Despite (because of?) my certainty that the NL champ would not win a World Series game(documented here), the Cards are a win away from shocking the Tigers, and the rest of us, and taking it 4-1. I've never seen a team have every lucky break go their way like the Cards did last night (the centerfielder slipped & fell down chasing what should have been an easy out, a key hit tipped off the leftfielder's outstretched glove, another killer error by a Detroit pitcher, etc,etc), and all without the benefit of even a single blown call, which is headline worthy by itself. Maybe it's just their time to win one. Now they'll blow it for sure.
Another stunner: For this whole NFL season, the Fox Sports web site has had different Simpsons characters picking the winners of each week's games. This week: Monty Burns. Next week: Kang & Kodos. How did I not hear about this until today? Not a clue.
Homer picked them in week one (and went 10-4-2). A sample of his wisdom: "I don't like Miami because the dolphin on the helmet is wearing a helmet that doesn't have a dolphin on it. Which side are you on, man?"
