Last time los Wanks won the Series they dropped seven straight going into the playoffs and 13 of their last 15. I was thinking about that as I was writing off the Cardinals this year... And the Sox last year. Ugh. good call. Last time los Wanks won the Series they dropped seven straight going into the playoffs and 13 of their last 15.

I EVEN GOT THE NUMBER OF RUNS OFF BONDERMAN CORRECT FOR GOODNESS SAKE. I SHOULD HAVE PLACED SOME DUCKETS.) DETROIT WILL WIN BOTH AT HOME, TAKING THE YANKS DOWN 3 TO 1. Randy J will be ineffective because he’s old and feeble, and Bonderman will be nasty against a mediocre Wright (did anyone see Bonderman beat the Sox earlier this year? Egads, if he is that filthy, Yanks don’t score 2). And A-Rod got booed viciously today. Ah, the pleasures of Schadenfreude.
