Foxxx - aargh!
Only five minutes into the World Series broadcast last night - and I was ready to put in the earplugs. Buck and McCarver are sssoo iritating. They never shut up - it's a constant wall of chatter, most of it nonsensical. And talk about homers - of course, considering that both have a history with the Cardinals, not surprising. Man, it makes me long for DO and RemDawg...
What did surprise me was that this was the first World Series game won by St Louis since 1987! That's pretty amazing.
This afternoon, surfing the channels, I came across an old HBO special, "Reversing the Curse of the Bambino." It was originally done prior to 2004, all about the supposed curse of Babe Ruth. (I never believed in it - it was just a way for Dan Shaughnessy to sell some books). This was the revision they did shortly after the Sox won the WS - and it was fantastic. They interview a core group of fans throughout - but the best part is when they discuss the '04 season and it's wonderful results. None of the interviewees can speak at a certain point - it's just raw emotion written on their faces. I was boo-hooing myself!
And if you missed "Lost" - or aren't a fan (shame on you), here's the great scene from two weeks ago. One of the Others is trying to convince our hero Jack that they have contact with the outside world and tells him what news he's been missing since they've been on the island. Bush has been reelected, Christopher Reeve has died, and the RS won the World Series. Jack greets the last with disbelieving laughter, scoffing at the mere notion. So the Other shows Jack the video of the final out - Jack's reaction is simply perfect. Enjoy!

That's my favorite moment of that program. Each one stops, looks away, their eyes get glossy... and then I start crying and can't see anything. ^_~
