Absolut, Red Sox getting ready for October
Just in time for Major League Baseball's postseason, Absolut is breaking an ad that shows a Red Sox fan moving into left field at Fenway Park. It's part of the vodka's "In an Absolut world" campaign, and for Yankees fans everywhere (and me personally), it's the sorry end to a sad season. Not only will my beloved Pinstripes almost certainly miss the playoffs for the first time since Robinson Cano was in grade school, but I never got a callback in my quest to portray Sox mascot Wally. (I can root for one team and get paid by another—what's so wrong with that? Pete Rose did it!) Even worse, before the season began, I maligned ad campaigns from the Blue Jays, Twins and Rangers and talked up the Yanks on AdFreak. Now I've got to eat crow—and I dislike crow, unless it's seasoned just right and served with fava beans. OK, fine... chomp, chomp! I'm eating crow now! ... Ughhh, this tastes awful! |

And Joe Torre will likely be in the playoffs while his former team watches him from home. I'm not surprised.

Thats o.k. David, I'm a Yankees fanatic too. An off year is expected every 13 or so.....not to worry. I'll take great pleasure in seeing the Angels spank the Sawks in the playoffs.
