On the contrary, predictions concerning the outcome of the World Series
made after the Series has begun are somewhat more meaningful than those
made earlier, since the latter predictions usually have more evidence
to support them.  I did not mean to be mean to Ken; I just could not
resist teasing him about his detailed predictions after the first game
of the Series dealt him a poor hand on 2 of his 4 predictions.  I don't
hate Baltimore; in fact, I think it's great that they kept the Yankees
and the Red Sox out of the playoffs.

By the way, what does everyone think about Howard "the Mouth that roared"
Cosell?  I wish that his plane or car to the ballpark would get hijacked.
That man knows next to nothing about baseball.  He seems to find it 
necessary to talk all the time about nothing.  We heard about the great
city of Baltimore, the heart rending story about John Denny hating his
father, the rumor that Bowie Kuhn is still to be heard from on some
decisions and that the Mouth couldn't tell us what, etc.  Maybe he'll
get run over by Reagan's Limo.  One more point to mention.  I was impressed
with Earl Weaver's commentary during the game.  He was insightful and
seemed almost clairvoyant at times (I don't like exaggerating but I can't
find the right choice of words, so excuse me).  Maybe if ABC would keep
him and fling the other announcers off the upper deck, we could have
an enjoyable broadcast.
