Why do you insist on rooting for the wrong team? I'm fully on board with the Angels now, until El Duque gets his start.

Actually, there's not really a "wrong choice" right now.

ANGELS
Pros: Beat the Yankees, the Rally Monkey
Cons: Responsible for those goddamn Thundersticks, won one three years ago, PICK A GODDAMN CITY

WHITE SOX
Pros: Longer drought than the Red Sox had, due for a win, associated for years with the awesome Veeck family
Cons: Afterthoughts in their own city next to the legion of Cubs fans

ASTROS
Pros: Beat the Braves, never been to a Series, due for a win
Cons: Harboring recently-pinstriped scum (Pettitte and Clemens), abandoned the Astrodome

CARDINALS
Pros: Flattened by Sox Mania last year, best team in baseball this year
Cons: Once harbored J.D. Drew, Tony LaRussa molests collies

I don't understand anything in baseball. But I've never seen a match.

I've tried to study a match of cricket without sleeping when I travelled in England. The sky was blue (I can testify), the birds were singing.
Some players were lucky to run sometimes. Some others were proud to pitch somewhere. I think the last ones were giving points to their own team if they could bear the sun without falling dehydrate.

Next to this strange game, in another cool space-time, white shirted and trousered elderly people were playing lawn bowling.

Quite a nice afternoon. But I still understand nothing in cricket : I'm not sure this sport has real rules.

I like

Angels: PRO - prove that the franchise is for real, and that 2002 wasn't just a Cinderella year.

CRAPSTACKS! 1 strike, that's all we needed. ONE STRIKE! and WTF was Garner thinking to pitch to Pujols anyway? at least we have one of the best pitchers in the national league starting wednesday.
