Strange Bedfellows

So I am doing something I never thought I'd do, I'm rooting for the Cardinals and the Packers.

Delusional? Bitter Yankees fan?

Maybe.

But no, now that the Sox have finally gotten past my boys (I am in a better place about it), I will finally stop hearing the Boston fans bitch and whine. But the curse is the Series, not the Yanks. Remember that folks.

But since this presidential election is much closer and we all predicted that, let's throw in another random thing.

I am rooting for the Cardinals because apparently, when the National League wins the World Series, the Democrats win. I'm not full of crap, check it out.

And even more evidence: if the Washington Redskins win their last home game before the election, the incumbent party stays in power at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Again, check it out.

So yes, everyone can talk about how if Boston wins the series, it'll be a sign of things to come for John Kerry. So based on statistical coincidences, I've found yet another reason to root against them. And as for the 'Skins on October 31st, I'm going with the Packers.

I ain't usually superstitious, but I think the reason the Yanks lost was to take one for the team. Nah, we got outplayed. But isn't it fun to talk about this stuff? I think so.
