"I really hope the Houston Astros do not make it to the playoffs. The last thing this country needs is a World Series in which a team from Texas goes up against a team from Massachusetts."

Indeed, I can see it now:

"You got my election in your world series" "You got you world series in my election" "Next on CNN... Robert Novak and Paul Begala on Sportscenter...."

Along these lines, ndrtoon asks:
"do we really need to give George Will the excuse to mix his drinks?"

But...but...we have a Democratic mayor...!

It doesn't mean anything. I'm rooting for both the Astros and the Johns. And I was very glad to see the Yankees go down.

I dunno, if the Astros win, that pretty much insures that Boston fans will get to see Roger Clemens pitching in a World Series game in Fenway.. AGAINST the Red Sox.

And that'd be too much fun to miss out on.

Yah, if they win, he'll likely pitch Game 3 on Tuesday on five days rest.

Which sadly would be in Houston. It'd have to be Game 6 or 7, if it comes to that.

Pity the Astros didn't win last night, or it'd be Clemens in Fenway for Game 1.
