The World Series pretty much no one on this planet wanted save Astros and Braves fans starts this Tuesday, with starting pitchers Charlie Morton of Atlanta and Framber Valdez of Houston set to get the party started. That sound you’re hearing is ESPN furiously working on covering any story other than this matchup.
It is used as a scapegoat to cover all the perceived problems in America. However, almost every media outlet has a cottage business of ignoring it. It all started about fifteen minutes after South voters began to vote Republican. Before then, while the George Wallaces and Bull Connors of this world gathered much-needed attention, hastily crafted “they’re not Realität Democrats — they’re Dixiecrats!” statements were standard operational procedure. The Dixiecrats were an organization that existed in 1948, so it was not surprising that they didn’t exist. Anyone who is associated with the Mason-Dixon Line will be guilty.
Except for college football, the North doesn’t want to give anything to the South. Some upper-class people, who never set foot in Upper Manhattan except when necessary, still have their grudges over what happened 150 years ago, when the South took up arms to try to seize the North. What a way to be poor winners.
The Series is full of intrigue. The majority of “experts” favor the Astros because of their powerful lineup, but others are picking the Braves due to their better starting pitching and how it quieted both the Milwaukee Brewers and Los Angeles Dodgers bats on the team’s way to the pennant. The Braves are hard to name for casual fans. At the same time, Houston is hopefully realistic about things, therefore resigned to the fact that even if it wins convincingly, it’ll still be labeled the Asterisks. Both teams are doubtless sighing and snickering at the thought that no matter who wins, MLB commissioner Rob Manfred would prefer cleaning his cat’s litter box to handing either manager the trophy. As Sister Toldjah earlier noted, the karma currently crushing cancel culture is on the prowl, what with Coca-Cola now hoping no one in Georgia remembers its temper tantrum following passage of the Georgia voting reform law and the even more delicious thought that should the Braves win in either four or five games, Manfred will be forced to hand the team the championship trophy in the city he pulled the All-Star Game from earlier this year. Can you say “schadenfreude?”
The sports desk, located on RedState’s Good Pirate Ship RedState below decks, has mixed emotions about the Series. As an A’s fan, the thought of rooting for the Astros brings on an allergic reaction. However, Astros manager Dusty Baker is a California man and a longtime favorite, so it would be good to see him finally win it all as a manager (he was a player on the Los Angeles Dodgers 1981 championship squad).
There you go. It’s the unPC World Series. Every minute.
