An Update

I'm on jury duty at least through Wednesday, probably, which will hamper activity here. But in the meantime, two things:

--There's a debate Thursday night, 7 p.m. Live on FATV and AM 1280 "The Blend," with live analysis and coverage at the Fitchburg Pride website. This will be a 60-minute debate, so we can all be home in time for ...

--What's really important these days. The Red Sox are in the World Series. And Rupert said it couldn't happen.

The nice part: Last night, when I finally went beddy-bye at about 12:15, it kind of hit me: The Sox were in the World Series. After watching them dig a 3-1 hole, and then get out, the prize at the end was kind of lost in the haze. But now that things have cleared, wheee-ha. Awesome.

Colorado, of course, is ridiculously hot. Hopefully the eight days off cooled them off some. Hopefully. But on paper, the Sox appear dominant. One question: Does Wake go in Game Two. I really can't see him going in the thin air in Denver, so it makes sense to pitch him here Thursday night. Let's see what happens there.

OK, a prediction: Sox is 6. I'm too chicken to take 'em in 5.
