Epic Saga

"That place... is strong with the dark side of the Force. A domain of evil it is. In you must go."
--Yoda, The Empire Strikes Back

I suppose "that place" could refer to Yankee Stadium, and in the Red Sox went last night, facing their demons and attempting to ride Curt Schilling to a lead in the ALCS. Unfortunately for the Sox (though I don't count myself among their "nation"), Mike Mussina was ridiculous for six-plus innings, giving rise to "MOOOOOOSE" cheers from the Yankee faithful throughout his dominant performance.
(Quick sidenote: I think every franchise in sports needs a player whose name features that long "oooo" sound--Luuuuuuuuuuc Robitaille (Kings) and Luuuuuuuuuuke Walton (Lakers) easily fit the bill here in So Cal. Dodger fans had to stretch for Rauuuuuuuul Mondesi, but I guess it worked. Other notables: Cooooooooop and Hruuuuuuudey back in the Forum days. Moooooooose definitely works for those Yankee fans).
This will now be the shortest blog I've posted in my tenure here, but I work a lot, so I'm not the least bit ashamed. More on the Yankees and Red Sox on Monday.
