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.

the funny thing is , i was just telling a twins fan how defense is over-rated. and the yanks gave up 3 runs on nothing but bad defense.

oh-well. these things happen.

Well, growing up I moved alot. But I lived either in Minnesota or a state bordering it. So, I totally belive its time that the Minnesota started winning things again.
New York has had plenty of wins in the past few years. Go Twins!!!

Mark one down for the Cubbies! As for Atlanta, you gotta love how they can't even fill their stands during the playoffs! Such devotion! No wonder their much-lauded offense couldn't get the job done last night...

Wait and see what happens when they go to Wrigley, the Braves will be too stunned with learning what real fans are like to possibly win; they'll just lie down and cry.

Cubs fans are the greatest fans in the world, period.

baseball championships are NOT won on defense. its pitching and clutch-hitting.
if youre pitching is on, bad defense will only cost you a run a game.
if the yanks werent 1-10 in with RISP yesterday, they still woulda won their comedy of errors.

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.

If you hate the Yanks so much, why is your whole post about them?

Love 'em or hate 'em, they dominate all. You will bow to them. You have no perception of baseball that does not include the world-famous Yankees. Wow, that must really burn you Yank-haters...

...the jealousy, I mean.

Go Yankees!

World Series

I hope the Red Sox win it all but that's highly unlikely with the trouble they always get from the Yankees.

Boy the Giants really blew that one, stranding like 18 men on base and making tons of errors. Oh well.. Go As!

Go Cubs...

Gotta go with the Twinkies here people. And not just because I live in Minnesota and go to school at the U of Minn (maybe it is). Its because the Twins are the ultimate underdogs. Young team, low pay, constantly told that they are crap by the White Sox... but we spanked 'em. Go Twinkies!

The Giants have a superb history of putting a game in their pocket only to have it snatched away at the last second. Last year was heartbreaking. Is this one going to be any different?
