Okay okay, the Marlins won the World Series, or as it feels to me, the Yankees lost the World Series. Josh Beckett was incredible, the Yankees pretty feeble, Yankee-haters rejoice, etc etc, blah blah blah. What really bums me out is that there's no more baseball until spring training. The Yankees are sure to see some off-season upheaval. Joe Torre's coaching staff seems likely to be shaken up quite a bit: Don Zimmer has vowed he'll never return to Yankee Stadium while Steinbrenner owns the team; Mel Stottlemyre has been much more measured in his comments, but still clearly isn't very happy with the Boss; Lee Mazzilli may wind up as the manager of the Baltimore Orioles; Rick Down is likely to be fired, etc. I just hope Steinbrenner doesn't do anything truly evil like fire non-baseball employees in a fit of pique. Elevator operators and janitors, beware of that gray-haired man in the turtleneck and sunglasses!
Watched a cool flick last night - Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed, a Hammer Studios classic. The great Peter Cushing played the very evil Baron Frankenstein. This was about as evil as I've seen Frankenstein. Oh, sure, he still felt society didn't understand how brilliant he was and how advanced his ideas were, but now he was a total cutthroat meanie - blackmailing, raping, lopping off heads - a real sweetheart. Ahh, the great British horror films of the 50s-70s. They just don't make 'em like that anymore, and good ol' "Chiller Theater" wouldn't have been the same without them.
Listening to the new Van Morrison cd, What's Wrong With This Picture. So far, I dig it.
Oh, check out this bizarre link my friend Ed sent me:
