The oddest thing is, I remember sitting in the sportsbook at Caesars Palace during ASW and looking at the odds board for MLB. I couldn't believe the odds were so high for the Rangers to win the World Series. I looked at the top 10 teams or so, and the only one that "didn't belong" as having a legit shot at even going to the World Series was the Rangers. I even went up and asked if I could bet against it (ie 14-1 - could bet $14k to win $1k?), and they said it don't work that way (good thing too). Shows how smart I am. Yes, I lost money betting against the Saints for the same reason - as a lifelong sports fan, some things just don't make sense. That would be like the Lions winning the super bowl or something...well maybe not that crazy.
I was all hyped up when the Yanks came back to win game 1, but credit to the Rangers for sackin' up after that heartbreaker and taking 3 straight. I was glad the Yanks won game 5, but deep down I just knew they were just delaying the inevitable.
