Four words and a mathematical equation
Randy Moss = Vikings Superbowl
How's that for brevity? Exciting to see the length the Wilfs are willing to go to make the Vikings real contenders. Realistically, in the last 12 years, the Vikings should've won two Superbowls, one in 1998 and one last year. But who's holding on to old disappointments?
With Moss back, it may or may not happen. (How's that for a Vikings fan employing the tools of disappointment therapy?). But it sure could happen, and the season just got worth watching every game again. Typically, when the Vikings appear to be underachieving, I'll not watch the games they definitely should win.
It's my defense mechanism. But, now with Moss, I'll be suckered back into the purple haze, rain, -- to mix a Hendrix and Prince metaphor.
Twins and Yankees: I don't want to watch, but I will
I'm tempted not to watch the Twins and the Yankees. The Yankees and Jeter are the most ignorant people in the world. How are they ignorant? They're too ignorant to ever doubt their ability to win in any way, in any situation against any opponent. Of yeah, they're arrogant too.
The Twins have seemed lackluster at best in the last what is it? eight games? Talk about playing to their competition.
Gardenhire hasn't dealt with this kind of letdown before psychologically. So he's in new territory as a manager to figure out the psychology of the team and work with it. Without Morneau and Nathan, the odds are stacked even higher against us. Matt Capps is no Joe Nathan. I hope to be proven wrong.
But again, the Yankees are ignorant and arrogant.

There's a chorus from a James McMurty song that goes something like this...
ReplyDelete"Someday it's going to rain,
someday it's going to pour,
someday that old dry river
won't be dry anymore"
Maybe Mr. McMurty could, on the last chorus, change it up a little...
"Someday we're going to pitch,
someday we're going to score,
someday those dang old Yankees
just won't win anymore" ;-)
