So that World Series. Not so great. Anyway, I'm intrigued by how many people are angry at A-Rod for opting out of his contract on the same day the Red Sox won the World Series. Is that some sort of a surprise to people? It seems Boras wanted him to do it before the season officially ended, so there you go. Now he can go sign a contract worth the GDP of Bangladesh. And Boston might be interested in signing him. Even though I think he winds up with the Cubs, I'd be happy to see him go to the Sox. He'd probably curse them for another 86 years.
