A couple of things to bring a grin to my face today. One being the Sox winning last night and heading on to the World Series. I do have to wonder at Francona bringing in Pedro as a reliever. Thats not something he normally does and he was pitching on only a day's rest. Not to mention that he's the likely starter for Game One. One good thing about the way things went is that neither team in the World Series will have much of a rest advantage. If the Yankees had won game 4 of the ALCS they would have had almost a week of rest, giving them rather an advantage.

Another nice thing for me is that my Willy index is now past 700. Want a Willy index of your own? Just go here to learn how. Or perhaps you'd prefer a George index. If so, check out Where's George.
