Game 1 of Yankees/Sox is tonight; a few notes:
-Bill- a lifelong Mets fan- has changed his blog to Red Sox colors for the duration of the ALCS, such is the depth of his Yankee antipathy.
-An e-mailer to National Review’s The Corner calls Cardinals-Astros the “Red State Championship Series,” while Yankees-Red Sox is the Blue State version. In fact, all four playoff teams in the AL came from blue states, while in the NL all were red except the Dodgers.
-A bird crapped on Sports Guy’s shirt, so he’s convinced that’s an omen for the Red Sox (a wonderful series- for me to poop on?) But I do like the Vito Stapafore reference- that’s all I’ve thought about, the three times since then that I’ve been to Yankee Stadium.
- I stick with my preseason prediction: a Boston-Houston World Series, with both League Championship Series going 7 games. With practically nothing memorable happening in this year’s first round –aside from the beautiful sight of Atlanta’s annual collapse- we’re certainly due for some magic.
-And finally, here’s a great series preview, which complains that we haven’t heard enough about Yanks-Sox ‘cause of “Midwest media bias.”

Take that you pathetic haters!
