Quote of the Week
From Dave Barry's History of the Millennium (So Far):
October 2004: The Boston Red Sox, ending an eighty-six-year drought, defeat the St. Louis Cardinals to win the World Series [...] The Red Sox get into the series thanks to the fact that the New York Yankees -- who were leading the American League championships three games to none, and have all-stars at every position, not to mention a payroll larger than the gross national product of Sweden -- chose that particular time to execute the most spectacular choke in all of sports history, an unbelievable Gag-o-Rama, a noxious nosedive, a pathetic gut-check failure of such epic dimensions that every thinking human outside of the New York metropolitan area experienced a near-orgasmic level of happiness. But there is no need to rub it in.
