Who will win the World Series?

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.
 
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 always wondered how people who lived in a state w/o a sports franchise decide which team to support. Is it whoever's the closest or just personal preference?

The Sox in fact sold out every seat this year

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
 
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.

The Redsox sold every single seat for every home game this year. Not one seat went unsold.

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
 
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.
