Oct. 12th, 2004 04:39 pmIt's "just deserts." I had no freaking idea about that till this weekend. I bet that's wrong about 90% of the time in print. I always see it as "just desserts." But apparently it's so.
LOL. I was just typing a post that said I was rooting for Mussina to finish out the perfect game, and right then Bellhorn doubled. Anyone who has me on his side is in deep, deep trouble.
For the record, I hate the Yankees with a passion and have adopted the Red Sox as my second team. (The Pittsburgh Pirates are my first. Yes, they're still in the league.) In the early '80s, my second was the California (now Anaheim) Angels. Then the Fred Lynn/Doug DeCinces/Bobby Grich crowd left, and I didn't really have a second for a long time. When I lived in Virginia for a couple of years in the mid-'90s, we got the Orioles every night on cable, so I picked them up, which wasn't hard because they had my favorite player, Rafael Palmeiro, who I've followed since I saw him hit like a madman at MSU's Dudy Noble Field from 1983-85. Yes, Dudy Noble.
I kinda lost touch with the Orioles when I moved back to Mississippi and their owner, Peter Angelos, ran the team into the ground by signing people like Albert Belle and letting people like Palmeiro and Mussina to get away. Palmeiro's back with them now, but ehhhh.
Anyway, living in New Haven, I have to take sides in the Red Sox/Yankees rivalry. We're right in the middle ground here, and it's kinda fun hearing the arguments on the bus and at the office. It wasn't a hard decision, as I've ALWAYS hated the Yankees, even back in their Steve Kemp/Roy Smalley suckage days. But me and the Red Sox, man, that's a bad combination. Curse of the Bambino + support from a guy whose primary team hasn't won in 25 years = bad news.
Holy shit. It's 8-5 all of a sudden. Maybe I should keep rooting for the Yankees so the Sox will win.
