Okay, now Gloria, you seem to be a little high on yourself at the minute. Let's make this interesting now, shall we? Now that Ball-Mer (I used to live in DC and that's what we liked to call you!) has that whiny Sammy Sosa, shall we see who has the better year?
I say Derrick Lee, and the Cubs, will do better than Sosa and the Broken Down Birds, uh, I mean, the Orioles. We can split this up into two separate bets.
So, are we on?

Mere - just wait till hockey resumes (if ever)
I'm torn between the Red Wings and the Black Hawks - Growing up in NYC I don't approve of expansion teams. It also makes me feel cooler this time of year just to think about hockey.

I do like hockey, and have played it. Well, floor hockey, that is, but I was a great center. Never lost a face off EVER. I do like the Black Hawks. I find it hard to watch it on TV, though. While it's been about 14 years since I last went to a game, I wouldn't mind going again if the ticket prices weren't as large as the national debt.
Why no expansion teams? More rivalries!

Oh, dear, Cindy, you're not up on recent history, are you? The Red Sox played the Cubs in Wrigley field two weeks ago, and the Cubs won two out of three games. The Cubs scored almost 20 runs in the first two games alone.

Two things......
First, I didn't see the posting fast enough to take up Tiina on her bet. Whoops. And the U-word is okay because right now it's 6:23 in the evening.
Two, the Cubs are in second place as well. As for an old wig, well, what does it look like? I'm sure I can find something around here to put up.
We did like Sosa here for a while, but he did turn into a major crybaby. He even left a game early once for no reason. He tried to say he didn't, but security cameras caught him leaving the park while the game was going on. Quite frankly, the city doesn't miss him, neither does the team. Sometimes when a "superstar" leaves for another team, or retires, the papers still mention him. Sosa has been all but forgotten. And how the hell does someone like him get injured sneezing?
In all fairness, my wife once did a PSA, and he appeared in it. She did say he was very nice.

Tiina hockey it is.
RED WINGS Name your price.

Hey Gloria, a 1980's hair band just called and said they want their wig back.

Not in the closet is he.
Keep your eye on the ball.
