Who To Root For In The 2009 World Series?

Could it be any worse for Met fans? Probably not. I've had people ask me who I will root for: the Hated Phillies or the Hated Yankees?

It's a no brainer. I will root mightily for...Spontaneous Combustion . I can't explain it any better than they did in the Cult Classic Movie, This Is Spinal Tap :

Marty: Now, during the Flower People period, who was your drummer?

David: Stumpy's replacement, Peter James Bond, he also died in

mysterious circumstances...we were playing a...

Nigel: Festival...

David: Jazz-blues festival, where was that?

Nigel: Blues-jazz really.

Derek: Blues-jazz festival...

Nigel: It was in the Isle of, it was in the Isle of....

Nigel + Derek: Isle of Lucy.

Derek: Isle of Lucy.

Nigel: Isle of Lucy.

David: Isle of Lucy...jazz-blues festival...

Nigel: And....it was tragic really...he exploded on stage.

Derek: Just like that...he just went up...

Nigel: He just was like a flash of green light...and that was it,

nothing was left...

David: Look at his face .... it's true, this really did happen.

Nigel: Well, there was a little green globule on his drum seat.

David: Like a stain, really.

Nigel: It was a small stain, a globule, actually, and...

David: You know several...you know dozens of people spontaneously

combust each year, it's just not really widely reported.

Nigel: Right.
