baseball: world series 2010

"I WILL NOT watch a Yankees/Phillies World Series."

i said this probably 1000 times over the last few weeks. luckily, neither of those teams made it and we instead have the Rangers (who have never been to the world series) and the Giants (who haven't won it since 1954).

because the Giants are a hated rival of the Dodgers, i will be rooting for Texas (i have always liked Vladimir Guerrero, as well.). regardless of the outcome, though, congratulations to these two smaller market teams. the Rangers have the 23rd highest payroll in baseball, after all.
