Is this the year A-Rod finally gets a ring (And has a hand in it)?

The World Series has started tonight as I'm writing this and I must say I am rather excite to get a chance to see the two best teams in each league squaring off in the Series that matters.
I say the two best teams, because you know how it goes, a team gets hot and makes a run through the playoffs, but it doesn't give us the best two teams in the Fall Classic. Well we got it this year.
Both teams have great pitching. Both teams have a great lineup from top to bottom and both teams have great managers. Well, that last one may be what it comes down to as Yankees fans have been sounding off on Joe Girardi and his mishandling of the bullpen in the ALCS.
I'm not going to get into great analyzation of the series, because I don't think those of you that follow the game want to hear me talk about teams I don't know much more than the average fan knows. Hey, it's not my team that I follow every day and baseball is a sport where you almost need to pay attention everyday in order to know a team as good as you need to.
Still, I can make a pick for a winner in this series.
I have followed the playoffs pretty closely and I must say this is a tough one to pick. Like I said, I like both teams.
Here goes: I'll call starting pitching a wash, offense a wash and defense equal. What the Yankees have the Phillies don't is a guy that can finish the game on the hill. His name is Mariano Rivera and my best friend Vaughan would be happy to know I'm taking the Yankees in 6. It's very close though and could be one of the best World Series of the last 10 years, at least.




In other sports news today, It became official that one of my childhood idols, Hulk Hogan, was going to make a push to get back in the wrestling scene by signing with Total Non-stop Action on Spike TV. Given all he's been through, it's good to see him back on his feet. Here's the video from the announcement.
Let me just say that if TNA wants to compete with WWE this could be a move that puts them on the map to wrestling fans and could help them start to build even more steam than they already have. Along with Hogan, Eric Bischoff is coming on to TNA, as well, and that might be an even bigger move as Bischoff had a big hand in getting WCW on top of WWF back in the mid-'90s and knows talent in the business.



In more of an entertainment item, if you haven't seen Tuesday night's Late Night with Jimmy Fallon Artie Lange from the Howard Stern show was on and was followed by hottie Olivia Munn from G4-TV's Attack of the Show.
Let's just say Artie on his own was awesome, but when Olivia came out comic mayhem ensued.
This is the entire episode, so here's a cheat sheet. Artie comes on at about the 25:50 mark for a segment. Olivia is on for the segment following that and they play ping pong toward the end at around the 36 minute mark.



Since we're on the subject of Olivia Munn, the Nussie Hunter wasted no time suggesting her for today's spot. She looks absolutely amazing in that dress on the show. And I can't get "Sweet ass in your face" out of my head. She is absolutely funny as hell. And yes, she's also an absolute bombshell. Check it!
