Normally I have no interest in expert picks for sports events, because the truth is, your pet turtle has as good a chance of picking the World Series champion as Chip Caray does.
But I thought the list of World Series champion picks TBS sent today was interesting for one reason: The NL is getting almost no love at all.
It says one thing to me: Bet the house on the Diamondbacks.
(Ron Darling is not on this list. TBS still hasn't announced he is joining their roster for the Cubs-Diamondbacks series. They will do so any minute now, I guess. Yo, TBS, send an addendum with Ron's picks. He better pick the Phils.)
Chip Caray: Angels
Tony Gwynn: Yankees
Bob Brenly: Red Sox
Dick Stockton: Red Sox
Ted Robinson: Yankees
Steve Stone: Indians
Don Orsillo: Red Sox
Joe Simpson: Angels
Ernie Johnson: Indians
Cal Ripken Jr.: Red Sox
Craig Sager: Cubs
Joe Mota: Angels
Marc Fein: Indians
David Aldridge: Angels

Neil - effective immediately Time Warner cable has made the following programming changes:
1.TBS HD debuts on Ch 708
2.YES HD moves from Ch 708 to Ch 730
3.NHL Network debuts on Ch 458. NHL Network is jointly owned by TSN and NHL and is based out of Toronto. The catch is the channel is not free. Its part of the digital sports tier which costs $2.00 per month but also includes NBA TV, CSTV, Tennis Channel, FUEL, and three channels from FOX College Sports. NHL Network is also going to be airing live regular season games on Friday nights and select Sunday nights.
Thanks, Jeff. I've been hearing about this NHL Network thing. Have to look into it more.
Don Orsillo picked the Red Sox. Hey, how 'bout that?!?!
