World Series Kicks Off Tonight

World Series Game 1 is about to kick off from Boston and the wife has gone to bed early, so it looks like it's just me and Joe Buck for the better part of the evening.

If you're one of the few out there not interested in this year's Fall Classic, you can check in on the score at Sports Illustrated's game page for updates.

Hopefully the upstart surprising Rockies give Boston everything they've got and perform better than the Boston Pops did during their Star Spangled Banner tonight. And since when was John Williams "the epitome of Boston" or Eric Byres worthy of joining anyone's pregame booth for anything other than to look like a party boy and take his dog surfing out into the ocean?

Luckily all of this nonsense was already topped by Rudy Giuliani saying during a trip to Boston "I'm an American League fan, and I go with the American League team, maybe with the exception of the Mets. Maybe that would be the one time I wouldn't because I'm loyal to New York." What kind of New York fan roots for the Red Sox?

Thank God for Joe Buck.
