Believe in the power of the rally monkey

I was right, nyah nyah nyah.

When I said "this was a pretty good year for baseball" in my prediction a few days ago, I forgot about the All-Star Game fiasco. And the "will they strike or not?" fiasco. And I had no way of foreseeing the Michael Eisner "wearing a sportcoat over a Mickey Mouse T-shirt" fiasco. But I visited one baseball stadium I hadn't yet been to, saw some good games live, had some hot dogs, and watched some good postseason games on TV through the magic of TiVo. And that, in my book, is a pretty good year.

Now I can concentrate fully on the football season. Hey, I thought Jon Gruden was supposed to be an offensive genius!
