So the Red Sox pulled it off last night and go to face the Yankees for the AL Championship.
I'm personally hoping for a Rex Sox/Cubs World Series, which would of course be a sign of impending apocalypse. They'd get to the 7th game tied, tie it all the way through to the 9th inning, and then Nomar Garciaperra will belt the ball all the way into the stands where it will hit the Four Horsemen in the head, angering Pestilence, who will then wipe out civilization as we know it. The Four Horsemen being in Fenway because of course hell had already froze over.
Word is, Cubs are drafting Jesus to play centerfield in game 7, since the odds of him being on Earth at that point, are about the same as both the Cubs and the Red Sox both being in the World Series at the same time.
That's right, go Sox. They should be able to handle the NY Spankees, and the Cubs should take out the Marlins within 5 games. So obviously, i'm also rooting for a Red Sox-Cubs World Series. Yes, it is a long shot for the teams to make it that far...but, they're a lot closer now than they have been in a long time. However, it is not realistic that the 4 Horsemen would make it to Fenway...how the hell are they going to get around the Big Dig?!
I think the Four Horsemen can fly, so the Big Dig shouldn't be a problem for them. Of course, I'd be worried for them trying to navigate around town.
"Well head to the end of this street, and make a left. It says one way, but yah only going two blahcks, and turn right on the next street. Drive up the berm and follow the signs for Roxburrah Couht. Shouldn't be more than 5 minutes."
Mass. is the only place I know where people think it's completely natural to drive 100 mph on the berm in rush hour while traffic's trying cross the berm from the on-ramp to merge.
