I predicted that my adoptive team, the Texas Rangers, would sweep the hated Rat Sox in Fenway Park. The Rangers took two of three. They took one of three in Yankee Stadium in the preceding series, which means they split six games against two excellent teams in their home parks. Did I ever tell you that I'm a Wash man? He is going to lead the Rangers to the promised land.
Addendum: I told Steve Walsh this by e-mail, but let me say it here: When a catcher blocks the plate, as Jason Varitek did against Omar Vizquel this afternoon, he should be struck firmly in the head with an elbow or a shoulder. Catchers who block the plate are trying to hurt runners. They deserve to be knocked out, like this.
