Schilling toes the rubber, rubs the ball in the palm of his hands, and faces his nemesis, David Wright. Wright, the reigning NL MVP, slowly steps into the batters box and watches Schilling stare him down. The catcher, Jason Varitek, throws down one finger as a sign to bring the heat. The bottom of the 8th inning, 2 outs, bases loaded in Game 6 of the World Series…the biggest at-bat of the year…
Could this be your World Series scenario? Or maybe Barry Zito facing Albert Pujols in the 7th with 2 on and 2 out. Whatever it is- I’m not looking for a story, I just needed to think of some sort of intro. All I want is your World Series prediction and in how many games. Simply, leave a comment that says “Chicago White Sox over New York Mets in 6 games”, with a short comment if you’re in a good mood.
Mine: Oakland over NY Mets in 5 games
I don’t know, I just feel like it’s Billy Beane’s year. The balance is there, it’s time for Barry Zito to get back to Cy Young level.
