But it really gets my goat (and this may be why me and the aforementioned 'someone' got riled by your post, Henry, although I'm sorry if I was out of line) when people feel the need to shit on this victory because it's such an emotional thing. There's a reason for the sackcloth and ashes -- have you seen that video of the ball going through Bill Buckner's legs? -- and this win marks the first breath of relief in a lifetime for several states' worth of sports fans. It's not about money or the sports industry, it's about 25 guys who, for the past 11 days, have been playing some amazing baseball, and to a lot of people, yeah, that's really important. The Sox aren't going to be "special" anymore, not like they used to, but dag nabbit, there's nothing wrong with being happy for a change.Important, yes, I agree that it's okay for Baseball and professional sports to be important to people. What pisses me off though, is when I see photos from flaming cars in Boston the day after they won game 7 against the Yankees. Destruction of anything,
