Question: Who else will be predicting a Red Sox - Dodgers World Series?

You know the TV network folks really don't want Tampa Bay to advance. In any other year the best TV match-up for the World Series would be Red Sox / Cubs.

And if you don't like my predictions - may a camel with a weak kidney condition find your hope chest.
