Well, like Bobert, I'm an old Senators fan. They broke my heart when they left for the second (and final, apparently) time. I married a Baltimore girl and became an Orioles fan for her sake. I still carry a torch for the Nats, though. However, since Peter Angelos has dismantled the team in a manner that is either the height of incompetence or a transparent attempt to prevent another team from moving to Washington, I am now giving up on the O's and will either root for another team to be named later or just will stop caring at all about MLB.

Of course, with my history of rooting for the Senators, the Cubs or the Bosox may be right up my alley!

Funny, but as I read down the thread my first impulse was to predict the Cubs and BoSox for the Series.....but I was beaten to it. So let me now suggest that as an act of selflessness, kindness, love of the game, and pure humanity (not to mention rampant stupidity), we, the baseball fans of the 'Cat, adopt the Cubs and the BoSox as our official favorite teams! We all go ahead and root for our own favorites, but also pray for cheer on these two as well. Whaddaya' think?

If people think the Cubs, Rangers and Mets can come back from such Godawful seasons, why not the Pirates? The only team I'm sure will not have a good year are the Milwaukee Brewers.

Hope springs eternal in the gullible.

Count me among them..

I Love baseball, but why would anyone insist on playing God bless America In Canada ? I think this is insulting to a country and it"s citizens.

OK, BLUEJAYS!

Yup, once again these fuckers (I allow myself to use profanity in baseball issues) are all set to break my heart!

JP Ricciardi the second or third choice who is now the Toronto GM, (but is dreaming of the same job in Boston,) tells me (in the papers) everyday that THIS is the team he wants.

Yeah....in a friggin' pig's eye.

BRANDON STURTZE? COREY LIDLE? Yeah, they'd be at the top of my list to face Andy Petitte, and Mike Mussina too, ha ha!

We have ONE consistant, well thought of (by the league) pitcher and that's Roy Halliday. After he pitches, we're fucked for a week.

Used to have a weak arm in the outfield. Now we have THREE.

Yes, I KNOW CARLOS DRIVES IN RUNS! Just never when they're NEEDED!

And....in the stupidist move in history, God Bless America will be played in the seventh inning!

Look, do it EVERYWHERe else, even in Litle league if you must...but it's simply too controversial here. This country IS NOT in lockstep with Dubya. Do you know what's gonna happen? There'll be some boos, and ALL the players (especially on OUR team) are gonna get a hate-on for their home town. Jeezus, this isn't brain surgery Mr. Commish!

I should feel better after that rant, but I will if Haliday beats the Rocket tonight.

The Expos may surprise you all. Some of the best talent in baseball now plays in Montral but with no tv exposure they have been kept a secret. I think they are an exciting team to watch.

Mark, I think it will be A Red Sox - Cubs World Series, going 7 games all the way to the bottom of the ninth, the score tied, two outs, the winning run at the plate with the count 3 and 2. And with whatever happens on the next pitch, the world will come to an end.
Speaking just as a Red Sox fan, of course.

I think that the Cubs will surprise this year. Love their young power pitchers. Prior, Wood and Clement could be the NL's answer to Mulder, Hudson and Zito. This is the year I believe the aging Yankees can be had in the AL East, with Boston doing the trick. It depends on Pedro's health. If Griffey Junior stays healthy, he's a good bet for Comeback Player Of The Year in the NL. PLAY BALL FOLKS, let's get it on.
