Now that my Angels won it last year, I'm not so worried about the playoffs. I'd love to see a Cubs/Red Sox series just to see how they'd both end up losing the series somehow.

As over Red Sox in 4.
Twins over Yanks in 3.
Giants over Marlins in 5
Cubs over Braves in 4

As over Twins in 6
Giants over Cubs in 5

As over Giants in 7.

What I'm hoping for: Giants Vs. A's, and San Francisco's first World Series win.

What I fear most in this world: Braves Vs. Yankees, and I decide to watch Nova on PBS or Survivor instead.

As for the Cubbies, they'll find out why Dusty Baker needs to take a vacation every October, and let someone else handle coaching duties come playoff-time.

But I'm not bitter! Noooooo, not by a long shot!

All I gotta say- YANKEES SUCK!!

Red Sox over Cubs in 7!!!

Mass hystaria erupts in boston...city burns to the ground! Red Sox are left with no home and bought out by George Steinbrenner for double what they were being paid in Boston. He then fires all the loosers that currently call themselves yankees starting with that second rate hack shortstop jeter (who swallows by the way)!

RED SOX 03!!!!

Yankees burn. Yankee go home. "But we earned it within the system" - BAH!!! You bought it. Burn burn burn. Fraggin piece o' dung. Gad hate Yankees. Who do I want to win? I want there to be 29 world series with the yankees losing every friggin single one of em. All the other teams get one. Sick of announcers crooning and swooning "Ohhhh the house that ruth built" Burn it down!! "Curse of the Bambino" Get an exorcist! "We love Jeter" - over-friggin-rated. "But he's so cute in those comercials with Steinbrener" - play ball not comercials. "They've played hurt all year they're truly warriors" - And? That's why their salary is huge they can afford other players. And finally Georgie Porgie - Bite me.
Ok.... Breathe....
In case it wasn't completely obvious I'm a Red Sox fan. Grew up as a Yankee hater. So I'm rooting for the Sox. But honestly I'll be real happy within anyone but Yankees or Braves winning. I like when new teams win. All the other teams really have a story behind them. The only story for the yanks is - "Look we paid them enough to win the series".
And yes I know the BoSox ain't far behind in payroll.
Must control twitching fists, no punch monitor. Calm happy thoughts.

Red Sox. Please. I was 11 years old in 1986 and I was almost over it before the 1999 ALCS (he as safe!). Please.

I've already told my fiancee that I NEED to be in Boston for any potential WS-clinching game.

See, what you guys don't realize is the the Detroit Tigers are gonna win it. They have the best record out there..... opps wait a second. I forgot I have dyslexia. Too bad they were a loss short of tying the worst all-time baseball record. We can never do anything right

You'll never catch the Mets! Bwah ha ha ha! Oh, wait...


Anyway, as a lifelong Mets fan, as long as it isn't the Braves or Yankees, I'll be happy.


A World Series matchup of either Cubs/BoSox or Giants/Yankees would be the making of a great 2003 WS.

Go Braves!!

It's funny, but they're tied for the best record in baseball, yet few give them a chance. Probably because they've lost, what, 4 world series in the last 12 years? At least they've won one.

I had to suffer through the 80's with the Braves. I'd sure like to see them win one more.

If not them, then I'm pulling for the Twins (my long-time AL team).

Red Sox

Life-long Sox fan.

We've lost 8 straight againts the A's in the playoffs. One ghost exorcised.

We never beat the Yankees. Two ghosts exorcised.

Cubs-Red Sox in the World Series. Well, someone's got to win it. Third ghost exorcised.

Red Sox Win!

 

[Alaska Roberts]

Go Cubs!!!! Damn I don't think I've ever been this hopeful before, they usually suck so bad it's not even worth thinking about past June. Please oh Please let them make the series.
