Okay, I admit that I picked and backed the wrong horse in this multi-billion dollar (pennant) race. I rooted for the um, the wrong team, the Cleveland Indians. I had given them my vote to win. Only, now that they lost, life is just crazy.
The media, I mean, the bookies got it all wrong, didn't they? Now, I don't know what to expect and who to trust. How will my life personally change? Will the rich continue to get richer or will there be a baseball mitt under everyone's tree at Christmas? I seriously doubt it. I'll be lucky to have some stale popcorn to decorate my Charlie Brown tree, the only tree I can now afford to buy.
'Poor me. Woe is me.'
"Batter up! Play ball or not, it's still your choice, kind of, not really, well, not at all."
I always knew there were lots of stupid people in the world but I didn't know how many stupid people lived in my country until...um, the Cubs won.
'Yeah, that's it. This is all about the Cubs.'
I can't believe they parked all those dump trunks filled with sand around Arena Stadium. Fearing riots, they may have been more of a chance for riots had the other team won, if you know what I mean.
Now, with everything on the side of, um, Chicago, the minor league, if you know what I mean, the farm league, if you know what I mean, and the baseball commissioner, guess who, what chance do the rest of us have? The odds and the cards are stacked against us.
I heard there were already people planning to leave the country with some moving to Canada. Only God knows what will happened next year, over the next four years, and possibly eight years...um, when it comes to baseball.
I read Putin called Joe Maddon to congratulate him. Putin? Seriously? He was happy that he won. I guess they have become friends. I wonder if Joe will be visiting Russia any time soon. Now I wonder if Russia had anything to do with fixing the World Series in the way of the Chicago Black Sox scandal. Where's Pete Rose when you need him?
As much as he is known for his business savvy, sorry, I meant, baseball savvy, he is known for his young, beautiful wife, Melania, sorry, I meant to write his young, beautiful wife, Jaye, of course. Being that they're both the same age, 45-years-old, I always get them confused.
For what it's worth, God bless America because America will never be the same for your children and for your grandchildren because of, um, America's pastime...baseball.
'Oh, yeah. With Obama a basketball fan, baseball has permanently ruined this country.'
"Yeah, that's it. Baseball has not been good to me. Baseball now threatens to ruin my life. I just can't wait to watch the next Saturday Night Live, that is, if it's still allowed to broadcast to watch what they have to say about Maddon, Putin, and baseball."
George Orwell must be rolling over in his grave. For sure, he never would have expected the, um, Cubs to win. Maybe it's time for Comey to investigate them too.
