Site problems fixed... sort of (and my choice for the WS)

It appears I have fixed (through some diligent coding) the problem with the site. I believe it can now be seen on both Mozilla browsers (Safari, Netscape, etc.), as well as Internet Explorer. The poll looks quite dopey, but I'll probably get rid of the poll soon(a whopping 7 votes!).

Anyway, The Red Sox actually pulled off what is certainly the craziest thing I've seen in sports in a long-ass time. As well, the Cardinals won the best NLCS no one ever saw, pulling off an excellent win over Roger Clemens and the Houston Atros.

Backstory to funny story: I've been a White Sox fan my whole life, but I also love the Cardinals. In fact, there was a period where I switched my alliance to the Cardinals and liked them as much as the Sox (I don't know why, but I did). I had so much Cardinals stuff; it was insane. Anyway, my girlfriend at the time (who is now one of my best friends), her family has Cub season tickets: third row behind the Cub dugout. We went to many a Cub/Cardinal game with me wearing a Cards jersey and hat. I am an indiot.

I went to college and became much more proud of my town and more specifically, the Sox. So, I stopped following the Cardinals as much(Also, Cardinal fans calls th team "we" all the time. I find that really annoying.).

Anyway, the funny story is that she called me last night to congratulate me on the Cardinals beating the Astros. While I'm not as much of a fan anymore, I am really glad and I will be rooting heavily for the Cards in this series.

I like the Red Sox, and a great part of me really wants the Sox to win. Like I said, I love Ramirez, Pedro, Ortiz and Bellhorn. I like that Francona is an idiot. I like the front office.

Most importantly, I want the Red Sox to lose, if only because I'm tired of their fans whining. This is becoming the story in the media and I'm tired of it.

But, even more importantly, I want the Cardinals to win because I like the Cardinals. I like Pujols, I like Rolen, I like the self-proclaimed genius that is Tony LaRussa, I even like Tony "Catepillar" Womack (Did you know that he's got a Master's Degree? How cool is that?). So, go Cards.
