The World Series Is Over
Good.
Because while I'm glad that
the White Sox won, and I'm glad that their long drought is over, let's face it: This World Series was
boring.
While the White Sox played well when they had to—how about those two plays by Juan Oribe in the bottom of the ninth? Terrific.—the Astros choked. They got something like five hits in their last 60 at bats. And closer Brad Lidge is no Mariano Rivera. He singlehandedly lost three post-season games for the 'stros.
Moreover, can we all just admit one thing: The World Series is more fun when the Yankees are in it.
I know, I'm partisan. But judging from the ratings, the rest of the country would seem to agree....
