| | My Prediction for the World Series:
Of course, being a native Chicagoan on the Near North Side means I get
to choose which ever major league baseball team I want. And
unlike professional football (0), we actually have 2 teams to choose from in
Chicago. Seeing as how the Cubs are whiny about things they don't
need to be whiny about (such as legendary Cubs fan and broadcaster
Steve Stone rightly criticizing them for unwise decisions), I laid my
stakes with the Sox this year.
Now, granted, I'm not a great baseball fan. But the things I
don't like about baseball in general (the slow pitches, the fat men - I
mean, C'mon, golf doesn't
have as many fat men as pro baseball does, the general air of laziness
and complacency), the White Sox have avoided like PETA avoids
McDonald's.
So, of course I'm going with the Sox in five. The only question
would be the relief and closers, who haven't seen action in two
series. Heck, they're practically born-again virgins. So,
that's no surprise. That fifth game may be a doozy, and we may
lose either the first or the fifth. I have a lot of respect for
our pitching staff, but no one (even ex-Yankees) should attempt two complete games in a
row, let alone four in two series.
But this is my real prediction: Steinbrenner - tired of
constantly losing - will buy the entire winning organization and use it
as a farm team for his beloved Yankees, along with an option for Pujol
and the Cleveland Indians.
