Are you ready?

The 2005 World Series kicks off at 7:30 ET tonight as the Houston Astros take on the Chicago White Sox!

At this point, I'm not rooting for either team--I just want to see some entertaining ball games. So far the 2005 postseason has felt a bit flat to me, although that may be because a) my own Minnesota Twins never made it to the playoffs, and b) we were not lucky enough to experience another Yankees/Red Sox series. Some people were glad to see other teams in the AL Championship game for once, but I've always thought that you can't go wrong with the Yanks and Sox during the postseason.

As for the World Series, I'm picking the Astros to defeat the White Sox in seven games.

Remember, you heard it here first! ;)
