I have seen the light.
I have converted to the side of "Bring Back Roy!" for the sole reason that advocates of Sigurd, Lyndis, and random Tellius characters have driven me to it.
[Well, that and I understand Roy and his significance to Elibe and Fire Emblem now, and didn't in 2008.]
I mean, the sole reason I got a GameFuqs account is to screw with people who still parrot the hivemind assertion that Sigurd is the most popular and beloved Lord in Japan. I think the evidence stacked against that claim is bleedingly obvious at this point, so I'll just point out that fan polling indicates that, the last anyone checked, Sigurd wasn't even the most popular blue-haired mounted lance user in his own game, much less more beloved than, uh, Marth.
Also, I've soured on Krom and FE13, so I kind of hope Sigurd 2.0 doesn't make it in, either. :/

How 'bout them Tigers? Right now it's 6-0.
Can't gloat in advance, but I will point out that the Yankees with their bloated zillion-year contracts have the oldest average age of any major league baseball team (33) and that most of the Yanks' stars are quite a few years above that. So you've got a team made up of broken-down warhorses who can't do what they did five years ago (especially now that some of 'em aren't juicing), and these no-name kiddies who've been brought into the playoff roster now that the big names are benched, injured, or out to lunch.
The wheels were gonna fall off sooner or later, and this turned out to be the year. Even Boston's laughing now, fercryingoutloud... mostly because A-Rod ain't on their payroll.
I'm not gonna laugh until nine innings are over. Mercy rule, anyone?
