All right, you know as well as I do that no math or science is going to get done here till the World Series is over. On the night of October 26, the Red Sox, in their improbable World Series, won their third straight game against the St. Louis Cardinals. It is now Sox 3, Cardinals 0.

Until the Sox-Yankees playoff series just concluded, no team had ever come from an 0-3 deficit to win a 7-game postseason series. The Red Sox are the first team to ever have done that.

Now the initial situation is repeated. The Red Sox are the only team that has proven that they are able to come from 3 games behind to win. Thus in order to lose the Series, they must defeat themselves. THIS COULD VERY WELL HAPPEN. It has happened countless times before in Red Sox history. So I continue to live in fear and trembling in these apocalyptic times.
