Re: Which Team Do You Want To Win The World Series?
I'm a Red Soxs fan all the way but I'll actually be happy with anyone winning as long as it's not NY

Re: Which Team Do You Want To Win The World Series?
Actually i'd like to see the yankees take another three game lead and then lose the next four.
Preferably to the red sox.
Just like last year.

Nobody wants the Yankees to win, I'm kind of thinking their era is over.
Even though you are a Red Sox fan, you probably wouldn't mind the Red Sox stepping aside and letting a team that hasn't won a World Series since 1917, and not even made an appearance since 1959, win right? It would make an old ER who's heart was broken
in 59, a happy man

Re: Which Team Do You Want To Win The World Series?
That was a fantastic sox-yankees series last year. I want to see some more of that kind of baseball this year, no matter who wins ( well except yankees and atlanta)
Ottahere - Yes. I prefer they play all the games... all of them extra inningsOuttahere said:

Yep, it's a sad day in Beantown but there's always next year...unless Theo trades away the team like he did this year.
Go White Soxs!!

Re: Which Team Do You Want To Win The World Series?
I'm sorry Red Sox fans. I rooted for them last year after the Twins checked out. I'll miss seeing David Ortiz, but won't miss Manny.
I invite you to cheer on the other Sox this year.

I voted for St. Louis, but that's only because of Tony LaRussa. I could live with Houston, and the White Sox in that order. All of this is said with sadness; alas the Red Sox lost today. No pitching, what else is new?

Re: Which Team Do You Want To Win The World Series? Poll has been reset
There wasn't a choice for my pick: anyone but St. Louis (I'm stuck on the construction team building the new ballpark for the St. Louis Cardinals, and the sooner they go down in flames end the season, the sooner they can tear it down and start building the rest of the ballpark...and we've been reminded time and time again that "it will be done by opening day...come hell or bankruptcy high water".
Coincidentally, this project has been a sort of capstone for my construction career: it's the ultimate lesson in taking bs from the general contractor, putting up with my brother and brother-in-law, and dealing with the union plumbers...and it has opened my eyes to the fact that I want nothing to do with it long-term, which is why I'm finally completing my application to business school in January (was going for Fall 2005, but postponed it a semester).

The Da curse of the billygoat. http://www.dacurse.com/ I wished they hadn't put lights in at Wrigley, that's probably another curse.
The white sox and the cubs - the longest without....
I'm holding out hope that the cubbies will win in my lifetime, if not I hope my kids or grandkids get to see it. Been since 1908.wildcat said:

Peter - you really got a plate full. Good luck! It doesn't look good for the Padres, but things can change, look what happened to the Bosox last year...Peter76 said:

Ex-Jarhead - Cool! I like Kyle, he's been struggling of late, but I think he's got alot of potential - a 20 win kinda of guy.. He had a blowup with Gardenhire, but got patched up, so I hope they don't trade him. I do hope they trade Radke & Mays. Twins have a really great farm system, that's how they're able to compete, lot of good ones coming on board now. Sorry to see David go - was really important also in the clubhouse. I wished we could have kept AJ, but had to make way for Maurer. The payroll has been creeping up - the owner is a billionaire - but frugal like us - the way he got that way, He's about 90 - hope he sells to the Timberwolves owner - another billionaire that doesn't mind spending money to make money.
Yeah I was damn dissapointed too, had the family there game 4 to see the damn yankees against Santana - our bullpen gave them 4 runs in the eighth to tie and then gave them the win in the 11th.

Re: There's Always Baseball
But sometimes it's the adrenaline that get's the best results. I just have to thank the A's for pushing the Yanks back where they belong It was such a nice thing to wake up to this morning. As for my beloved Red Soxs... there's always next year.

Re: There's Always Baseball
My vote is for the White Sox. This coming from an avid Red Sox fan who traveled this summer to see the Red Sox play the Cubs in Chicago, the Devil Rays in St. Pete., and the Orioles in Baltimore.
I thought Camden Yards had the best park although my 9 year old son still loved Fenway the most. I guess he'll be one of those fans who would never want to see Fenway replaced.
Anyone have any votes for there favorite park that we need to visit?

Re: There's Always Baseball
1. Wrigley
Fenway
2. PacBell (Giants)
3. Coors Field
4. Milwaukee
5. Oakland
6. Fort Myers-Twins 8)
7. White Sox (had to pay $10 for someone to "watch" my car)
8. Detroit (same as above except it was $20, area seemed like out of Robocop)
9. MetroDome (Twins) - Don't travel out of your way for this. See it if you want to know how bad it can be - it is interesting though when the ball hits the ceiling or the other team can't see the ball
