and their wife beating manager Bobby "Gonna go home and punch the wife" Cox (He is one of the reasons I rip on the Braves so hard...I betcha if he was to hit his wife now, unlike how he did years ago when Billionaire nutjob Ted "Where's my Lithium" Turner bailed his ass out, he would go directly to jail...Do not pass go, do not advance to the World Series and collect $200!)

I'll pass. Jason can have them.

I've liked the Cardinals for awhile now anyway.

All I can say to that is "It is long indeed since we saw one of Durin's folk in Caras Galadhon."

Hey speaking of the Braves, I'm sure you remember the '91 world series against the Twins? I was at all 4 games in Minnesota. Those last 2 were unbelieveable games to be at!

I was living in NOLA at that time and in law school - thus, I paid little attention

Game 6-Kirby Puckett's awesome catch against the wall and his HR
Game 7-Jack Morris shutting the Braves down

One of the best World Series I have seen (Ranks right up there with the 2001 Arizona/Yanks series).

Yeah, '87 was not wuite as good, although I still HATE WHitey Herzog to this day for disrespecting the Twins SOOOOO much that world series. He kept whining about how the Metrodome wasnt "Real" baseball and that they wouldve won if they had Jack Clark who was hurt. I know the Twins were only 85-77 that year, but If I ever see him I'll tell him the same line that Jack Nicholson said to Tom Cruise in A Few Good Men "YOU CANT HANDLE THE TRUTH!!!!!!" Either win or shut up WHitey, no excuses!!!

That was the series that turned me into a fan.

I hate AL baseball. I'm pulling for the Angels simply because they are the lesser of the four evils. I am pretty sure they don't stand a chance, though.

GO CARDS!!!!

Angels are the only AL team to have a winning record vs the Yankees since Joe Torre became manager. Plus, REMEMBER 2002, the WORLD CHAMPION Anaheim Angels!!!!! They SPANKED the Yanks then, and they beat 'em throughout THIS year (hence their home field advantage this series)...one game doesn't make a series. Angels all the way in 2005!!!
