Who will win the World Series?

[Doylerulez]

I like my Yankees, but I'd like to see the Cards pull this one out.

[hutno]

Redsox all the way

[smellhasreturned]

Red Sox

Yankees Suck wooo

[ryanbph]

I think the sox or the astro's....the yanks starting pitching is very weak, with a tired bullpen...they have solid offense...but we so what happens last year to the yanks when you go up against a team with better pitching

[CaseyRyback]

the fuckin Cubs lost, so I guess I will go with the Red Sox.

[smellhasreturned]

had to bust out these pictures

[Weedy649]

Yankees all the way^^ I could make a red sox comment like smellhasreturned but im not like that....besides us yankee fans tend to have more class then that(lol jk)

[dustyeff]

Twins are gonna take the Yanks down. Sorry, bandwagoners! Go Twinkies... Johan will carry us to glory.

[dcfox]

I can see the Sox going as far as the ALCS, but that's about as far as they're going. Yankees will make it to the World Series but I don't see them winning it either.

[epobirs]

I'm going to go out on a limb and predict that the Series will be won by a baseball team. More specifically, a team playing for either the American or National Leagues.

Furthermore, I predict that in the home town of the winning team there will be many grossly out of shape people whose sole relation to the players is by species, if that, who will run around shouting "WE WON!"

[Weedy649]

I love how people always assume fans of a winning team are bandwagoners lol. My dad grew up in new york and im a new york fan born and raised. My teams are the knicks, jets and yankees and will always remain to be the same. Heck i even pick the jets in madden 05! Im 2-9 vs those eagles and patriots that everyone started picking all of a sudden.

[xxdeadp0olxx]

Red Sox!

[Gothic Walrus]

Tigers!

Hey...you didn't say that it had to be this season. :wink:

In any case, this reminds me of a story. A poster on GameFAQs said that the Red Sox will win because they've got Jesus on their side. If history is correct, then:

Babe Ruth > Jesus

Really...when was the last time you've heard someone complain about losing games because of the Curse of Jesus?

[Xevious]

I guess I wouldn't mind seeing the Cardnals or the Red Sox win it. I dont want to see the Braves or the Yankees win.

[Wshakspear]

Tigers!

I wish i was old enough in 84 to actually remember the whole damn series, not just the last game...

[dafoomie]

5-0 Redsox... Whos idea was it to start Washburn in game 1? He just got taken out in the 4th.

Check that... 8-0 Redsox. Manny just drilled a 3 run home run.

Only reason Anaheim made the playoffs is because Oakland completely choked.

thats an awesome pic

and I think I am going to take a nap. This game is getting boring fast

[thestuff]

'Stros. We gotta win one eventually, right?

[onetrackmind]

definetly the cards!

[Moxio]

Red Sox! 8)

[cyberlian]

the braves will because this is the first year they are really underdogs

[sblymnlcrymnl]

I voted for Houston, but I'm not really sure why.

[tornadomann]

I predict the cards will

[Rich]

Let me guess, it's the Red Sox' year? Just like the past 86 years, right?

I'm a yanks fan, but i'm gunna have to say St Louis or Houston.

[Xevious]

Who will win the world series? Its the team with the most steroids! Thats who!

[rajchakrabarti]

suprised with all the sox votes... but what makes this year any different ? they are cursed and its the same agony every october. At least chicago fans get thier let down early.

[starman9000]

You just jumped on the wagon at a really young age. Or were dropped there by your folks.

[tcrash247]

My team is the Cardinals so of course I'll say them. No I'm not a frontrunner, I've liked them my whole life. My favorite all time player is Ozzie Smith and my favorite current player is Jim Edmonds. If anyone says I'm a frontrunner, I whip out my 1996 Division Champs hat. Who else has one that isn't a true Cardinals fan? Go Cards!

[fieldkillah]

Red Sox

[wingstriker04]

Braves!!!!!!!

Yea as a New England Pats fan who lives out of the area I always get funny looks when I wear my Tom Brady jersey. So I have to explain to people that I'm originally from the area. I would have never guessed in the early 90s that i would have to defend myself from claims on being a bandwagon jumper. As far as the post is I hope the Sox finally get that ring but I think the cardinals are going to be hard to beat. Although I think our pitching gives us a slight advantage so I'm going with my sox.

[maccabee72]

I grew up in New York as a Yankees Fan, and I have lived outside of Houston for the last seven years, slowly leaning towards the astros. Although, I still love my Yankees, I'm a baseball fan first, and I think it would be such a sweet baseball story to see the Rocket close them out in Game 7 of the world Series....or even the rocket to finish his career against Boston with a world series victory.

Go 'Stros!!!....The Hottest team in baseball heading into the playoffs!!

[killswitch64]

Since my Cubs didn't make it to the playoffs, I can only hope for the Red Sox!

[JebusMcLucifer]

I'm goin' with the 'stros. Although we won't make it past the Braves.

[Bann]

I'm a huge Twins fan. It was nice to see them take down the evil empire tonight, even though I doubt they'll win the series.

[alpo845]

<img src="http://www.osmar.net/images/RedSoxBelieve2.gif" />

[Zman310]

As long as it's the Red Sox and the Twins are in the ALCS, and the winner of that wins the Series, I'll be happy. I love the Twins since they're my home team and all, but if they lose to the Sox I won't be disappointed. And I think that the Sox have the best chance of winning it all. Finally!

[Zenithian Legend]

hell ya SOX win this vote, break that "curse" although I'd much rather the Cubbies do it.

[dafoomie]

The only "curse' the Redsox had this year was Nomar.

Thank god we unloaded him on the Cubs... How did that work out for them again?

[redgopher]

Me, on my Dreamcast.

[jntznjamz]

red sox vs astros world series

[Hereticked]

GO RED SOX!!! 8)

[Zenithian Legend]

The sox are officially the CAG darlings of this year's playoffs.

[BigDirty]

I'm going to go out on a limb and say the Dodgers will bring the Series to Chavez Ravine.

Its almost a sure thing that whatever team wins the NL pennant this year will take the series.

[BigDirty]

[craven_fiend]

The Sox will win it this year, and if it wasn't for Pedro staying in too long in the ALCS last year, they could be the defending champs, but hey who knows. I do know they are going to be in the world series, and it is even more likely if the Twins take care of the Yanks, although the Sox are on the road the whole post season except for the series. Also, as long as the Yanks don't win, I'll be happy, but I still think Boston has the best shot.

[MorbidAngel4Life]

Tigers!

Hey...you didn't say that it had to be this season. :wink:


I was going to say something to the same effect when I saw this topic! Ya never know, it might happen soon. We just need Urbina back. Can't believe he had to leave because his mom was kidnapped. That sucks for both him and the team.

[Rig]

Go Boston!

[Weedy649]

Man how did i get "dropped on the bandwagon" not everyone is the same age you know. The braves were top game for a while before the yankees came back and i still was a yankee fan not a braves fan and if you read what i wrote im a new york team fan including being a die hard jets fan..if you call the being a bandwagoner...shame on you

[x0thedeadzone0x]

Wow, so many votes for the red sox! I mean, they're a good team and all, but they haven't won since... 19 something. Guess everyone's forgotten about the curse of the bambino?

[Mookyjooky]

I'm betting on the Bad News Bears

[ramatut4001]

We're gonna win, Twins,
We're gonna score.
We're gonna win, Twins,
Watch that baseball soar!

We're gonna win, Twins,
Shout out hip hooray,
Cheer for the Minnesota Twins today!

Damn Right!

Twins all the way, that would be great to witness a world series at the metrodome seeing as how i was only 2 when they had theyre last one here. but with Johan Cytana and Radke and great defense I think we might have a shot.

[johnnyoski]

Tigers!

We need ALOT more than Urbina before that will happen.
At least they resembled a major league team this season, but the pitching and defense have a ways to go.
Back to the original subject, I will probably rooting for a Twins-Cards WS with St. Louie winning it all.

[NeueZiel]

Go Red Sox!! \:D/

Although I hate the Yankees I actually hope they beat the Twins just so we can see another Red Sox Vs. Yankees showdown

[Hunter55]

If the question is who will win the world series, yankees obviously, but if you want to know who I want to win the world series, thats anoter story. Yankees always win, its just what they do. They make baseball boring.

[craven_fiend]

Haha, the resident Red Sox caveman makes an appearance on the topic. Now if they make it to game 6 of the series and whoever is playing first in the late innings of the games and a ball goes by them, they truly are cursed. And if it Mienkevitz(?)(one of the better defensive 1B) then it would suck worse.


But yeah GO SOX!!

[craven_fiend]

No one is guaranteed to win the series, just look at the yanks last year. they had better pitching last year and they still didn't win it all. I'd take Clemens, Pettite, and Wells any day of the week over Mussina, Leiber, and Brown. Sure they have the hitters, but without pitching, they won't win.

I can guarantee one thing about the winner of the world series, it won't be a repeat of last year.

[starman9000]

Shame on me? For your lack of a sense of humour?

[1SwtDeception]

Not into baseball but gonna support the hometeam.. GO TWINS!

[Bann]

Great game on ESPN right now, Twins and Yankees going into the 11th tied at 5.

[tyecko]

yeah this is insane game, if the twins win tonight i guarantee they will win the series

[dustyeff]

I'm goin to the game Friday at the Dome. I'm pumped. Let's hope it's the 'sweep' game. :)

[Bann]

Hell Yeah! Hunter hits a home run to put the Twins up 6-5 in the 12th.

[jlarlee]

Nothing like jinxing you asshats god I hate the yankees

[smellhasreturned]

How Sweep it is

Sox win the series

[doraemonkerpal]

i'm rooting for the dodgers or angels... although that seems highly unlikely the way things are going :(

[craven_fiend]

That didn't look like it was going out at first, looked like a routine pop up, but hey its good to see that they'll have a few days rest. yanks will probably win tonight, with santana beating them tomorrow and then game 5 in NY on monday.

[Rich]

How Sweep it is

Sox win the series

God job on trying to be witty...by reading one of the signs at Fenway.

[smellhasreturned]

i know :)

[CaseyRyback]

the game tonight was amazing. When Guerrero hit the grand slam I thought it might end up shifting the momentum of the series.

[Doylerulez]

One could only have hoped. Boston fans are riding way too high w/ the BoSox and Patriots playing so well.

[dafoomie]

http://home.comcast.net/~dafoomie/monkeysweep.jpg

Hope the Twins-Yankees series goes 5 games, would like to play the Yankees in the second round, would be a great series, and the metrodome is awful.

[CaseyRyback]

poor rally monkey

[Bann]

That rally monkey looks pissed.

[dafoomie]

That was him watching the Ortiz HR.

[jlarlee]

I about fell off my couch when vlad hit that grandslam, but putting th epieces back together and pulling this game out showed a lot of character

Yea but how ironic would it be for it to go seven games and then have Ortiz hit another walkoff? You may actually see the twins owner strangle the GM on live TV.

[dafoomie]

I'm worried the Yankees won't even get past the Twins. They have absolutely no pitching at all. Did I hear right that Vasquez will start tomorrow?

[jlarlee]

IMO they should throw out their worst pitcher vs Santana and then run out Moose for game 5 if there is one. Hernandez has a dead arm so the Yanks are running out of choices

[Bann]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the Twins can win Saturday with Santana at home, no matter who the Yankees start.

[dafoomie]

I dunno how they won with Brown though... All the Twins have to do is bunt it to the pitcher, make him field the ball with his broken hand.

Best case scenario is that the Twins win tomorrow, and the Yankees win Sunday. Their pitching staff will be so far gone, and ours will have had 3 days off.

[tyecko]

I gotta do a lil braggin if i may

Tonight (Friday) I was at the twins game and my dad got these amazing seats from his work, it was like an extra section sticking out from the field just for the playoffs where they have the espn cameras and ur like 2 feet away from the batters warming up. So first I walk to my seat and Kent Hrbek, (great twin from like 81-94) sits down but wont sign anything, then i couldnt believe it, in front of me sits Rod Carew, Harmon Killebrew, and Tony Oliva ( great twins from 61-78) and I mean Killebrew and Carew are in the hall of fame and Olivas really close. So anyways I end up getting my hat signed by Killebrew and Oliva!

Yep I am hoping for a game five that goes extra innings.

[dracula]

the red sox are the hottest team in the AL now, and the astros are the hottest NL team. dunno if they both win the pennant or not, but they are my picks now

[smellhasreturned]

i forgot all about that damn monkey

[Cornfedwb]

45 people said the Red Sox?? Wtf is wrong with you people? I have nothing against the Sox, but after years upon years of imploding.. how can you ever bet on them?

Btw, the Astros are currently at 6 to 1, probably your best money for those that are interested.

[JohnnyDrama]

Cardinals will win

That's cool! Did they get mad when the Twins started getting smoked, or were they calm?

[karsh]

I'd love to see the Cards win the series. Edmonds is one of my favorite current players, and I'd love to see him win.

And if you wanna talk about people calling you a bandwagoner, you should've seen what I went through when the Pats won the first Super Bowl. Now, I had been a Pats fan since they drafted Drew Bledsoe, and even still own an old school, bright blue Bledsoe jersey. But of course, since I live near Philly, everyone calls me a bandwagoner, cause no one could possibly not like the Eagles and like the Pats instead. I think some people still think I'm a front runner. That's when I break out the old Bledsoe jersey and be like "What now?"

[Monsta Mack]

I believe this is the year of the sox. They got the right team this year. It's a matter of getting past those damn yanks!

[uesc]

go cards!

They were pretty calm, Carew seemed into it and then he left after the 6th when it was like 7-1 but Killebrew and Oliva didnt seem to po'ed and Hrbek seemed alright. I'm pretty sure Oliva doesn't speak any english though lol.

[Doylerulez]

Yankees-Red Sox...again. I wonder who's favored to win. Oh wait, Boston's at 38% to win it all, geez.

[gameguy22006]

I can't believe the Twins just lost.

[Mr_hockey66]

Baseball Sucks major ASS! Its more boring then golf! I don't see how basball is still around. Every game if you look out in the stands there are hundreds of seats availble. How can they afford to pay these players so much money when noone goes to see a game? Pluse like hockey there are way to many games played. Maybe if they lessened the games more would go see them. Like the games mattered like in football one loss could kick your sorry butts out the playoffs!

Depends on which games you watch. If you turn on an Expos games yeah you're going to see tons of empty seats. But turn on a game in a large market like New York or Boston, every seat will be packed. The Red Sox for example sellout pratically every home game. And for a Yankees and Red Sox game good luck trying to get tickets. Baseball teams also make revenue by advertising in the ball parks and merchandise sales. Also I know both the Yankees and the Red Sox have both the YES network and NESN where you would have to subscribe to their cable channel in order to watch all the games.

[CaseyRyback]

there is also revunue sharing in baseball now.

I love baseball and hate the fact I live in a city with no team (exp. when I used to live 10 minutes from the Ballpark in Arlington and would go to 15-20 games a year)

and I hope the Dodgers make it to the NLCS. Steve Finley's dad goes hunting with my uncle and I got a couple of signed things from him when I was younger.

I support all the teams based in Dallas still, but aside from that I root for the Cubs (because Kerry Wood went to the high school I was going to attend before I moved) and I have adopted the panthers as my football team (Cowboys are still my team, but after you spend 5 years watching a team you start to pull for them)

And I like the Red Sox, only because I despise the Yankees

because that is where I grew up

[WAJedi]

I live in Indiana, about 3 hours away from Chicago. Most people would think I would be a Cub fan like my brother, dad, neighbors, and one grandfather. They would be wrong. My other grandpa raised me right, so now I bleed Cardinal red. I thought they were going to bring out the broom tonight, but Lima pitched a hell of a game, and deserved that win.

I really dont care about the NFL, but I watch it anyway, just don't really have a favorite team. If I was forced to pick one I would pick the Cowboys. When I was much younger (elementary school days), I jumped on the Dallas bandwagon to fit in, but even after some tough years I would still consider myself a Dallas fan more than anything.

Also, I am about 25 minutes from Notre Dame, and will probably be going to school there next fall, so it is no surprise that I am "blue and gold through and through." Sorry, had to use the Rudy quote.

I hate the NBA, and havent watched even a quarter of it in like a year and a half. I also don't bother to watch hockey.

[dafoomie]

Baseball Sucks major ASS! Its more boring then golf! I don't see how basball is still around. Every game if you look out in the stands there are hundreds of seats availble.
The Redsox sold every single seat for every home game this year. Not one seat went unsold.

Like the games mattered like in football one loss could kick your sorry butts out the playoffs!
Ask Oakland about one loss kicking them out of the playoffs. And the Giants, and the Cubs, and Texas.

I've been a Redsox, Patriots, Bruins, Celtics fan forever. If you want to see bandwagoners, look at Lakers fans or Raiders fans.

:lol: -- Surprisingly enough, my little brother has been a Raiders fan since they were like 2-14. They'll get their ass handed to them today by my team, the Colts.

As for myself--I've been a Yankees fan for as long as I can remember, but was only 9 or 10 when the Joe Torre era started. I've been with the Giants for so long, and the Colts became my #1 before the '99 season...right after they went 3-13. Lucky the first season I was with them they went 13-3. :)

Yeah but look at how many Raiders fans jumped ship last year. They have some hardcore fans but a lot of those west coast sports fans are too wishy washy.

I can't wait until Tuesday, why did the Twins have to lose in 4 when they could have lost in 5 and made Mussina pitch.

does it matter? hell no.

everyone keeps saying the yanks can win this and that if this guy steps up or if that guy takes it to the next level, meanwhile all the sox have to do is play their game and theyre good.

its all business this year, 3 down, 8 to go, GO SOX!

This needs to be updated.

Being from Mass I go with Red Sox, year in, year out, never see anything from it.

But I'm shocked so many people here are crazy enough that you really think they will win. Or are you all just from Boston? :D

[dafoomie]

The odds are better if Mussina doesn't start game 1, who knows who the hell they'd have to throw out there Tuesday if he pitched today, probably Lieber for game 1 and Brown game 2.

i think its better tho with moose going in game one, he'll be negated by schilling's performance, cuz schilling is just playoff clutch.

then what do the yanks have? brown? leiber? vazquez? LOAIZA?

its almost the same series as last year, u figure the yanks got a-rod and sheffield in the lineup but lost giambi, so while the production has increased, its not overly dramatic. the sox meanwhile added the best playoff pitcher in baseball(schilling has like a 1.70 era in the playoffs, hes allowed 2 or more er twice now in his playoff career, thats lights out) and they havea legitimate closer this year in foulke as opposed to that "whoever i kinda feel like playing russian roulette with" committee

the sox offense is i think better, they lost some pop in walker, but in the playoffs u dont win with just power, u win with TIMELY hitting. the yanks hit santana hard in game 1, 9 hits, but they werent timely, and ended up with goose eggs down the board... the sox offense clicks, guys like bellhorn and mueller get guys around the bases as opposed to just going for the fences everytime, and the combination works.

Boom! A. LaRoche hit a 3 run shot to deep right and the game is now tied...Braves vs. Astros

[smellhasreturned]

Go Sox... again

and patriots

[Bann]

I'm pulling for the Sox, now that the Twins have lost out.

[tyecko]

I suppose I'll go with the Cards now
