And even some good baseball.

Business as usual at the office, the instagrams of even the most obnoxious bostonians I know were fairly...nonexistent. It's just not that special when it happens three times in ten years. Yawn. <br /><br /><br />LBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13660822734579721308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301407940699570948.post-39515159523357315932013-10-31T10:37:01.697-07:002013-10-31T10:37:01.697-07:00Thank you.Thank you.Civic Centerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12362422142667230626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301407940699570948.post-12927221017961997512013-10-31T10:31:43.074-07:002013-10-31T10:31:43.074-07:00I actually don't think the same bullshit artic...I actually don't think the same bullshit article would have been written if the Cardinals or Detroit won.

It really was breathlessly spun as though they hadn't won even a division series in 95 years. FINALLY, guys. FINALLY.<br /><br />That said, if the Cardinals won, or Detroit, or Pittsburgh, or whoever, the same bullshit article would have been penned by someone.
