I have to say what I am sure a lot of people think: the Boston Red Sox have got to be one of the ugliest, scruffiest, ill-kempt team to ever play in the World Series.
They outdo the Oakland As of the 70s.
If I have to look at those nasty beards, and shoulder length mops for a week on TV, I'll just throw up.
Other than that, they are a good team.
Hope Houston wins.
Then, the Series will mirror the election: Texas vs MA.
Should be a hoot.

You're right- they are a scruffy team. However, they have something the clean-cut (dare I say metro?) Yankees lost along the way...they LOVE BASEBALL!!!!!!!!!!
How about the Dykstra-Kruk-Daulton Phillies of 1993?
Let me not jinx the 'Stros by committing the sin of presumption, to tempt an insulted Deity.......(and He should be plenty insulted by the offering at the top of the thread!).......
But I share your opinion. Tex-uss and Tax-a-chew-setts have some unfinished business.
Like a Civil War. And Reconstruction.
And the slight matter of John Quincy Adams keeping Texas out of the Union all by hisself, for ten years! Ten years while Texas -- God's own country, we just live on it -- was pressed sore between Kiowas and Comanches on one side, and Santa Anna on the other.
And Roger Clemens.
And Prohibition. (It was their idea!)
And people trying to trash marriage.
And Demmy-crats!!!
Man, do we have issues with Taxachusetts!
(Gotta win a game first in St. Louis, though -- and they'll be tough!)
