Most Awesome Red Sox Quote of the Year
Well, enough baseball for now, at least until Spring Training. Not here at LLamabutcher Manor, where Mr. Skinny (age 8) is getting Stratomatic for Christmas (with old time team cards in his and my stockings---and by old time teams I mean the 86 Sox and Mets, 75 Sox and Reds, the 46 Sox and the 32 Yankees).
But I'll leave you with this one quote from the Sox rally today in Boston. I'm doing this as a favor to LB Buddy, and to absolutely make our Yankees-nemesis in Toledo have his head explode like the Death Star in SW:IV. From a Sox fan who was describing the reaction of his seven year old son:
"He doesn't understand," Spurr said. "He thinks they win it every couple of years now. I mean, the Yankees have never won in his lifetime."Posted by Steve-O at October 30, 2007 06:44 PM | TrackBack
Strat-o-matic rocks. I played it for many, many hours growing up. Double switches, guarding the line, pitching around hitters -- you can't learn all that fine inside lore playing a computer game. Get him the '67 Sox and Cards, too. F'ing Bob Gibson. F'ing damn near unhittable.
As for the curse of the Bambino, well, I guess New York is beginning to figure out that it is transitive . . . of course, when they let A-Rod walk, that will seal it as sure as any Haitian blood curse.
My husband played Strat-o-matic as a kid and now he is teaching the older two boys. They each have multiple teams and it has completely taken over the dining room table. The funniest part is that they sing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" during the seventh inning stretch. My only contribution is to print out the sheets.

And the head is intact. That's what duct tape is for.

It's going to be a blast. We'll probably wind up building stadiums out of toothpicks and popsicle sticks and cardboard for the teams.
