Inane Query Letter of the Week #4
Before I get into this week’s installment of the Inane Query Letter of the Week, I promised to wrap up my baseball predictions yesterday. Clearly, I forgot. So here’s the lowdown on what’s gonna happen in this year’s baseball playoffs.
NATIONAL LEAGUE
Marlins over Dodgers – LA benefits from the weakest division in baseball (and an injured/sulking Barry Bonds) while Florida is tested in one of the best. After the Marlins end the Braves’ 13-year stranglehold on the division, they won’t let down their guard for the overmatched Dodgers.
Astros over Cardinals – Rematch of last year’s NLDS pits the NL Central rivals against each other once again. As the Sox proved in the World Series last year, this Cardinals team can be beaten a great pitching three-man rotation. Houston (Clemens-Pettitte-Oswalt) has just such a rotation. Advantage: Astros
Marlins over Astros – Florida’s young lineup has the skills to match up with Houston’s pitching. The real question is how the Marlins will deal with not being the ultimate underdogs for once.
AMERICAN LEAGUE
Angels over White Sox – I said it in my initial column on the AL and I’ll say it again: The Angels could be trouble for somebody in October. They may have the best lineup in the AL top-to-bottom and will have more than enough firepower to overwhelm the just-glad-to-be-here Sox. The Chicago Curse continues as the Rally Monkey gleefully dances on the bodies of the dead.
Red Sox over Yankees – If there’s one thing that last year’s ALCS and this week’s series has proven, it’s that Mo Rivera’s continued dominance over the American League does not extend to the Red Sox, against whom he has blown four straight save opportunities leading to three Yankee losses and one World Championship for the Sox. Do you realize that Rivera was BOOED AT YANKEE STADIUM on Wednesday when Torre took him out? This guy is the nail in the coffin for three World Series winners and eight straight division winners and he gets booed! Think Celtics fans ever woulda done that to Larry Bird if he went 1-15? Think Niners fans would have ever done that to Montana if he threw four picks? Well, on the upside, at least Jason Giambi got a standing O. Idiots.
Red Sox over Angels – Like last season’s ALDS, this series will come down to pitching. Assuming, by October, the Sox rotation looks like this: Schilling, Clement, Wells, Miller; and the Angels’ looks like this: Colon, Washburn, Escobar, Lackey; where would YOU be leaning? Me, I’m siding with the champs.
WORLD SERIES
Red Sox over Marlins – Like you DIDN’T know!
And now, on to the reason you’re all here. Thanks to a recent LA transplant from northern Ohio (note the Hollywood address and the (330) area code on the cell phone) for contributing to this week’s feature. Without the sweet sweet lubrication of your naïve ambition, the rusty wheels of Hollywood would surely screech to a halt. Welcome to Los Angeles, young sir! Prepare to be harvested:
Picture America's favorite video games. Everyday, millions of video game characters die for our entertainment. Well, now they're pissed. Imagine what they would do, if they had access to our world. Guess what, they do. Now, one of us must enter their world, to confront them before they confront us.
BLADES OF AMBITION is an original fantasy adventure that follows a typical college student's pursuit of his dream girl. Learning that she's actually a video game character, he is persuaded to journey into her fictitious world. Little does he know, she has chosen him to lead a group of eleven against an army of ten thousand.
My writing credits include workshops by Syd Field, (Beyond Structure) with David S. Freeman, and consultations with Pilar Alessandra (DreamWorks, Amblin, Interscope, and Image Movers). I currently have two feature screenplays available, and I'm working on my third.
Please let me know if you'd like to read the script. Thanks for your consideration.
