Yanks, BoSox, Astros or Braves - NONE of them can hold the Cardinals' Jockey Straps (as the GREAT Ty Cobb would say)! I have been telling my Die Hard Red Sox uncle this since July! He will see. But wait, that team has to make it past the Yankees first - don't they!?!? The ONLY sad thing for me about the Cards winning it all this year is that McGwire couldn't still be playing for them! |

Just back from the game. I was already to take all of Sunday off to watch the Vikes and the Twins, but to my horror Juan Rincon had one of his worst outings of the year. hats off to the Yanks, they beat the best part of our team, the bullpen. I wouldn't get to high hopes yankees fans, Santana was not at his best and we should have won 3 out of 4. I see the Yankees winning one in the ALCS if they are lucky enough to get good starting pitching. The Twins had alot of hits off the Yanks and they aren't close to as good of hitters as the Red Sox. |

I was at Game 5 of the 1996 ALCS, Yankees-in Camden Yards. I was wearing my Yankee hat and jersey. 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. |

Lohse did a helluva job in his stint coming out of the pen. Twins fans forget had it not been for Lohse we would not have been in the playoffs in 2001 and 2002, especially 2002 when he carried the team in the middle of the year. If our sorry excuse for a manager had not had another brain fart and jerked Blanco with 2 outs and nobody on (yes I know Kubel hit a double, then died on base, instead of being used as a pinch hitter with men on base where he could have been effective), we wouldn't have had the oldest catcher in the history of baseball not shifting his body and trying to backhand everything with the winning runner on 3rd and costing us the game. Easy to see why no major league team the last couple of years wanted Pat Borders. Blanco had hit a home run and a single and yet was pulled. No way Blanco lets that ball get by him. You let Blanco hit with 2 outs and no one on. If there had been a baserunner in scoring position, I can see pinch hitting Kubel. As a manager, Gardenslug is a good coach. He pushed all the wrong buttons today and in the series. The Twins will never win a World Series with Gardo at the helm. |

Cardinals didn't look that unbeatable today against KC castoff Jose Lima. There is no series in sports better than the Yankees vs the Red Sox in the post season. My prediction is that the team that learns how to manufacture runs, not just hit homers to score, will win. Sheffield swinging so hard that he almost falls down with A-Rod on second, no outs, and the Yankees needing one run, won't do it. |

The Yankees draw fans when visiting other parks, but how games sell out when other teams visit? If there was some balance to the teams, races could be closer and teams wouldn't fade away the first month of the season. I would think this would be good for baseball and make more money overall. Or they could just go for the quick fix and add more wildcard spots and another round of playoffs... |

Hey Gary, no one is putting a gun to other owner's heads and preventing them from spending money to build a competitive team. BTW, the Yankees actually spend more than the $180 million since they have to provide handouts to all the low payroll teams. Also, when the Yankees come to town they bring big crowds into local ballparks which also enrich the coffers of these other clubs. I understand that some teams don't have the fan base and the TV revenue to support big payrolls. However, some like the Chicago teams, the LA teams, the Houston and Dallas teams, Red Sox etc do. Steinbrenner is a great owner because he wants to build a winning product. He spent money to make money. He is the best thing ever to happen to Yankee fans. I admire the Twins and the A's because on a small budget year in and year out they put a great product on the field. Hats off to their management. The teams that annoy me are the White Sox and the Dodgers who have a fan base and a TV base to spend big bucks to build a superior team and year in and year out still stink(Dodgers will be gone today). |

What made the Yankees great for this decade is the fact they had 5 great prospects of their own: Jeter, Williams, Petitte, Rivera and Posada. Where would the "Dynasty be without there likes on the team. |

I had always thought of the curse as being getting SO close, i.e. the winning game is in the bag and a they blow it big time, but I'm expanding my definitions. Making it handily through the first round of the playoffs and then getting destroyed by the Yankees in the Championship series is enough for me. The whole gist of the curse for me is that they NEVER win the World Series no matter what, and this certainly qualifies, even if it isn't as dramatic as say 1986. |

The Yankees pitching is suspect. Lieber pitched the game of his life in game 2. I wouldn't expect the same next time around. This is the weakest staff the Yankees have had in years and yet they're coasting to the World Series. Unbelievable. |

...it's an extra game of intense baseball we get to see. Last year's NLCS and ALCS might have been more of cliff-hangers, but this is still good baseball. The Red Sox just have to take it a game at a time, and put together a 4-game win streak. |

will be over if Boston wins a World series, not if they just beat the Yankees, although the red sox organization and its fans would love it none the less. In the '86 World Series they lost in 7 games to the Mets, in '75 they lost in 7 games to the Reds and the Yankees weren't even part of the equation. Its been 86 years since they won a World Series - will this be their year? |
