For the first time in years, I'm legitimately satisfied with the teams that ended up making the playoffs. The only team I'll be rooting against this year is the Red Sox, for obvious reasons. If the White Sox make it, I might prefer they lose. I could do analysis of the playoffs but no one gives a shit. What a poop sport. Anyway, here's the ideal matchups in the World Series for me:
1. Chicago Cubs vs. Tampa Bay (Devil) Rays
Why: You root for both of these teams unless you're a douchebag. Win-win for baseball fans.
2. Philadelphia Phillies vs. Tampa Bay (Devil) Rays
Why: Best offensive World Series ever? Maybe, but at least it wouldn't be boring.
3. Milwaukee Brewers vs. Minnesota Twins
Why: No one not bordering Canada would watch this series. Baseball would look like a joke sport and have a forgettable "Classic". Bud Selig gets killed by a foul ball. Also, this would be a huge FUCK YOU to the big market teams.
4. Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim
Why: Besides being a good matchup, it would have lots of promotional power and happen late at night so I'd never have to watch it.
5. Chicago Cubs vs. Chicago White Sox
Why: I needed filler. Might be fun, but we'd be bored of Chicago references in seconds.
Honorable Mention: Red Sox vs. Anyone who beats them in 7 games
Why: Red Sox go up 3-0, pull biggest choke job ever. Tell me that wouldn't be fantastic.
In other news, Ravens will win the AFC North. You heard it here first. I'd rant about the retarded 4th and inches the Steelers took a FG on (ended up almost winning the game for the Ravens), but Blood Sugar Sex Magik came out on Rock Band and is fucking sweet. I'm out.
