A minor correction, Ebbie. "Taking the pennant" means winning the championship of the National League or the American League. The two teams that win the pennant compete in the World Series. And yes, I know it's not really a "world" series and I know that millions of people around the world, including many Mudcatters, don't care a fig about any of this. But hey, after all the cricket threads we've had... Besides, I'm a Phillies fan. But I'm very happy the Sox won.

Aloha,
