It is merely a warped factor of history that we might consider these teams somehow equivalent victims of fate. The Indians are “Major League;” the Red Sox are “Fever Pitch.” This is not your fault, Red Sox fans, but the truth, nevertheless.
A look at predictions from around the Internets:
• CoolStandings: Red Sox in six.
• Keith Law: Red Sox in seven.
• Baseball Prospectus: Indians in seven.
• Rob Neyer: Indians in six.
• Jeff Passan: Red Sox in seven.
• DEADSPIN: Indians in six. We think the Indians are destined to become the next Ohio team to lose in the championship round. Poor guys.
They’ve stolen me Lucky Charms! Just to get your ready for tonight’s American League Championship Series game, we thought we’d show you this, from, I guess, when the Sox clinched the East. You may have already seen it, but it really cannot be emphasized enough. I can’t quite put my finger on why, but after seeing this there is no way I would hit against Papelbon. Or get in the same elevator.
Cleveland may rock, but the Red Sox have the Zing of Irish Spring!
Before the Bears-Packers game on Sunday night, some of those celebrity types were wrangled up and escorted into a holding pen, lest their celestial superpowers overtake those of Brett Favre. In the above picture, James Van Der Beek — most famous for his role as Lincoln Rogers Dunnison in 2001’s Texas Rangers — smiles for the camera while Justin Timberlake shotguns a Miller Lite in the background. Seriously. That’s kind of cool, we think. More after the jump.
“If called upon, I feel like I could do it,” Testaverde said. “I’ll do whatever they ask me to do and that’s why I’m here. I feel comfortable in any situation. We’ll just go forward from here and see what happens. Hopefully, I won’t have to take a snap this year. If that’s the case, we’ll have a great year.”
We’d like to repeat our favorite fact about Vinny: He’s color blind. This will never fail to amuse us. We can’t imagine Vinny knows too many of the plays just yet, but we don’t think this will stop him from throwing for 400 yards, and then tossing an interception to lose the game.
Major League Baseball scuttled the plan, Dodd spokesman Hari Sevugan confirms. They’ll be offering refunds to contributors who were in it for the baseball, rather than for the face time with Dodd.
“This isn’t quite Bucky Dent or Aaron Boone, but we are disappointed nonetheless. Senator Dodd was looking forward to spending a night watching the Red Sox take on the Indians at Fenway Park, but unfortunately Major League Baseball’s rules are such that the contest cannot continue. We will still
be cheering on the Red Sox every step of the way to the World Series, and look forward to inviting someone to spend a day on the trail with Chris Dodd,” Sevugan said in an email.
Wait, so does this mean he’s not going to game at all now? Some kind of fan you are, Senator.
We’re gonna just man up and beg the Lakers here: Please, please, trade Kobe Bryant. We don’t care where. Chicago? Phoenix? Dallas? We don’t know, and we don’t care. Just get it done, and fast.
Honestly, we really thought we were done with all this. Forum Blue And Gold points out that Jerry Buss’ comments were mostly political in nature, and meant more to stamp down discussion than fire it back up. But God, we can’t take it anymore! We’re not checking Kobe’s Web site, we’re not reading the LA Times — except for Plaschke of course! — and we’re not going to bow to our Chick Hearn memorial. Just get it over with, and please, stop talking about it. We can’t take it. Until Kobe is traded or arrested again, don’t wake us up.
Virginia Tech has been consistent about defending their former star quarterback Ron Mexico since that whole dogfighting business, but his high school, well, they’re not so proud anymore.
Michelle Morgan, a spokeswoman for Newport News Public Schools, said Vick’s jersey was taken down last month around the time he pleaded guilty to federal dogfighting charges.
“It remained up through a lot of the allegations and news reports,” Morgan said. “It came out after he admitted to some wrongdoings.”

We really might have something exciting happening in Glendale this weekend, and we don’t mean the dulcet stylings of the Pink Taco. Yes, we might see 
The only way just about anyone we know would ever donate money to a Presidential candidate has turned out to be bunk: Major League Baseball says
