Well, I should be happy for my homeboy Steinbrenner, but I'm not.

Anyway, this was just what the majors needed. These were two outstanding league championship series.

Remember this about the Fish: they've never lost a post-season series...

My money is on the Fish to win it. They just seem to have that team of destiny look about them.

The LCSes were good, but can you imagine the ratings a Cubs-Sox series would've drawn? This is the worst possible outcome for the networks, even with two outstanding division series. With the "cursed" teams gone, people are just going to see it as "ho hum, Steinbrenner buys another one," and quit caring--even though it's actually shaping up to be a pretty darn good matchup. The Yankees aren't the invincible Yanks of old, and the Marlins are a hell of a lot better than people think.

Prediction--this World Series will have the worst or second-worst TV ratings in the past 20 years. It won't deserve those ratings, but it'll get 'em.
