Week 8 in the NFL and I do not have a good feeling about Brett Favre. In fact I have the same gut feeling about Brett's ankle as I did Tony Romo going down last Monday night. This is going to be painful to watch. A future cripple on a bad ankle. After 21 years screw the streak!
This is one time of the year where being a fan is kind of like seriously dating someone. The more you date and grow your immediate circle senses a change. If they like it they are in board. If not, they'll play along to appease you. A part of me resents the fact that now the Rangers are a nationally known commodity. I knew this before anyone else did in 2009 with just a few missing pieces.
This is a best of seven series for a reason. Heck, prior to 1922 the World Series was a best of 9 format! Reason being a team, if worthy enough to be deemed a champion, must able to be victorious over a period of time. One game does make for a winner nor does one loss tell a whole story. The whole run of a given series shall present the picasso in artists terms.
Years ago I was christened with the nickname 'Rainman'. This is due to choosing to remember things you might deem obscure or unimportant. That's what I do. Something else I am very guilty of is having a hunch, a gut feeling. Occasionally I am wrong, and usually I nail it with conviction.
Many in the media are already giving the World Series ring to the Rangers. Excuse me, have you seen the starting Three that San Francisco feature? Tim Lincecum, Matt Cain, and Jonathon Sanchez! Going against Cliff Lee, CJ Wilson, and Colby Lewis. Starting pitching favors the Giants. The relief will favor Texas. So will middle relief and overall team speed. Buster Posey, Aubrey Huff, and Juan Uribe match up very well with the tandem of Josh Hamilton, Vlad Guerrero, and Ian Kinsler.
