the twins are still underdogs? isnt this their second consecutive division title? immediately following a strong 2nd place finish? hasnt the core of the team already been together in the majors for 3-4 years? and together even longer in the minors?

its nonsense like this that irks me. thw twins are NOT underdogs. if you want respect and credit for being a good team, you have to drop the underdog label. you CAN'T have it both ways.

they went to the ALCS last year. the a's, red sox and yankees DIDN'T.
THEREFORE, the twins are the FAVORITE this year. you hear me? the twins are the FAVORITE. theyre SUPPOSED to win. how do you like them apples?

i'm constantly amazed at how ridiculous baseball fans are when it comes to the yankees. they are no different than any other team. there are plenty of teams that have big payrolls and SUCK. its not just about payroll. and again, the yanks payroll is so high cuz they have 6 people with 4 rings and a few more with 1 or 2 or 3 and you have to pay for those rings.

also, maybe some of you clueless dolts will finally realize after seeing the dbacks and angels win the last two world series and then do nothing...how IMPOSSIBLE it is to win a world series, make the playoffs again the next year, and WIN THREE MORE PLAYOFF SERIES. (let alone three years in a row and 4 out of 5) the extra rouns of playoffs raise the bar of difficulty soooo high its insane. none of the dynasties of the past would ever have won as many series playing 3 rounds.The yankee team 96-00 is the best team of all time. this isnt a team to pick on or complain about but to revel in and enjoy. the same way great teams of the past are always fondly remembered. thats what this team deserves. not petty jealousy.

im sorry, but this thread was disgusting, and thew twins are the underdogs thing was the final straw. maybe theyll win the world series and be the underdogs again next year?

As I write this...

The Fish have eliminated the Giants.
The Cubs and Braves are tied with two games each.

The Yankees have a 2 games to 1 lead on the Twins.
And the A's have a 2-0 lead on the Red Sox, with game 3 a 1-1 tie in the 7th.

Having said that...
The Braves will probably win, then knock of the Marlins.
The A's and Yankees will advance (based on the fact that they're leading their respective series), with the A's getting to the World Series (because I have to go for the California team, and they're not the Yankees).

Oakland wins the thing, because the only time the Braves actually won the series, it was against the Indians (who I support in sickness and in health), and something had to give.

Baseball championships are won by pitching and defense........just like in football and basketball, your defense wins you the championship. Because when your bats (or shooting, etc) dose not show up, your defense all ways does, and it can keep you in games when you would otherwise lose.
Sure. The Rams, Broncos, and 49ers didn't win Super Bowls recently with great offense and average defense. That was only an illusion. The Braves haven't lost every World Series they've been to except one (admittedly to an Indians team that got there on offense). I must have been seeing things. The Bulls didn't win six NBA titles by relying on the best offensive player in the game, and the Lakers didn't win two that way either.
 

WhatKu said:
Wow. That was an astoundingly awful call in the Oakland/Atlanta game.
Okay, I'm confused. Did you mean in the Oakland/Boston game, the Atlanta/Chicago game, my projection of an Oakland/Atlanta World Series, or some Oakland/Atlanta contest I'm unfamiliar with?
 




Holy Cow is right! What is this poor Braves fan to do?

Guess I'll be a Cub fan for while. If they have to eliminate the Braves, they better go ahead and win it all.
