No more waiting

Wait until next year.

Being a Red Sox fan for some 60-plus years, I’ve heard that same old story of wait until next year. Well, my friends, I now know there won’t be a next year, at least in my lifetime. When a team with two 20-game winners and only the best hitters in either league can’t even make the playoffs, there is something really wrong with the picture.

I have always liked to watch my favorite team on TV for many years and from now on baseball won’t be one of them. I’ll watch football and basketball like the Patriots and Celtics. At least you know these two have a chance since they both have won championships, and no matter how good a fan you are, everyone wants to see their team win.

Whoever wins the World Series, I could care less, I won’t be watching.
