For reasons having nothing to do with my preferences for any particular team, please spare us. I cannot handle the thought of all the pundits spewing baseball metaphors until the election...

(and, yes, I know it's pretty unlikely).

Never even thought about the possibility...kinda weird.

maybe we'll have a clinton-bush series then?

great, so Rudy can remind everyone that he's a lifelong Yankees fan, whereas Hillary just wore the hat to get elected. Blah.

The chances for it are up to about 11%.

You know, the last time the Astros played in an NLCS was also the last time the Red Sox made it to the World Series. It's 1986 all over again.

except the mets are ... ugh.

― maura (maura), Thursday, 21 October 2004 07:51 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm going to pretend that Curt's mention of "bush" was not capitalized.
