Although my esteemed colleague and fellow columnist Mr. Schwab already is looking ahead to the upcoming basketball season, I would like to take one last look back at the now-finished baseball season that culminated in the World Series victory of the Rally Monkey -- I mean, the Angels. Despite threats of a strike and lockout that loomed over baseball like an ominous thunder cloud most of the summer, this season will have a lasting impact on the sport and one player's place in baseball history. Before elaborating, I would just like to mention that with Nostredamas-like foresight, I believe a certain Cavalier Daily columnist predicted the clash of titanic proportions that took center stage this past Sunday night: Rally Monkey vs.

ATLANTA, Ga. The Cavaliers, who before Saturday's game averaged more than twice as many points in the second half than in the first, seemed all set to write another miracle comeback script Saturday, but alas, it wasn't meant to be.
