Trash TV or Hugh -- You Vote

Here's the deal I am going to make. I did not watch any of the first two games of the World Series. I am not watching tonight's game. But I really want to watch Roger Clemens pitch tomorrow night. I would be violating the rule I set about not watching the World Series. But it will most likely be Clemens' last game; and thereafter, the brushback pitch, let alone the inside speedball, will be lost forever. I want to see Roger sail one inside on Rodriguez, so that Pudge gets up and scowls. You all understand.

Or should I take the wife to see an advanced screening of "Love Actually" with Hugh Grant and everyone he's made it with the last few years tomorrow night, for which I have a free pass for two? I know she loves baseball, but would prefer to see the movie.

The polls close tomorrow at 6 p.m. ET. Roger or Hugh? You decide.

If you are as steadfast on not watching the Series, for whatever reason you chose, you should stick to your guns and not watch, being a man of his word and all...now if you were really a baseball fan (at all) you would already be watching the Series, regardless of who's playing and be wicked psyched you are gonna see one of the best pitchers in baseball (ever, HOF'er) pitch his last game (probably, but what good athlete really retires these days) and a World Series game to boot...me I say stick to your guns and do not watch seeing you were so adament about not watching in the first place

/go Fish! and it's all about Josh Beckett & Miguel Cabrera, two of the best young talents in baseball..

I've also said that I would not watch the World Series, but I am weak and couldn't resist. Clemens will go away, but Hugh Grant (sadly) will not.

Sorry, I don't mean to be a bad influence...

Oh yes. Stacey rules. Hugh.

Roger is one night only. Hopefully, for Hugh's sake, the movie will be around longer than that.

Tape the game and take Stacey to the movie.
