Being a Dodgers fan, I realize that I should heed the predictions of Nostradamus and know that the A's will lose to the Dodgers. In the book "Nostradamus: The Missing Quatrains" is the prediction: And in the Eighth year of the Incompetent One The Men of the Smog shall vanquish the Men of the Oak In a war fought seven battles long And defeat the Athletic Men strong And the Men of the Smog shall fight in the West A fierce war of seven battles against the Bay Men And the sphere shall meet the stick many times And the unruly northern supporters shall have many fines And in the final section of the seventh battle A great earthquake shall have the sphere struck over a wall And the great Athletic Ones shall not recover the sphere And Southern Men shall win the series by one run clear (This is a semi-original work. iccdev!mark originally posted something similar in talk.rumors back in May about the NBA championships. I made up some new rhymes for the current World Series. You can post in anonymously if you wish, but in case someone complains, I did mention this is not a 100% original work.)
