"You have to take a chance on something sometime" - Jim Halpert.

Here's a Sports edition:

1. I won my head to head game in Fantasy Football this week because the guy I played against decided to stack his team with nothing but Chicago Bears players. Luckily for me, the Chicago Bears were on a Bye this week and he only had three active players against me. He still managed to put up 15 points against my 55+ fantasy points.

2. I won in my Yahoo Fantasy Baseball league. I tried to rub it in and gain as many of the 120 possible points. I only got up to 100.5.

3. Kenny Rogers is going to be a FA. Good chance the Giants sign him in my opinion. You heard it hear first: Giants sign Kenny Rogers to a two year deal. Then he beats up respected sports anchors Rick Quan and finds his way towards Dennis Richmond.

4. Here's my predictions for the MLB playoffs: be warned, I was horrible in my picks last year, so I wouldn't bet your money using my picks:

Boston vs. White Sox: I really like the White Sox pitching staff, but I hate AJ Pierzinski and Dustin Hermanson. Boston takes the series.

Yankees vs. Angels: Yes, we all hate the Angels, but a part of me hates the Yankees even more. I hope their 200 million dollar team finally realizes that they have no pitching. Randy Johnson and Mussina aren't bad, but with Chacon in your starting rotation, I think the Angels will win.

San Diego vs. St. Louis: Yes, we all hate San Diego too because the Giants should be representing the NL West. I'm a little worried about the St. Louis pitching staff. Chris Carpenter and Mark Mulder have been getting torched their last few starts. I think St. Louis wins the series, but it's going to be tough if you face Jake Peavy twice.

Astros vs. Braves: Astros have no offense and great pitching. Respected journalist Jayson Stark picked the Astros to win the World Series because of their pitching. With Petitte, Clemens, Oswalt, and Lidge, you don't need a lot of runs. But it will be hard to stop MVP Andruw Jones and super rookie Jeff Francouer. I pick Astros.

Boston over Angles. St. Louis over Astros. St. Louis gets redemption and wins the World Series. World Series MVP won't be Albert Pujols, Jim Edmonds, or Chris Carpenter. Yup, it's going to be Yadier Molina.
