Hi, folks. I was posting a bunch of stuff for class, and then I wasn't posting anything at all, but I sure want to talk about all the craziness that will surely be starting up tonight. A few things:
1.) Our household was filled with joy when the Yankees lost. The cats fled from my screeching. Whatever happens in this series will pretty much be icing on the cake for me.
2.) I've favored this years Giants since the beginning of the season. They are, as Michael Lewis says about the A's in Moneyball, the Island of Misfit Toys. Give me a team made of other peoples' castoffs and just plain weirdos (insert your own link to one of many articles about Brian Wilson's beard here), and I'll be thrilled. It's just so...biblical.
3.) On the other hand, I think the Rangers will simply outperform them, and they don't have a bad story themselves.
4.) The point is, we get to see Tim Lincecum and Cliff Lee tonight. That is completely ridiculous. I can hardly wait.
