Blogger's Note: I'm about to totally geek out...
Oh it's like a gift from heaven...the New York Yankees have been eliminated from the playoffs by the Cleveland Indians.
This is totally effing amazing! I heard this morning as I was putting on my face cream that "the Cleveland Indians join the Red Sox in Boston for game 1 of the ALCS on Friday." Now, since it was morning I honestly didn't put two and two together. I was just kind of like, "Oh...cool."
It didn't hit me until later when I walked out of Brooks. (I stopped there before work to look for a nail polish. They didn't have it.) I hopped into my car and was like, "Holy SHIT!!!!!!!!!!" Then did some fist pumping and booty shaking and high-fiving of myself. The on-lookers got a good show. Then I peeled out of the parking lot.
So my beloved Red Sox along with Jason Varitek's thighs, who already SHUT OUT the LA Angels (puh-leeeeez, baseball on the left coast.....?) will face the Tribe to take the pennant and go onto the World Series. And thank God for it. I mean I love some "A Rod Sucks and Jeter Swallows" as much as the next person but it's too much. I for one, was not looking forward to the Sox/Spanks match up had the Yankees actually been able to get their bats going against the Indians.
And I really couldn't deal with yet another year of Joe Buck and Tim McCarver jerking each other off with pin stripped towels in the Fox Sports booth to A Rod's picture. Just couldn't do it.
So GO RED SOX!!! Trample the Tribe!!! Bring it home for Boston Sports!! The Patriots are already 5-0. Show me that trophy!!!1

*WOOT!*
