If the La-La Land Los Doyers lose the World Serious today, it might be a fitting end to the 10-yr. Kershaw Era; the Analytics Boys Upstairs can put a value on everything, and they’ve probably sussed out that, without beefroids in the picture, CK22 is not going to enjoy a Roger Clemens-type late-career ascent. Analytics Boys know the value of everything, and won’t pay anything over the line. Analytics Boys! And since it’s The End now, that means Zia, which has contentious affairs in Races 8 & 10. Los Doyers!
