Organized Chaos

This by far is Musa’s biggest pick of the year. It’s the World Series after all, the grand spectacle that carries with it one of the most interesting stories for Major League Baseball in a long while.

You have the Philadelphia Phillies, who have lived with high expecations for years only to see it come to fruition this season. Then there are the Tampa Bay Rays, who dropped the “Devil” from their name and have advanced to third first World Series after losing every previous year of their existence.

Musa took longer to make this pick than others. Perhaps he understands the magnitude. Or maybe he was worried about the tape worm he contracted from a flea some three weeks ago.

Hey, come to think of it, maybe the tape worm had been giving him tips. Maybe they aren’t bad at all. Maybe they have predicting powers, too.

Maybe not. And you can be sure I won’t ask a tape worm its thoughts on college football. The tape worm is gone by the way, poor Musa. Man, he’s had a lot of medical issues but keeps ticking.

After much deliberation and false alarms on both teams, Musa came to a conclusion. He picked the Rays.

I think the Phillies will win. I decided this because I think they are a better team. Plus, being a Cubs fan, I don’t want to see another fresh Florida team win a world title while Chicago toils in mediocrity.

It could happen, but I’ll just live with it.

Our football picks will come later this week.
