Anything can happen (and usually does) when the Boston Rat Sox play the Bronx Bombs. Two days ago, in Fenway Park, the Bombs won, 20-11. Yesterday, the Rat Sox got their revenge, 14-1. That's 46 runs in two games! I can't wait for tonight's game. It's on ESPN at 7:05 Central Time. C. C. Sabathia goes for the Bombs and Josh Beckett for the Rat Sox. Each pitcher has won 14 games. Each has a chance for 20 this season, which is the standard of excellence for a starting pitcher. Do I have a favorite? Are you kidding? I hate both teams with a passion. I wish both could lose! So why am I watching? Because I love baseball, and the rivalry between these teams is the best in the game. Oh yes, I enjoy watching A-Rod choke. Will you be watching? If not, why not?
Prediction: Bombs 1, Rat Sox 0. There will be sleeplessness in Beantown tonight, followed by crankiness in the office tomorrow.
