I like winning, so I am perfectly happy on a night like tonight when the Angels have clinched a postseason spot.<BR/><BR/>But as pleased as I might be tonight, man, how I wish it could have happened in Montreal in 1994 or in any of the 10 years on life-support that followed. If you want to rediscover baseball, I suggest you go to your local high school and catch a game. Of course, you'll have to wait until February.<BR/><BR/>Take whatever good came out of this year-- I know, it's hard, because even the new announcers were subpar-- shove it way back in your memory, have a nice fall and winter and come back in the spring when all save one team will be looking to wipe out the bad memories of 2005.<BR/><BR/>Loser's dividend? Ask a Cubs fan what all those dividends add up to after 97 years.<BR/><BR/>Virgil HiltsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
