Baseball.
I am a stranger in an unholy land. This is my first playoff season without my beloved Yankees. I won't skip school to watch the game, sit in bars on weeknights drinking pitchers with my dad, or have that feeling of nervous excitement at every pitch, every out. Is it October? How can it be. And where is Jeter? My Mr. October, Mr. November.
I am still paying attention, of course. My second favorite team, those lovable Cubs just might make it this year. And I'm rooting for them, even though it would be nice to see Torre's Dodgers win it all. A kind of fuck you Steinbrenner.
I hope the Cubs win it all, but I'll settle for anyone as long as it isn't Boston. Fucking Red Sox.

I can't believe I'm rooting for the Cubs, but here I am.
And wow, what language about the Red Sox! You are a passionate Yank.
Foul language and hating Boston are requirements of all Yankees fans.
