Reuters-In what has to be the most nausiating display of what passes for patriotism, MLB has allowed the throwing of a series for the "good" of the country. After 116 wins this season, the Mariner franchise suddenly became like the hero in a b grade martial arts film...."whupped" everyone easily, until the "bad guy" at the end, when said martial artist suddenly "can't fight". Only this time, there is no "happy ending" for baseball fans...more

Frankly speaking Frank, your link is as limp as your conjecture. The Yankee’s have won 4 out of the last 5 World Championships for a very good reason, and it has nothing to do with anything but their ability to ‘ratchet up’ when the money is on the table. I predict that the D- Backs will win in seven and we will see one of the greatest World Series EVER!!

Soc,

"Frankly speaking Frank, your link is as limp as your conjecture."

Now that was funny!!

Not a Yankee's fan, but those pinstripes just don't seem to lose when it matters. It's fascinating, year after year it seems.......

Damned Braves are getting a little 'up in the years' nowadays....

I'd be surpised if the D-backs even manage to find it to the stadium noenetheless even manage to win a game. Baseball is all scripted, heck there is less left to chance than Professional Wrestling. I think the Yankees have been ordained by Selig to win this in 4 games with the scores as follows 6-2, 2-1, 7-5, and the finale will be a heartstopper 96-2.

Of course most people don't want to believe that baseball is rigged, but they also didn't want to believe y2k was real.
