Being a Dodgers fan, I realize that I should heed the predictions of
Nostradamus and know that the A's will lose to the Dodgers. In the book
"Nostradamus: The Missing Quatrains" is the prediction:
And in the Eighth year of the Incompetent One
The Men of the Smog shall vanquish the Men of the Oak
In a war fought seven battles long
And defeat the Athletic Men strong
And the Men of the Smog shall fight in the West
A fierce war of seven battles against the Bay Men
And the sphere shall meet the stick many times
And the unruly northern supporters shall have many fines
And in the final section of the seventh battle
A great earthquake shall have the sphere struck over a wall
And the great Athletic Ones shall not recover the sphere
And Southern Men shall win the series by one run clear
(This is a semi-original work. iccdev!mark originally posted something
similar in talk.rumors back in May about the NBA championships. I made
up some new rhymes for the current World Series. You can post in
anonymously if you wish, but in case someone complains, I *did* mention
this is not a 100% original work.)
