What Curse?
Posted under How I See It by Mike
I don’t want to gloat, and yes Matt,it is very hard not to rub it in, but what curse? Since October of 1986 the Boston Red Sox have been the thorn in the side of my California, Anaheim, Los Angeles Angels.
For those who missed it, or just don’t give a damn because let’s face it, its football and or hockey season, here is the short breakdown:
Los Angeles trailed 5-1 early, was behind 5-2 after seven innings and still down 6-4 when Papelbon retired the first two batters of the ninth. Erick Aybar singled on a two-strike pitch, Chone Figgins walked and Bobby Abreu singled in one run – the first postseason run Papelbon had allowed in 27 innings. After Hunter was walked intentionally, Guerrero, who had one RBI in his previous 19 postseason games, singled sharply to center on the first pitch as Figgins and Abreu raced home. Brian Fuentes pitched a perfect ninth as Dustin Pedroia popped it up to Aybar for the final out. The Angels rallied past Boston 7-6 in Game 3 Sunday, advancing to the AL championship series with their first postseason sweep in franchise history.
So today I stand a happy man. The proverbial monkey (not rally monkey!) is off our back. I have four days before the Angels go against the Yanks. And I know Matt and all his BoSox fans are whispering…..
” A-Rod can’t layoff the high hard fastball….”
Glad someone lives in a town with a winning team.

Kandee´s last blog ..I almost waivered…
I am officially not speaking to you or Kandee Mike, I’m sorry. I will say that the Angels need to eat the Yankmes for breakfast and give Mike Scocia a title for christ sakes. I’d love to see a Freeway series, because that’s about the only way I’m watchin it.
Good thing Football season’s started.
Truthfully, as much as I wanted it, I knew you were going to take it. They just didn’t have it this year. That Triple by Aybar on Saturday was the straw.
Good Luck Mike.

I have no idea what you’re talking about, but it sounds like whatever it is you’re pleased about it, so Yay for you!

Congrats on killing the Sox. I don’t like them or the Yankees at all. My Cardinals did not even show up for the post season. Holliday missing the fly ball with two outs in the ninth of game 2 was devastating. I am finally starting to get over it.
