Dear Patron Saint of October Baseball (whatever your name is):
Whew! These LCS's sure have been something to watch! I'm a believer, as you well know, and the past two days sure have brought a smile to my baseball lovin heart.
As a small personal request before I leave the country in four days - could we go ahead and arrange the 'greatest comeback in sports history'? Sure doesn't look like Boston wants to give up anytime soon from where I sit, so if you would - just give the green light for games six and seven, ok? America - in it's current political unrest - sure could use a dose of heart and soul, don't you think? As for the NLCS - we both know Houston deserves the glory there. However, I'll leave that one in your more than capable hands.
Thank you, and I continue to watch in enjoyment and anticipation.
Yours Truly,
Abs
I was disappointed last night to find that Game 6 of the ALCS was not being aired, much to my chagrin.
It's always much more fun to WATCH the Yankees choke than to follow Yahoo's GameTracker.
And as for the Astros... The Marlins upset the Braves in 1997 and went on to win the Series, maybe the Astros will follow their footsteps.
Although if it's a Red Sox/Astros series, I'll have to cheer on the Sox.

Posted by: Abby at October 20, 2004 02:02 PMI was exhausted by the 7th inning last night, so I just asked my husband to tell me who won when he came to bed. A little while later I heard him whisper, "Red Sox won," and a smile cracked on my face. I don't dislike the Yankees by any means (I was a New Yorker for a while, for God's sakes), but I am happy to see the Red Sox get some lovin'.
