Evil Empire Score Card
So, to paraphrase Luke Skywalker, is the dark side stronger? It doesn't take a mathematician to calculate the leader in this battle. Boston's World Series win last night puts them up 2-0 over the Yankees since dropping the evil label on the Bronx Bombers. Add to that the greatest come-from-behind victory in baseball in 2004 when the Sox beat the Yankees in four straight games after falling behind 3-0 to reach the series.
But now the tables (or should I say labels) have turned and it seems the devil wears crimson.
"They're not warm and fuzzy anymore, and no longer seem all that lovable."
Chicago Cubs fans take heart in your 100-year drought from World Series success -- no one ever uses the term "lovable winners."
