Yeah.. well hope Marlins closes them out in game 6.

I listen to the games at work. But there is no work this weekend. I am hoping for a long day of football on Sunday followed by a Game 7. Yankee Stadium hasn't hosted a Game 7 in the World Series in my lifetime so I really hope there is one. I know most folks hate the Yanks but a Game 7 would do baseball even more good that it already has this post-season. Ratings are up for the first time in 4 years for the World Series. Time to take back the Nation Pastime where it belongs.

For the record, I made this call before the two League Championship Series'.

WAY TO GO MARLINS!!

Dimwhit, good call.

and an Awesome series!

Very entertaining Series. Hats off to the Marlins, they played better in the clutch. I'm dissappointed in my Yanks who I believed were the better team. Heads are gonna roll in Steinbrenner land...

JC, agreed. I am sorry for you that your team lost. You’re a cut above the rest.

I think Tore (spelling?) is ready to move on he's lasted longer than I think any Yankee manager has since I've been alive and you know working for Steinbrenner has to be a hard life.

Great play by Marlins and Beckett. Their D was outstanding. Great game and series!

Thanks, man. I kept coming back to this thread because of the interesting baseball talk.

He'll probably be back unless he is fired. One more year left on his contract. I hope he is back, personally.

the funny thing is, ive always been following a thread on a fantasy baseball mesage board and the blame of the yankees as everything thats wrong with baseball is STILL going on, even though the yankees havent won in three years.

oh well.

So it makes their next victory all the more sweet.

Seeing as how you're from Brooklyn, this next part is not meant to be personal. Just thought I should warn.

For my opinion, I have nothing against the Yankees, seeing as how I don't particularly like baseball (though I did watch the WS). However, I do have a beef with the fans of the Yankees. Mainly, that they get all hysterical over the game. A game. Seriously, if you're gonna be praying to gods in the middle of a game, and start crying when they lose... you've gotta back off. It's just a game.

To be fair, I have the same problem with Red Sox fans (I have lots of friends that go to college at BU). Well, really I have issues with all fans, in all sports, that are like this. But being from New York (and yes, there is more state than just NYC

), the Yankees are who I hear about the most.
