Stay away from my window. Stay away from my back door too. Disconnect the telephone line. Relax baby and draw that blind. Tonight’s the night. -Rod Stewart
Public Service Announcements: Ok, here we go! You want answers? You think you’re entitled? You want answers? Like my main man Carnac the Magnificent always says, “May a nearsighted sand flea suck syrup off your short stack.” I’m not usually one for predictions. I’m no Usutu, but all the cool kids are doing it.
Will the Cubbies really choke the goat and win a World Series for the first time in 100 years? Or, will Joe Torre give the Yankees the ultimate kick in the head and take the ultimate prize? We all know how big one ex-Red Sox has been for Dem Bums, but know this sports fans, Game One starter Derek Lowe has been lights out. A 0.94 ERA in his last nine starts. A proven big game pitcher. Pitching wins championships! Chad Billingsley has become one of the most underrated pitchers in the game one strikeout at a time. So, you can go with the feel good Cubs, I’m going with Torre and the Dodgers.
Will my beloved Red Sox repeat without my boy Man-Ram? Or, after steamrolling to the best record in the majors, will the Angels steamroll their way through the post season? You say the Angels were 8-1 against the Red Sox this season. I say, the Red Sox have won nine straight playoff games against the Angels dating back to 1986. I say Red Sox in four. And not for nothing, I have tickets for that game. Roll Sox, roll!
Can the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, one of four active teams to never have played in a World Series really take the holiest of holies? Or, after winning an unprecedented three games in three days against three different teams, can the Go-Go Sox really win three more series for the ring? The White Sox have eight players with thirteen or more bombs and six with twenty or more. The White Sox have been there. The White Sox have done that. The White Sox have two of the all-time greats in Ken Griffey Jr. and Jim Thome. The White Sox take this thing. Experience or change? You decide.
Is CC Sabathia really enough? Or, can Ryan Howard, Chase Utley and Brad Lidge really do only what Pete Rose, Mike Schmidt and Tug McGraw done did for the City of Brotherly Love? Really? Brewers don’t stand a chance. Not a chance.
Public Spectacle:
Peace out homies. Six two and Even!
