I know there's a disturbing lack of baseball fans around here, but I'll try anyway.
The World Series starts today, in a little over 13 hours. New York Yankees at Arizona Diamondbacks. In game one the DBacks send Curt Schilling, one of the greatest big game pitchers of modern times, against Mike Mussina. If they had any sense they'd have Schilling pitch on short rest in games 4 and 7 so he could have 3 starts in the series, but unfortunately they aren't doing that.
The team that's won 3 in a row and 4 of the last 5 championships vs. a team that's never been to a World Series before. A team that knows it'll be back every year vs. a team with a lot of aging veterans that know they're running out of time. Arrogance vs. professionalism. If that doesn't give a clue to which team I'm rooting for, my new avatar should.
