World Series Pick and More

I like the Red Sox to win in 6.  Yes, once again agreeing with my buddy, Cliff Corcoran. My playoff picks so far would tell you that this makes the Rockies a lock, but I will stick with my pre-season champ, the Red Sox.  I just can't see the Rockies starting staff being good enough. 

******************

My favorite post-season blog has been the one Scott Raab has been writing at Esquire.com.  It is loutish, profane, and completely entertaining, which is how I remember Raab as my freshman Rhetoric T.A. at the University of Iowa.  A rabid Indians fan, Raab was destroyed by the Red Sox comeback.  He is the kind of person that becomes more interesting when things are going badly for him.  Oh, the tortured artist at work.  His take on the Rockies religious fervor is eye-opening and has given my Agnostic heart a rooting interest in the Series.
If you don't care for Raab, go to the site to read some samples from the best magazine on the planet.  Oh and great photos from their choice as Sexiest Woman Alive 2007, Charlize Theron.  I can't disagree.

Can't say that I disagree with ya Scott, but I'm also taking into consideration the "rooting interest" of America's Mayor. That man is a personal bad luck charm to any team that he roots for, so whether that bad luck manifests itself micro (lose the series) or macro (higher management entirely overrun with dipshits), I gotta thank his pandering ol' soul for making this truly a red letter year for political baseball fans, wherever they happen to be at the moment >;)

This World Series and the NLCS before it are BAD for baseball, so is Charlie Rangel.

Just for good measure, I'll disagree with the Charlize Theron thing, because I do.
