I'm a Yankees fan, so I'm rooting for the Yankees... but I don't know how far they'll get, they just haven't clicked well this year, so I won't be surprised if they stumble and don't win it this year. But I'd like them to at least make it past the Twins to play the Red Sox... and then see either the Yankees or the Red Sox go on to play the Cubs...
*Hopes it won't end up being a Minnesota-Florida series*

I haven't been following baseball that much the past few years (I know where the O's are going to wind up , so why bother? ) but I am hoping that both the Cubs and the Red Sox make it to the World Series. I want to find out who's curse is stronger.
Other than that, I don't care who's in the World Series as long as it's not the Yankees.

I'm a Yankees fan, but if they can't make it to the World Series, then I'd love to see Florida win it again. The Marlins have actually been a lot more exciting and fun to watch this year, because they're not always in it, and they're so sxcited and happy about it. Also, Marlins games tend to have more offense than Yankees games.
They make it in the playoffs every year, but never win, and so I want this to be their year. Plus, Javy Lopez is my favorite player, and he's having the best season of his career. It would just be wonderful if he could top it all off with a World Series win.
Oh, and I very much dislike the Yankees (sorry guys). I think it would be great if the Red Sox won for the AL.

Go Twins! I am SO hoping that the Twins beat the Yankees. The Twins are what baseball is all about. A good TEAM that plays with heart and has good pitching, good defense, and more precision hitting. I get tired of these owners that think they can buy a championship (Yankees / Lakers). Seems like most people count the Twins out since they have such a low payroll...well...they may not get paid the most but you get the most effort / dollar out of any team in baseball! If the Twins win tonight and get up 2-0 on the Yankees then the Twins will win this series for sure.

Since I live in MN, here's my arbitrary vote for the Twins. Even though they were never the same after Kirby Puckett retired. Posts: 4816 | Registered: Apr 2003

Let's go Marlins let's go! I'll admit that after '97 I never expected my team to come within half a season of the playoffs so to same I'm excited is an understatement. If Jeff Loria, the current owner, dismantles this team the tri-county area will lynch him.
quote:[Giambi] is the most prominent Yankee now without a championship, his postseason struggles becoming magnified, and he was booed thickly after whiffing in the fifth inning with two on and two out.
Giambi, the designated hitter, retreated to the clubhouse, where David Wells -- another member of the old guard -- approached him with a handful of magazines featuring clothing-free women, just trying to take the edge of Giambi. In the seventh inning, Giambi's two-run single capped a three-run rally. "I guess it works," Giambi said of the magazine treatment, "to help me relax."
Yes, Paul, that IS all you have to say about that. I married one of those broken-hearted(or, broken-haaahted) men myself. Actually, two of those men, since you married all Hatrack women.
They WILL win this year. My 7 year-old son will be heart-broken if they lose, and that cannot happen! Not another generation!

How come you're not online, Icky? I wanted to high five you.
Too bad the Cubs lost...I was rooting for them to finish it off tonight... (I can't STAND the Braves - and I absolutely loath hearing their tomahawk chop. )
I'll be on AIM later on . . . right now I'm still alternating between Hatrack and trying to be productive.

Not an FSU fan then are you, that's ok I'm not either. I prefer the Braves only because I want to replicate '97 and we do better against them.

The Red Sox are my second favorite team but I can't say I have any confidence in them. What may turn out to be ironic is if the Marlins lost to the Red Sox in the World Series. It would be especially ironic after seeing my second favorite team beat my favorite team in the Fiesta Bowl. I now hate that team that beat my team.
Go Marlins and at least for now Red Sox!!! Posts: 3446 | Registered: Jul 2002

Freaks.
Hey! I'm one of those freaks, Ic!! And if it's forty feet, it's probably a LOT more than a half-gallon...

This is the first year my husband has not said, "This is the year!" in almost twenty years of knowing him.
He thinks they will "sh** the bed" in the Series, even if they make it, because, though their hitting team is strong, their pitching team is not as strong, and pitchers win series'.(his words, paraphrased.
Still, because this is the only year he has ever said this, perhaps they WILL win.
Also, with Mars so close to Earth...

I've been a die-hard Marlins fan since I was ten. I was there when we won the World Series in '97. And after six years of frustration, rooting for the Marlins is finally fun again. The team I love is back.

OK, but if it is a giant's bottle of milk, and they use the same English measuring system as we do, then wouldn't it still be a half gallon? In "Giant?"
(sorry, a bit giddy after game...)

Curse of the Bambino or Curse of Game 5? Who will triumph? Probably Boston so that they'll get another oppurtunity to hate the Yankees. If that were to happen and Atlanta were to win then all four teams remaining would be from the East. Interesting.
