perfidy

I'm hoping for the Cubs to play the Sox in the series. A more angst-ridden, hopeless confrontation could not be imagined. The only question is, which team does one cheer for? I think I shall wish for the Cubs to win, so that Pejman will link us, and to pay back Johno for the OSU cracks.

While the Cubs fans have seemingly adjusted to defeat after almost a hundred years, the Sox fans stubbornly cling to the idea that they can win, despite all the evidence to the contrary. They make Jesuitical contortions coming up with bizarre theories for their haplessness - "It's a curse," or "Buckner was a Yankee double agent" or whatever. I think it will be more interesting to watch Red Sox fans suffer.

Go Cubs!
