The Nova of Sports

Friday, October 28, 2005

This is it. Baseball is over. The polar opposite of the Black Hole of Sports. Next 5 months, I officially dub thee "The Nova of Sports."

I was going to call it The Super-Nova of sports except that we are still stuck with the lamest sport of all -- golf. For some ungodly reason, networks feel the urge to televise golf. All year long. It's a plague upon our society every weekend. The worst part is, it isn't even athletic! That's right, I'm saying Tiger Woods isn't an athlete. Mind you, I couldn't do what he does on the golf course. But I bet he can't play the euphonium as well as I do. And my horn weighs about as much as his golf bag. So does that make me an athlete? No. Tiger Woods -- not an athlete.

But the good thing is, the baseball season is officially over and we won't have to hear anything about it until Spring Training starts up in a month. God bless the off-season. Now we can get on with real sports like football, basketball and hockey (I know, I know, but it still beats golf). Although it was fun taunting Lizett the other night in Game 3. I believe the conversation went something like this:

Goat: "I hope the Sox win."

Lizett: "I hope you die."

Ahh, can you feel the love? Good times, good times.

Speaking of rooting against other people's teams, it's a lot harder rooting against BC anymore. My roommate Matthias is a BC alum and has got to be the nicest guy in the world. Every time my anger rises about BC (rising!), I think of Matthias and can't be angry anymore. Damn you, Matthias, and your niceness!
