not so fast

you might have spoken too soon but at least you were right in the end will. The Rays deserved to win, didn't they? I'm not really sure how I feel about them taking down a world series though. Don't get me wrong, it’s not like they don't deserve it. But it seems like an awful lot has fallen into place for them. They are/have been the best team in the league over the whole season. But they've hardly had to contend with a typical New York team, or a legitimate threat out of the central. And the Angels (and the rest of the west) have been predictably soft in the past few offseasons.

If TB wins, (knock,knock) what does that mean to an O's fan. It’s a slap in the face isn't it? Sure it could be a "blueprint for success" or any other one of those token BS sayings that Buster Olney & co. love to throw out there, but at the end of the day, it's more demoralizing than anything to those who bleed Orange & Black.

The Rays system was loaded, it was no secret, and their FO had been preaching patience to their fans, because their waiting would pay off one of these years. Who knew it would be this soon. 2008, shit. They only started playing when, 10 years ago? Hey this wasn't that hard, was it? What O's fans know all too well, is that we are nowhere near making a run like this from out of the blue. Nor are we even 3 years from it. And the worst part is...we've just had, by far, the best series of offseason moves in recent memory. UGH...

oh, and be sure to not bet on any NY/NJ teams for your streak. The jets/rangers have singlehandedly thwarted me at least four times in the past 2 weeks. I'm still stuck on 3.
