I hope the Yankees recover from their slump, make it to the World Series again, and get swept by the Amazin' Mets!
And the next year my Royals won it all. Still have my Royals World Series tee shirt. I'm going to wear when we're in the World Series again. In the mean time I'll just keep adding a few moth balls ;-)

Or if Victor Kiam were still their owner..???
Don Denkinger gets a lot of blame for blowing that call at first in Game 6 but the Cards made plenty of other mistakes that inning.
He gives folks there money back if they don't like his shavers. He should have done the same for us Patriot fans.
"Didn't Kerry get booed at Fenway?"
Yes, and he made an embarrassing girlie throw on national television at Fenway.
Hillary on the other hand, was embraced by the New York faithful as a "lifelong Yankee fan".
Sheffield gets fined today.....
Not if Cincinnati's Big Red Machine sweeps the Yankees instead!
All joking aside, the perfect World Series would be Boston (my AL team) versus Cincinnati (my NL team). Kind of like in 1975, except I would rather Boston win. Perhaps in the bottom of the 15th in game 7.
The A-Fraud Curse Lives!
Just goes to show you.. money can't always solve the problem... much like per student spending at public schools.
Heck, the Royals are 4 and 8 and we're thrilled that it isn't worse.
Try several years. Name the last few pitchers since around 2001 who came up through the Yankees farm system and won (and kept) a job in the starting rotation or job as closer.
Their pitching is in serious trouble. Even Johnson has had some trouble in his last few outings. And didn't Joe put Rivera in a game where the Yankees were leading by 2 or 3 runs? You know your star closer is in trouble when he's being put in those kind of games.
The Yankees are a bunch of high-priced players who don't play as a team IMHO. Where's that team chemistry? How come they were not fired up after that incident with Sheffield and the fan at Boston?
Will the hitting come around for the Yankees? Yes. But the pitching is a mess. It's been in more of a mess since Roger left. The Yankees are in trouble.
The Sox got payback on the Cards last year for their losses in the 46 and 67 series. So it'd be nice to get back at the Reds.
He gets hits for the Yankees. They're usually singles with two out and no runners on.
If there's such a thing as a baseball slumpbuster, it's the Drays. That said, the Drays will sweep the Yanks. George will can Joe like he did Yogi.
It was the same story in Texas. We tried to warn the Yankees, but they didn't listen. He's clubhouse poison to boot.
They were winning world series just a few years ago with half their current payroll. Those teams were built to win with good defense and pitching.
It could be. You could be a Colorado fan.
