(Josh, there was another adjective in there that I don't remember--do you?) But the thing is, they are winning in obscure, bizarre ways. No one has ever come back from 3-0 in a best of seven series in major league baseball history. And who wins two World Series games in a row with 4 errors a game? No one, that's who.

I disagreed that Don Johnson's Heartbeat was only voted the 35th worst song as it's clearly far, far worse than, say, the theme from Friends but...yeah. Bad.
