Pedro v. Pettitte? My crystal ball sees a seventh game! 50 YEARS I've been yearning for a seven game dream series . . . so far so great! I suppose I'm LEEEEEEEANING toward the Phils because of the wife and the tons of Philly swag, but I've been wearing my Yankees cap as well . . . so I won't be crushed if my FAVORITE American League team takes game seven . . . ach, life is good!
