After the Yanks clinched, an Orioles fan got in my face and said, "I can't wait to see the Cardinals kick your ass in the World Series." You see, the Cardinals were up 3-1 on the Braves in the 1996 NLCS. But the Cardinals couldn't get it done and the Braves faced the Yankees in the World Series that year and the rest, as they say, is history. The moral of the story, for me anyway, is that when your team gets eliminated it's in your nature to want to say that the team that beat you will get eliminated soon, too. But really, the Twins should be rooting for the Yanks to go all the way so they can say they got beat by the best. At least, that's how I've always looked at it.
You just never know.
