Common sense vs. the Law of Averages

The Bucs and ChiSox hook up for a business man's special this afternoon. Of course the storyline in this one is that Jose Contreras has won his last sixteen decisions while the Pirates are on a losing streak of two... no six... no twelve... BAKER'S DOZEN (I told you I was crazy 'bout these cupcakes, cousin). The law of averages says that Contreras will have to lose soon while the Pirates will have to win soon. Common sense tells us otherwise. So tune in this afternoon for common sense vs. the law of averages, Jose Contreras vs. Zach Duke, the Pittsburgh Pirates vs. the Chicago White Sox. If I were a gambling man, my money would be on common sense, Contreras, and the Sox, respectively.
