So Far So Good

It's been a good World Series so far, even up at one game apiece with a pair of one run games.
I watched the first game and with the Cardinals win it meant that my prediction of the Rangers winning in 4 went by the boards.
Last night, I caught the final inning on the radio. I had a high school football game to announce and couldn't watch the game unfortunately.
Looking forward to the games in Texas.
Meanwhile, I am rooting for the Rangers because, in most instances, I pull for the American League team.
The only times I rooted for the National League in the World Series was 1975 when I pulled for the Reds over the Red Sox since I hate the Red Sox.
In 1988, I went for the Dodgers over the Athletics. The reason for that was I felt I "owed" the Dodgers my allegiance since they beat the Mets in the NLCS. So for that 88 series I was loyal to the Dodgers.
In 2004 and 2007 I rooted for the Cardinals and Rockies against the Red Sox. Things didn't go well in those two Fall Classics.
The only time I pulled for the Red Sox in the few World Series they've participated in in my lifetime was in 1986 against the Mets. Yes, I hate the Mets more than the Red Sox. While the Mets winning wasn't fun, at least the Red Sox suffered a painful Moammar Khadafy-esque demise. I would have to say, from my viewpoint, the 1986 World Series goes down as the worst one ever.
