    I'll try to hide my smiles, but the Yankees are out of it. I'll reiterate my stance on rooting for the White Sox. Its difficult, because they used to play the Brewers all the time when I was growing up so my teams were Brewers and Cubs,(still are despite division change). I'll root for Chicago as I would for the underdog.

    ok ok hmm i have to semi agree with you samercury but the other way around if the yankees arent going to win then at least the red sox arent either.
    My hubby says that its my fault that the yankees keep losing. Every since we have been dating they have lost. he jokes and says he will divorce me if they lose again (which they did and he didnt)
    Trying to forget someone you love is like trying to remember someone you have never met.

    Yes, that's true. I'm more into soccer and hockey, but I'm still always happy when Yankees lose. My parents live very close to Fenway, and I went to Kenmore Square when Red Sox won at first against Yankees and then the World Series. Actually the celebration after Yankees victory was much bigger.

    Welcome back Papaya. I haven't seen you in a bit. I guess you would say the same thing about my poor Baltimore Orioles.

    I have been waiting expecting the Tigers collapse all season, I didnt think there was any way this would continue and when they went something like 19-37 towards the end of the season I thought it had come, then they beat the Yankees , Kenny Rogers somehow figured out how to pitch in the postseason, and are now good and rested to face whoever wins in the NL, looks like Detroitt is gonna win after all (which means I'll need to put up with the annoying SW Ontarians from Windsor etc going on about the Tigers all winter ).

    I'm still hoping the Mets will pull something off although it looks unlikely, Maine could be a hero tonight and redeem himself. Anyways, I have to agree it looks as though the Tigers will take it this year.

    Virg, Higley, although we've gone over this before, I feel your pain with my poor Bosox.

    Traditionally, I've always hated the Mets and I certainly do not want to see them win the World Series, but I love this guy:



    Julio Franco: still playing baseball at the incredible age of 48 years old. And not just playing the game, but playing it pretty darn well.
