quite frankly

now that the giants and a's are out of the running, i'm inclined to second this editorial in the NYT. plus, i believe i'm supposed to be rooting for the red sox, purely because of geographic proximity, although the cubbies do have dusty baker now...

of course, if the sox and the cubbies do get to play each other in the world series, only one of them will end their streak of bad luck...how's that for profound?
