TOPIC: Whom should Cubs and Sox fans cheer for in the World Series?

The Rays, if only to inspire Ozzie to start sporting a mohawk.

Rays! Best thing to hit Tampa since the minimum speed limit moved to 30.

The team that Spencer Tracey manages.

The Rays. So that in 2108 their fans can be haunted by 2008.

The Rays. Misery loves company, and Philadelphia’s is becoming legendary.

TOPIC: How would the World Series be different if the Cubs were in it?

Piniella would spend the entire series scouting retirement communities in Tampa.

Maybe we would be the city of Brotherly Love instead of Brotherly Shove.

My wife is a die-hard Cubs fan — she would be happy!

I don’t understand the premise of the question.

People would watch it. A Phillies-Rays yawner might actually drive me to hockey.

TOPIC: Make a prediction about the World Series.

Whichever team has the better lefties will win. And be branded socialists.

Cream cheese with bagels vs. hemorrhoids with bagels.

Tampa 4-1. Boston and the White Sox would beat Philly too.

I predicted Phillies in a sweep over the Rays two weeks ago, and I’ll stand by it.

The Rays will win, and the devil will request that the team reinstate his name.

TOPIC: Mike Singletary is the new coach of the 49ers. What’s his first move?

Install Coach Ditka as his Special Assistant for Shouting at the QB.

Standing in the way of more 49ers losses.

He must contact Coach Ditka, my friend, for pearls of wisdom from Da Coach.

Since the Bears won’t do it, bring back the Honeybears.

To suit up as a starting linebacker for the Niners’ sad defense.

TOPIC: Come up with a shorter way to refer to Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville.

Given the direction of the franchise: Coach “Que”?

Quenne B.

Quenny.

Temp.

Since the “Q” character is not in the new James Bond flick, Quenneville can use it.
