2008 WORLD SERIES CHAMPS

I'm a little worried that I have the exact same World Series Matchup as Erik Kuselias, but Drew Carey is going to be one happy mofo this fall. Indians over Mets in 6 games. But do not go to Vegas with this blog, I picked Tigers over Dodgers last year, neither got really close to the post-season.
