I am sitting here, keeping my fingers crossed that I will soon be watching the Mets play the Yankees. This is another one of those rare nights when, despite the fact that I live in the SF Bay Area, I have access to my team (the Mets) on national television. I am under no illusions: I realize the primary--if not only--reason I am receiving this treat is that the Mets are playing the Yankees, America's team!, the most popular franchise in all of sports! blah-di-blah-di-blah-di-blah I am so sick of all the Yankee SUCK-UPS in this country. . . .
Anyway, I plan to enjoy tonight's game regardless of whatever the outcome. Now I just have to hope that MLB network doesn't decide to cut away to Boston.

All right, also: Congratulations to LeBron James on his first championship. I still think he acted kind of like a jerk a couple of years ago--not so much for leaving Cleveland as for holding a primetime infotainment special to make the announcement. Still seems like an unnecessarily sadistic thing to have done to his hometown team. But, whatever: He's clearly the best player in the game right now, so, good for him. But just wait 'til next year! Knicks 2013!
A boy can dream, right?
