Miraculous Red Sox Defeat the Evil Empire, Make Baseball History

The Boston Red Sox embarrassed the New York Yankees tonight in a 10-3 victory that caps a history-making comeback to win 4 straight games in the ALCS after losing the first three. As the Boston Globe notes, "BELIEVE!" The Red Sox are now heading to the World Series. The Yankees? The dustbin of history.

Even more satisfying than this well deserved victory is the total implosion of the New York Yankees, the most overpaid and unfairly stacked team in the history of professional sports in the US. It is particularly rewarding to see the dejected looks on the player's faces as the impossible happened. I mean, after all, it's New York, right? They just have to win. They did paid for it after all.

Not this time.

If Major League Baseball has any balls-–and it doesn't-–then it will reform the game so that unfair dynasties like the Yankees can never happen again. It's nice to know that, once in a while, the right team wins.

Go Sox. The greatest comeback in baseball history--no, in sports history--is now complete.
