There’s only one October, and it’s over

Life as a New England sports fan must be pretty damn good right now. They have a world champion in baseball and a football team that could almost be charged with murdering other teams, they’re that good.

Congrats, Boston, on your seventh title. And congrats to Mike Lowell on his MVP award — he’s truly deserving. He killed teams in the postseason — not just the World Series — with his timely hitting.

On to football season, full-time…and finally, regular sleep. These postseason games were on way too late at night. The World Series — hell, a vast majority of the postseason — was completely inaccessible to children under 16. I know it’s ratings pressure, but they have to fix this. It just seems wrong that a kid can’t watch his or her heroes win the World Series. I dunno, it just seems wrong to keep our national pastime (still is, right?) out of the reach of those who will carry it forward to the next generation.

    Yeah, I saw a thing on ESPN the other day that said the Patriots have broken or tied a record of 331 points in the first 8 games. That’s downright shocking.

    And yeah, I’ll have to agree with the post-season being on waay too late. I remember back in the early 90′s when the Braves were in the WS, that game started during daylight and was done, even in extra innings, before 10pm.
