I think I follow (sometimes it takes a Kremlinologist to figure you out--grey suit on the reviewing stand; black at the party funerals). It is interesting to me, though, that the mid-caps I mentioned (and which, at least to me, have some real potential) are so dissociated from the big caps. LOL--here's my take: <<I just sort of figured that the deep-pocket, no-brain crowd ...-- would win October... [segue into] you a yankees fan?>> Deep pockets got taken to the cleaners in October. NY talk sports radio all over ARod for failing to produce for the second October in a row (rkrw and you Sox fans had your banquet). And they are really on him for saying, to a live mike, in the losing clubhouse, something along the lines of: "I had a terrific year so I have no reason to hang my head...." That's not an unreasonable statement, but the timing of it s..ks and shows ARod as a me-first kind of temperament, whereas Jeter said into the mike: "We didn't come here to be in the playoffs, we came here to win them. So, this won't cut it." [Again, that's the jist.] All that said, drumroll, no, I was rooting for the Angels. I grew up a Dodgers fan and hung on to the royal blue in LA as long as I could until there just was no there there any more. The last time I got really pumped with the Dodgers was when Kirk Gibson electrified the baseball world and Dennis. I liked the mid-90's version of the Yanks: Torre (ex-National Leaguer, whom I once had dinner with along with Bob Gibson--another story), lots of home grown talent, a rookie named Jeter, and a fabulous come back win against the Braves in '96--also enter Mariano. But once George "October deep pockets" Steinbrenner started his trough-feeding frenzy again, ARod, Sheffield, Johnson, even Mussina, Wright, etc., etc., I'd choke before I'd cry at their interment. quid
