Any baseball fans out there? The playoffs for the World Series begin tonight with the American League wild card game between the Oakland Athletics and the Kansas City Royals. I'm a National League fan (another miserable season for my beleaguered Chicago Cubs), but I watch pretty much any game. I guess I'm rooting for the Royals tonight as they've had a long drought between playoff appearances. Let me put it this way. The last time KC won the World Series, most of their current players hadn't been born yet. Who do I think will make it to the WS? I'm not great at predictions, but I think the Washington Nationals and the Los Angeles Angels have the best shot. Would be nice to see the Nationals win it all. Just don't want to see the Los Angeles Dodgers or (heaven forbid) the St. Louis Cardinals hoisting the trophy when all is said and done.
