Playoffs.

So, just to recap... in round one of the baseball playoffs, I picked the following:

Twins def. Yankees
Red Sox def. Angels
Cardinals def. Dodgers
Rockies def. Phillies

Reality, however, disagreed with my predictions and I got EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE PICKS WRONG.

In the second round, I picked the following:

Angels def. Yankees
Dodgers def. Phillies

And, of course, the Phillies beat the Dodgers last night to advance to the World Series. And, OF COURSE, the Angels are down 3-1 in their series with the Yankees and could lose the series tonight.

My quandry: I would really prefer to see the Phillies (or anyone) defeat the Yankees in the World Series, but I do believe the Yankees have the better team. Should I pick the Phillies and hope I'm due for a win? Or do I learn from my complete and utter postseason prognostifail thus far and pick the Yankees, knowing that simply by choosing them to win, the baseball gods will swing the fate of the entire series against me?

Life is full of important decisions. This is one of them.
