Baseball And The Pundits

As Atrios has mentioned on a number of occasions, an Astros vs. Redsox World Series would be too much for the punditry to handle. The sheer number of baseball analogies spewing from their mouths and filling the airways might well be enough to cause a tear in the fabric of the universe.
Please St Louis Cardinals, as much as I may dislike you, do not let this happen. Our nation turns its lonely eyes you. Do not let us down. Win this one for the country and then feel free to lose every game thereafter. Your mission will complete and we will all be grateful.
Let me make this half-hearted pledge. If the Cardinals win tonight, I may even consider not booing Scott Rolen the next time he’s in town.
Speaking of bad punditry, I no longer get CNN. A real tragedy, I know. I was so looking forward to hearing conservative political analyst and American Enterprise Institute Fellow Bill Schneider’s astute analysis on Election Night. My head is still reeling from his beer county vs. wine county breakdown during the New Hampshire Primary and I was really hoping for more of the same. Oh well. My loss. Philadelphia, by the way is more of a whatever gets me drunk fastest county. I’m not so sure what he’d make of that.
