When Worlds Collide

So this blogger, who has gone only by the pseudonym "Poblano," has done some truly excellent statistical work in parsing the polls this election cycle (if you're not yet familiar, check it out).

Well, today Poblano finally announced his identity - and it's none other than Nate Silver of Baseball Prospectus fame. I was pleasantly surprised to find that out. It's just a very neat example of worlds colliding.

In other news...who do you like to win the Series this year? The Bosox, Cards, Cubbies, and Angels have all looked good this year - and who isn't rooting for the Rays these days? - but I have to say, Arizona's rotation would scare the be-Jesus out of me in a playoff series. Webb, Haren, Johnson, and Owings look like a seriously legitimate, championship-caliber rotation. And if any of them falters, Scherzer has looked pretty spectacular so far as well. If they can come up with enough offense, watch out.
