Want SOX (Massachusetts team) and ASTROS (Texas team) to win, then ASTROS crush the SOX in the World Series. Poetic justice and a nice symmetry to the upcoming rout of Kerry by Bush...

Not just a Texas team beating a Boston team, but doing it behind one of the Boston team's greatest former players - Roger Clemens. Worst move Sox ever made after letting Babe Ruth go to the Yankees was letting Clemens go. The Curse of the Bambino ends tonight -- but the Curse of the Rocket starts on Friday!

(Note: I am a Sox fan by marriage, but I really only care about them beating the Yankees because I hate the Yankees. I most emphatically do not want John Kerry's team winning the World Series!)

I like that scenario, except that the Astros would have a hard time keeping the Sox lineup in check. I hate to say it, but the Sox have to be favored to win over the Astros, and I would really, really hate to see that scenario in relation to the election a few days later. Too many ways for the media to hype Kerry as the comeback kid, and that this is the year for Boston (Pats, Sox, Kerry)
