Now that I’m seeing the world series, I’m almost rooting for the hated Cardinals.  I want to demonstrate that the National League can stand on its own.  I find it telling that I want that more than I want the Cardinals or the smarmy LaRussa to lose.  It would be nice to see Sean Casey win a ring though.

I remember that for the first game of the World Series, Fox showed an intro describing Detroit as run down, without job hopes – basically in the crapper.  Fox said that Detroit had its Tigers, though, and that was going to get them through.  Like the World Series wasn’t stressful enough…  Now they have the weight of a city with high unemployment, high poverty and high drug use on their backs. 

Former Reds player Juan Encarnacion looks lost in right field.  He can’t seem to field a ball clearly out there in the Series.  He’s played in the outfield a long time.  Not sure what’s up with him of late.
