Not a prediction, but a Subway Series would rock… You think New Yorkers are arrogant now, wait’ll you see them after they shut out the rest of the country of the fall classic! 😉 As for what I think will happen, I think the Braves will kill the Mets, and I think the Yanks will squeak by Cleveland. I also see the Yanks, in 6 games, beating the Braves for the team of the decade honor. At least I hope… 🙂 * * * Yer pal, Satan ---

Six games? That makes it an away game! The Yankees must re-coronate at the Stadium. Five or seven games. * * * Livin’ on Tums, Vitamin E and Rogaine ---

I would love to see a subway series-Yankees vs. Mets. When was the the last time the World Series was played by 2 teams in the same city? ---

Gary: In 1989 the Oakland A’s played the SF Giants in the earthquake World Series. They’re not the same city, but they’re in the same TV market & local mass transit system at least. Before that you have to go back to the 1956 Series between Brooklyn and the Yankees. I don’t want a subway series. I want another non-PC Series between the Braves and the Indians. ---

Red Sox vs Mets. Nomar lets the ball roll between his legs in Game 5, losing the series. ## All of New England goes on a rampage to Boston, trashing Fenway. Jeremy… I can think of no more stirring symbol of man’s humanity to man than a fire engine - Kurt Vonnegut ---
