Game One
Tonight, the Red Sox face the Rockies in game one of the World Series (which is defined as the series of games between the best two teams in the US or Canada). Start time: 8:35. Click here for a preview. In series news, Josh Beckett gets the start while Time Wakefield is off the roster with an injury. Interestingly, even after going into a three-game hole in the ALCS before eventually winning, while the Rockies had two consecutive sweeps, the Bosox are the overwhelming favorites.

Naturally, to make a stupid political point, the New York media notes that Rudy told a New Hampshire crowd he'll be rooting for the 'Sox. Kind of a lame story, really. He said he's an AL fan (but would root for the Mets if they were in it). What's controversial about that?

Meanwhile, Joe Torre replacement watch continues. They have already interviewed Mattingly and Girardi who are considered the favorites. News reports indicate that a decision may come this week--if only to take some wind out of a Red Sox World Series win.

UPDATE: Maybe Giuliani has lost it.

UPDATE: Some people take their baseball very seriously. Check out the last photo. It's going to be a long night from the look of things.
