I just reviewed the
ESPN expert prediction page. 18 ESPN baseball 'experts' made their predictions for all the series outcomes just prior to the postseason. NOT ONE got the World Series matchup correct. Only one of them had the Marlins even advancing out of the NLDS, and even he picked the Cubs over the Marlins. TEN of them had the Red Sox advancing to the World Series, compared to five thinking the Yankees would make it. And finally, seven of them had the Cubs advancing to the World Series.
It all just goes to show you that even the most informed and involved baseball people can't predict this game with any accuracy.

No kidding.
I read an article on the Fox site.
Quote from Boone:
"Wow. I can't even talk," Boone said. "It's unbelievable. Mo ... so many heroes today. Unbelievable. This is awesome. Like Derek told me, `The ghosts will show up eventually."'
Derek Jeter understands the magic of Yankee Stadium and that game last night was proof.

As to predictions: Nobody wants to acknowledge the goat in the room.
