World Series Meltdown

The Red Sox cannot win this World Series for several reasons:

3. They are not the better team. Though, I believe their comeback in the Yankees series is perhaps the greates sporting achievment of my lifetime to date, they will lose to the better team.

2. They don't really want to win. They get their identitiy from being the team that almost wins. What would happen if the idenity cycles they've created bursted? The equilibrium of the universe would be upset and some butterfly in Tawaiin might begin a massive onlsaught of hurricanes in the Ukraine. The Red Sox, like the Cubs and Clippers, will not win because they need to lose, they need to maintain the dramatic label of "doomed" by the baseball gods.

1. They did trade one of the top three baseball players in this history of the game and their is a consequence to pay for it, even if it happened alomst 90 years ago.

Obviously, the Lord could care less who wins (don't tell that to Notre Dame fans), but it will be a fascinating series to watch.

Having said the previous, the Bo Sox will probably win but Olympic judges reviewing Damon's 7th game, 9th innning, last at bat, homerun will cite a rules violation in the MLB player manual: rule 63542b (from 1918) which clearly states " a player shall only be allowed to wear hair longer than his wife from 1968-1974 and from 1990-1994."

Congratulations, Paul Hamm will hand the Cardinals their Championship trophy and people will remember them for something other than an Arch and Ozzie Smith backflips.
