I want the Rays to win

But I fear history and post-season experience favors the Red Sox.

Let's goooo Rays!

because I’d like to actually watch the Series, and if the Sox are in it I’m not.

I will watch no matter who is in it

just because I like baseball. Personally I would like to see the AL win it because I’m a AL fan.

If it weren't the Sox

I would. I watched it last year. I am just sick and tired of the commentary being all about Boston, and no one else gets any credit, they’re just a stumbling block for the Sox.

yeah

but they had a 7-0 lead with two outs in the 7th inning in a clinching game. and its almost unheard of for the team with homefield advantage to blow a 3-1 lead. i agree the yankees a couple years ago is worse, but this is extremely bad.

Not anymore

They converted a ton of stuff down there to lofts, most of the old clubs are closed now. Cops all over the place; cars, bikes, foot patrol. I hadn’t been there in years, but went last weekend and had a blast. Damn, I hadn’t been out in forever.

Oh, lower Deep Ellum is toast though.

Kinsler will pick it up again

He’ll be fine. I have an old co-worker who roomed with Kinsler at college (when Kinsler went to community college). He said he works incredibly hard. I think Kinsler might come back down to earth but he’ll keep his quick bat and good approach.
