What time is it? World Series time. The Yankees and Phillies duke it out starting tomorrow night and it should be entertaining. These are two teams that were arguably the top two in the league this year, and it showed in their strong pushes in the playoffs. I think this will be a drawn out series, and I think it will go to seven games. Who wins? I'm gonna go with the Phillies. However, the Yankees proved during the Angels series they can capitalize on errors, so the Phils will need to be on top of their game in every aspect. And if you want more Daily Collegian coverage of the World Series, read tomorrow's Collegian, which will feature a full page dedicated to previewing the World Series. Also, check back at MAKE PLAYS for continuing coverage and live blogs.

Some other things important and not so important:

- People are making a bit of a fuss over Mark Sanchez for eating a hot dog on the sidelines during the Jets' mauling of the Raiders. I don't see a problem. The man was hungry and wanted some Oakland fine dining.

- Mark McGwire is the new hitting coach for the St. Louis Cardinals. I won't say anything now, but if Skip Schumaker hits 40 home runs next year, something is wrong.

- And why stop at my Cardinals disdain? Look who has a twitter, the Cardinals manager himself. Looks like he caved in and got an account. Maybe it's because he wanted this one to actually be him.

Video of the week: Ever think you'd hear the name Rob Scuderi again? Neither did I. But the former Penguins fan favorite is "earning" the nice paycheck he got from the Kings in the offseason. Here he goes and takes out Blue Jackets' Jason Chimera's knees. No penalty was called, but you can imagine Chimera wasn't pleased, especially since he was covered in blood.

Dave Miniaci is a senior majoring in journalism and is the Daily Collegian's sports chief. He has previously been sports night chief and a sports copy editor. He has also covered men's rugby, men's track and field and field hockey. He is from New Jersey and is a big Devils fan and proud of both, and he doesn't care if you hold that against him.

Adam Clark is a senior majoring in journalism and is the Daily Collegian's sports editor. He previously covered fraternity and sorority life, crime and courts and was the Collegian's summer 2009 news/sports editor. His favorite athlete died on the last lap of the 2001 Daytona 500 and his favorite football team is coming off the worst six-year stretch in NFL history. He does hold it against Dave Miniaci that he's from New Jersey.

Dan Rorabaugh is a senior majoring in sports journalism and minoring in English. He is the sports copy desk chief, and was previously a reporter for the men's rugby, men's cross country, men's volleyball, women's soccer, women's basketball and men's lacrosse teams. Last year, the impossible dream happened - one of his favorite teams, the Phillies, won a championship. Now if only the Eagles could catch some of that magic, he might be able to actually find peace with sports.

Michael Oplinger is a junior majoring in media studies and political science and the Collegian's assistant sports copy desk chief. He previously covered the men's tennis and men's volleyball teams. Even though he enjoyed the Phillies' World Series victory, he misses the days of Jose Mesa and David Bell.

Eddie Gentile is a senior majoring in journalism and minoring in history. He works on the sports copy desk and previously has covered the women's tennis team, the Lady Icers and the Penn State baseball team. Gentile is your stereotypical Philly fan - he considers every game a loss until they actually win... and even then he'll probably still be moaning. Go birds.

David Rung is a senior majoring in journalism and minoring in kinesiology. He works on the sports copy desk and previously has covered the women's swimming team and the men's rugby team. Rung isn't as die hard about pro sports as his sports staff brethren from Philly and Pittsburgh, but he does take pride in being a Red Sox fan before the bandwagon started.
