manny, i think i'll miss you least of all

i'm still delirious with joy over the red sox' loss to the white sox. not just because i think ozzie guillen is adorable or because el duque has the finest ass in the major league (seriously), but because i hate the red sox, their fans, and the fact that they beat my yankees last year and have since displayed the kind of smug, loudmouth behavior that yankee fans used to have the monopoly on. (hey, you can take away our world championship, but you can't steal our arrogance and get away with it.)

anyway, from the moment pedro "crazy eyes" martinez threw don zimmer to the ground in july '04, and varitek starting picking fights with a-rod (second finest ass in baseball), seeing the red sox lose became as important as seeing the yankees win. and so, even though the yanks are not yet in the ALCS, and they could conceivably still be eliminated, i'm still feeling pretty damn victorious.

and i know it takes a real asshole to kick a team while they're down, but....



p.s. johnny damon, you're the only one i don't hate. come to the dark side.
