Banter: Who will win the World Series

By Gus Bode

With predictions for the AL and NL winners in the books, who do you think will win the 2009 World Series?

It’s much too easy to be a homer with this pick, but I don’t even have my Redbirds in the World Series. In the end, I see the Yankees dismantling the Rockies in five games, finally proving they can buy a World Series. They will also validate Worthington’s Law, which is simply ‘More money = better than.’

These questions are killing me, absolutely killing me. If the World Series did take place, I would bet that the Cardinals would win. They have a fearsome trio of starters that can go up against any pitcher from any team. Even with the legendary Yankee offense, the Cards pitching staff is just too good. Sadly, this year the World Series will be canceled because of general lack of interest. Using the ostrich approach: If I do not see it, it does not exist. The winner of the 2009 World Series: Nobody. Interestingly, 2005 and 2006 had similar results.

As a die-hard Cubs fan, I am physically incapable of putting the words Cardinals and champions in the same sentence without risking weeks in a hospital bed. Therefore, I must believe one evil shall cancel another; I got the Evil Empire (Yanks) edging the Cards in seven games. I can only hope.
