"I don't believe what I just saw!"

Thanks to the immortal Jack Buck for the title of this post. I am, of course, referring to the dramatic comeback in the ALCS by the Boston Red Sox, who climbed out of an 0-3 hole to beat the hated Yankees in Game 7 on their own turf. Just seeing all the speechless Yankees fans makes me want to cry for joy.

Although I don't feel sorry for most of the team, one Yankee I do feel sorry for is Kenny Lofton. This guy has had some bad postseason luck as of late. The last 3 years he has been mere outs away from one championship (2002 with the Giants) and two World Series appearances (2003 with the Cubs and this year with the Yankees). What's the guy got to do to get a break around here? I mean, come on, he signed on with the Yankees thinking something like this could never happen to the Bronx Bombers. I guess Big Stein will have no choice now but to trade him away for fear that they will choke again next year. (Hey, I hear the Cardinals are interested!)

Anyway, getting off of baseball for a moment, I just want to say that I'm feeling both good and bad at the same time. If you're reading this you probably already know why I feel good (except for my little sis because I forgot to call her). As far as why I feel bad, well let's just say that Tom Petty was right when he said that waiting is the hardest part.
