So after my little traffic debacle, I parked my car in front of My Favorite Coffeehouse and listened to the end of the Rangers-Yankees American League Championship Series game.  After the Yankees lost -- thank fucking God -- I came out of my car and started getting my laptop out of my trunk.

I saw two guys walking by, one of whom was wearing a Rangers shirt.  I thought he'd be so happy learning his team just won the pennant and would be going to the World Series: "Hey, your team just won."

"I know," he said, "I just saw it on TV."

And I forget that even though this is Uptown, there are sports bars in the area, including one just 40 yards away.

I'm thinking he didn't think any more of this, but I kind of feel like a dork.
