that have nothing to do with the outcome.
1) Tim McCarver will talk too much.
2) There will be at least 5 feature stories on the health of David Ortiz's knee, along with at least 3 in game updates each game. Look for an interview with Ortiz's patellar tendon.
3) Get ready for a Joba Chamberlain JOS. He will be portrayed as the next Roger Clemens in the division series. If the Yanks advance to the ALCS, he'll be portrayed as a righthanded Sandy Koufax. And if the Yanks get to the World Series, he'll be portrayed as the next Cy Young. If the Yanks win it all, the media will anoint him as the greatest pitcher of all time and speculate whether he could throw 162 complete games next season.
4) The games will be too long.
5) There will be at least 782 stories per day on the Billy Goat curse if the Cubs make it in.
6) If Boston and NYY do not advance, east coast media blowhards will gripe about "small market" teams driving down the WS ratings, even if large market teams like the Angels or Cubs are playing. Some may be placed on suicide watch.
7) You can schedule your bathroom break around the 7th inning stretch at Yankees' home games, which is longer than most NFL halftimes.
8) Look for some empty seats in the first round games.
9) At least a quarter of the games will stretch past midnight in the east, and purists everywhere will wonder what would be wrong with having a couple of day games in the World Series.
10) You will get queasy when you hear "Our Country" for the 4596th time.
Stay classy,
Ron

Almost forgot......I'm guessing at least an hours worth of coverage on who Barry Bonds will play for next year!
<< <i>Get ready to see a ton of dane cook with his Actober deal. >>
I hate that guy...he's a complete and total talentless hack.
<< <i>and Jack &uck will be no different from usual -- an anus. >>
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

And all true too!
" Where will ARod end up next season?"
If the Sox meet up with the Yanks, constant reminders of the bad blood (ARod slapping the ball, ARod and Varitek fighting, Pedro flattening Zimmer), at least one video of Bucky Dent and Aaron Boone, Rudy Guiliani being seen in the stands, Red Sox coming back from 3 down...Bloody sock, Damon betraying Boston, 'Gosh, these young players on the Red Sox and Yankees will continue this tradition'
replays of Bartman, Tim McCarver making everyone who listens feel like stabbing themselves in their ears with anything sharp, and plenty of hot chicks in Mrs. Sizemore t-shirts in the stands at Indians games
Forget blocking him; find out where he lives and go punch him in the nuts. --WalterSobchak 9/12/12
Looking for Al Hrabosky and any OPC Dave Campbells (the ESPN guy)
I havent seen so little talent, get so much screen time.....since, well... never actually. Can't act, tired routine, just don't see the appeal.
