While I am not a baseball fanatic or a Red Sox fan, I would like to offer my hearty congratulations to the Boston Red Sox for winning the AL Championship, by beating the Yankees in an amazing comeback.
I can so identify with the feeling of elation that one's favorite team is on the cusp of winning their sports most important match. Growing up I watched the Packers in the 80's and heard about the glory years of the 60's. I never thought I would see them go the Super Bowl in my life time. Seeing them do it not once, but twice was an amazing feeling.
On an intellectual note, I know sports are all about theater, big business, and spectacle, but sometimes the theater is so good you have to watch.
Sports: October 2004 Archives
The Packers were in fine form yesterday winning 38-10 over the Detroit Lions. The Pack needed this game and not only did they win, but they did it convincingly. They all seemed to be playing from the same script and it showed in some great plays. Nice job guys.
Looks like the Packers at 1 and 3 are off to a very slow start this year. So far the last three games looked pretty shaky on both defense and offense. The have to find some rhythm soon or it's going to be a very long season.
I love the way Ahman Green runs the ball. It's always such a shock to me when he turns the ball over. I've seen it happen numerous times, but each time it's still a surprise. That's got to give a person a sick feeling in the pit of the stomach when it happens.
Best of luck guys.
Mike McKenzie is gone now. I really liked watching this guy play for a couple of years. He had a lot of spark and drive. Then he got the big contract and I guess it wasn't big enough and his game went down hill from there. This year he held out in spring training looking for more money and doesn't show up much after that. I don't have much patience for that.
Glad to see Mike McKenzie gone.
