A Cubs -Sox Series would do wonders for Obama!
The odds against it are high, but who knows? First time in how many years, both teams are in the play-offs?

1. Do you think they'd ask him to throw the opening pitch?
That'd be AWESOME--and a huge FU to Bush.

6. Think of it, Bicoastal
Before every game. What a year for Chicago. Here's Barack's take on tonights match-up. Unbelievable publicity. With only a week to go when the Series is scheduled to end.

5. As a bitter, bitter Twins fan
I would be forced to root for the Cubs.

Obama wins. That's all I care about.

10. Always takes a left coaster to spoil the party.
I'm a Cubs fan, David, and the Dodgers scare me. Anything can happen in a Best of Five. Plus, Dempster's a flake.

12. Just like the Red Sox winning the WS in 2004 did wonders for Kerry
Fortunately, it ain't gonna happen. Unless you meant Cubs - RED Sox.

You have a tough go with the Angels. Back then, you had that asshole Schilling shilling for Bush. It worked.

16. I wish the Cubs the best of luck
but I'm sure they'll find some way to screw it all up.

Oh, and keep dodo bird Steve Bartman as far away from the field as possible!

18. As a D-Backs fan... I'd love the Sox to win!
That would piss off McCain.

A D-Backs / Sox WS is not likely but I'd love to see it and see the D-Backs swept in Arizona.

Not going to happen.

21. McCain Owns A Piece of the D-Backs
Or at least Cyndy does.

23. Even more important that they lose...
I do not even know if they made the cut for the playoff, by the way.

All of that 85 Bears and 6 rings for Jordan and all those hockey titles and White Sox winning World Series.... NO PITY! 101 years, lose lose lose!
