October - Month of Destiny

I guess it's just destiny that despite a extremely suspect starting rotation, the ALCS is gonna be The Sox vs. The Empire starting on my birthday and the 18th anniversary of the 1986 ALCS comeback. The Twins had The Yankees on the ropes in 3 out of the 4 games and managed, as they did 65 times this season, to come from behind and win a game - twice in extra innings. I didn't really have a real preference on who I wanted The Sox to play to get to the World Series as both teams were evenly matched, but at least this way if The Sox go all the way, we won't have to listen to Yankee Fans saying it didn't count because we didn't go through them. Fine. But God help me if The Sox blow this as I have several new co-workers that are Yankee Fans.

Speaking of sorts of the new job, I finished my first week and I am getting more and more comfortable there. I haven't heard from the other places yet, but I figure if I do not get either of these it's fates way of telling me I'm better off where I am now as I know despite the low paycheck and I'll enjoy the work once I get the swing of things.

So, in a way, by the end of this month, my fate and the fate of The Sox will be sealed. I will know where I'll be for the next few years and The Sox's future will either as a team of Gods that ended 86 years of frustration or just another bunch a guys that almost made it.
