It's the World Series! Hooray for baseball!
I suspect it'll go 5 with approximately the same thing happening to the Rockies as happened to the Tigers last year. Two sweeps and a long break is enough to throw any players off their games, but for the relatively young Rockies it'll probably end up being a real downer. Last night's game 1 made it look like it would be.
I have dear friends who love the BoSox, and dear friends who love the Rockies. I am having a hard time wanting either of them to win. It's good to see new talent up there, but I also love to see the "old guys" giving it a good run.
I also see the Yankees organization stepping on the Rockies and Red Sox's moment with the announcement of a new manager. Can't Steinbrenner take a vacation and let the teams playing in the Series have the spotlight? 10 days without the word Yankees on the sports page, that's all I'm asking.
How about Joe Torre for Commissioner? How about he take a serious pay cut and go to the Royals, Blue Jays or one of the Florida teams? I don't see him as someone who'd be particularly happy in retirement at this point.
Anyway, I don't care which team wins the Series, or who the Yankees hire. But it's baseball and that's all good.
Well...
