Yanks in 3. I'm a big Twins fan but let's be real, we start guys like Tolbert, Harris and Punto. As long as the Angels beat the Yankees and Torii gets a ring, all will be right.

Twins are going to get smoked. Hopefully the dodgers win it all but I know they won't.

Here's my order of preference:

1. Twins beat the Yankees and then I'm torn over the Twins beating Ortiz or Hunter, then win the World Series.
2. Angels win the World Series so Hunter gets his ring.
3. Dodgers beat the Yankees in the World Series so Joe Torre can take a giant dump on George's new field. Hopefully the Series clincher happens in New York.

If one of those three things can't happen, then I don't give a rip who wins, as long as it's not the Yankees.

It's pretty funny reading Flynn's twitter, people are pissed because he's a Yankee fan.

He was born and raised in Niagra Falls. Like actually in the falls. His family lived in the cliff behind where the water fell. Poor cell phone coverage, but Comcast hooks him up with internet.

I don't follow Baseball but I wish the Twins best luck. I don't like sports teams coming from NY that have a way to high payroll :lol:

I always find it more enjoyable rooting against a team with a big payroll. Yes, I'm one of those many Moneyball disciples, and its a shame how the MLB system allows you to buy your way into the play-offs. If I glance at the scores, I'm always happy to see NYY, NYM, and BOS all lose.

New York Yankees $201,449,189
New York Mets $149,373,987
Chicago Cubs $134,809,000
Boston Red Sox $121,745,999
Detroit Tigers $115,085,145
Los Angeles Angels $113,709,00
Philadelphia Phillies $113,004,046
Houston Astros $102,996,414
Los Angeles Dodgers $100,414,592

nobody likes baseball. A few people try in vain, but basically just comes down to a circle jerk between Red Sox and Yankee fans with a few Dodger, Cub, White Sox, and Cardinal fans sadly trying squeeze in.

so true Devilz. Baseball's economics are bad. The NFL does it the best.

between the Jankees & the Mets that's 350M in NY player salary. Florida was at 21M last year.

NY metro has 19M people. That's almost as many people as the metro areas of MSP, Kansas City, Cleveland, Oakland, Seattle, Baltimore & Tampa combined.

This might be the most useless collection of stats ever. What are you trying to say with those numbers? :-)

damn, look at the bottom 3, thats outrageous - A-Rod makes over 30% more a year than Pittsburgh's entire team payroll. Baseball is such a sham

I was happy when I found out Justin was healthy and could play in the playoffs. I was even more excited when we beat NYY in game two.

But then I woke up...I then looked on MLB.com to see if it was a dream and it was.

Oh well, Minnesota is up by 1

Edit: Whoops, I got tired of NYK so much I wrote their name instead of NYY

Foul? One of the worst calls ever...the ump was 10 feet in front of it.
