Dump Taken?

Just spotted one of Shank's CNN / SI columns in which he boldly declares that neither the Red Sox or Yankees will win the World Series. Here's the meat of it:

With three weeks left in the regular season, the Sox and Yanks think they're the chosen ones this year ... but there's one little problem. Postseason series are won with dominant pitching (remember the salami-bat Giants of 2010?) and -- for all their double-digit scoring and star-laden offenses -- the Red Sox and Yankees don't have consistent pitching beyond their No. 1 starters. That's why neither team is going to win the World Series this year.

In light of the Sox' current skid, I eagerly await the fire-breathing, vitriolic Globe column any day now...
