So baseball season is over.  Today begins the long, cold winter of the off season.  Spring training is 17 weeks away.

I don’t mind that the Phillies won.  I’m happy for my friends the Matticks - real Phillies fans - who have waited a very long time to celebrate something related to baseball. And I’m glad that Chase Utley gets a World Series ring.  I’ve followed his career pretty closely since back when he was in the minor leagues.  (He once threw me a baseball when we were at a Spring Training game in Tampa.)

I was pulling for the Rays in the series, and I think that might have been what brought them down.  Follow this:

• I pulled for the Yankees in the regular season.  They lost.
• I pulled for the Cubs in the NLDS.  They lost.
• I pulled for the Dodgers in the NLCS.  They lost.
• I pulled for the Rays in the World Series.  They lost.

So I guess it’s my fault (at least in part) that the Rays lost the series.  Sorry, Tampa, I’ll pull for the other team next time.
