Hey, if you can repeat your luck, I'll buy you tickets for night's game.
It actually wasn't too bad. I got by just fine with a sweat shirt.

If by luck you mean outcome...I can't make any promises, other than someone will win. If that counts... you're on!

Nope, sorry - you have to promise another Met blowout.

I really don't want the Cardinals to win, but I don't want a N.Y. team to win either. So for me, watching that series is like watching a traffic accident. You know you shouldn't look, but you just can't help yourself.

Right now, I don't think it matters which NL team goes. I think the Tigers will be too much for either team. But for the time being... GO CARDS!

It takes a Cubbies fan to elevate rooting against the winners to an art form.

Hey, I'm also a Bears fan, so I don't just root against winners.

But I've certainly had enough practice rooting against the Cardinals, Mets and Yankees...sigh...

My first real experience rooting against the Mets was 1969, when they overtook the Cubs in the standings to go to the WS. Ron Santo was on that Cub team, and he does the color commentary on the Cubs radio broadcasts now. You can still hear how he feels about N.Y., and it all started that year. He also doesn't travel to N.Y.; I think the main issue is his health and the fact he cannot travel as much as he used to, but I don't think it's coincidence that he doesn't make it to Shea.

So... M&M... the chances of Lou getting ARod are about the same of the Cubs winning the World Series this year!

A-Rod has a "no trade clause" and he is not going to give up going to the Yankees to go to a team that cannot make the playoffs but every 3 or 4 years at best. He did that already on Texas, he is not going back. Lou might want that, but it is not going to happen.

Peace

They were already speculating this morning in a coupla NY papers about A-Rod maybe going to the Cubs. I can't see it personally; the Cubs don't have the young pitching that the Yankees need.

A-Rod is gonna go someplace.

A-Rod is going to remain a Yankee.
