I'll say the Diamondbacks will take it in 7 (actually, I'm hoping it'll go more than 4 games so that I can watch former Philadelphia Phillie Curt Schilling pitch one more time!).

I'm with SeanM: it would be too trite for New York to win. I noticed some of that triteness during the Miss America pageant, where both Miss New York and Miss Washington DC were finalists, though fortunately neither one won the crown. I say "fortunately" because Miss NY didn't sing well and because both of them answered some basic civics quiz-questions incorrectly.

Speaking of pageants, and of arrogance in nomenclature (such as the "World Series" for a North American baseball playoff), what about the "Miss Universe" pageant? I've never seen Miss Mars or Miss Neptune compete in it, much less Miss Alpha Centauri...
