game and the Series! Let's not discuss how every one of the Red Sox starting pitchers got the win in each of the four games of the Series, or how the entire lineup including the rookies hit better than the usual power hitters, or even that they swept to make their record in the last two World Series 8-0. Nah, A-Rod's leaving of the Yankees is much more important. He's one of the most horrible post-season players in the game, yet he will be asking for 30 million dollars a year for whatever team wants to suffer his membership. No matter what we do, the Yankees are like cockroaches. They still seem to find their way into the World Series.
By the way, congrats to Eric Gagne for his World Series ring! He deserves it!
