    2009 MLB Playoffs

    The one plus of the rain delay last night was more pregame show. If FOX had any sense they would drop the late NFL schedule entirely for two+ hours of World Series pregame.

    I was born in SF and went to college there, so that's where my loyalty comes from. That and going there for vacation as a kid many times during the summer. Yeah, I'm outnumbered here. My former college roommate is from Sonoma County, north of SF, but he and his dad are Doyers fans. Why? Because...
