You mean that you haven't done that already? 

By the way, those dogs are adorable!

I'm so bummed I might have to break into the Halloween candy 2 days early!

I'll say here what I said at work: "Congratulations to the Red Sox on winning the World Series.  Now don't talk to me about it again today; it's already Monday, which is bad enough."

That's good!

There are 2 Things that I'd like to post.  One is a partial post about the World Series from the Washington Post today!  Gets my sentiments.  Followed by a new comic I found on the Cagel Website:

One Nation, Indefensible

It is Halloween and These Things Scare Me:

It's not America, it's Red Sox Nation. Is it too late to call our old, tyrannical friends at the British Empire and ask back in? For many of us cannot understand how one night we all went to sleep in the United States and the next day we awakened in Red Sox Nation.
Like a bad flu, Red Sox fans are everywhere and spreading.

I would rather be stuck in a grain elevator with Kid Rock and Tommy Lee than in a sports bar with Stephen King and Doris Kearns Goodwin.
I don't even go to the supermarket anymore for fear of being accosted near frozen foods by a Red Sox fan. And I live in Los Angeles.
When they whined about The Curse of the Bambino, Red Sox fans were self-pitying but somewhat lovable. These days, they are just cocky and obnoxious.
Now I know why Shelley Long left "Cheers."

Thanks for the reminder!  Was only one base stolen the entire series?  I doubt I'll be able to take advantage as the Taco Bell where I work (L'Enfant Plaza) closed a few years ago. I guess the rents were too high; it certainly wasn't due to a lack of business because there was always a line out the door for basically mediocre fare.

I just saw a news story about a store in New England that was giving out free sofas if Boston won the World Series. Fortunately, the owner took out insurance to cover the costs.

Was only one base stolen the entire series? 

That probably explains why both of those teams were there as stealing bases is the most overrated element of baseball. It was nice to see a team win the WS that was truly built by a guy who understands what makes a good team. Theo Epstein understands what works and what doesn't, and Francona seems to carry out the plan on the field like a robot. Billy Beane would be proud.
