Yup! He will ride this as long as it goes calling the usual innings 1-3 and 6-9 as in the old days. AHHHHHHHH!
Oh Dear God,

Gotta be the Red Sox, I'd think. No only are they overexposured like the Yankees, but they also spend a ton of money and they've won 2 recent World Series including last year.
Good Lord! It's game 1 of the NLCS and already Scully is quoting Edgar Allen Poe!!!!! What an incredible treasure this man is!!!!
If the Cubs, the class of the National League, possibly lose the series to a so-so team from the mild N.L. West, this indeed DOES prove that
A. They truly are cursed
B. Me-Me may have sold his soul to Satan
The last thing I want are the Dodgers in the World Series. They are a one-man gang with subpar pitching.

As much as I don't like the Dodgers, I don't think their pitching is subpar at all.
Off to watch the Angels/Sox....best of luck, Bill.
I think it's going to be White Sox in 5, Phillies in 4, Cubs in 5 and Angels in 5. I think these series are going to be good with a lot of fun. I think the pitchers in these games (ex. Hamels) are really going to show there stuff.
Sorry, Bill, that Beckett injury or lack thereof worries me about the Sox. I think it's about time the Angels get over the hump and beat the Sox.
I picked the Phillies because, well, there better than the Brewers. How could I watch this series?
White Sox vs. Angels-ALCS- Angels in 6
Phillies vs. Cubs-NCLS-Cubs in 5
Cubs vs. Angels-World Series-(Sorry KCK) Cubs in 7.
I really think the Cubbies are going to win it. If they don't, they are CURSED. I just think with Cubs, it has to end eventually.

Just loved Scully's references tonight to the Cub fans being 'full of beans' early in the game
and then after Man-Ram homered he said 'that hissing sound you hear is the air coming out of Chicago's balloon'.
