well the strike killed it I think. While it's recovered in the US, it has severely dropped off since 94 in Canada, especially in Montreal. The expos were good enough to win it that year too. I've always hated Toronto in every sport and baseball is no different. Good thing we pounded 'em tonight...good old Yankees. Arod with the winning RBI's too.

But to be honest, I don't think our pitching is good enough. I can see NY falling in the first or second round, depending on who they play.

Exactly. Every team that is playoff bound in the AL this year has beaten the Yankees quite handily in a few games this year. I would love to see the Rangers wreck the Yanks in 3 games, with Soriano getting the winning hit! Ahh... now that would be sweet justice.

I don't know about Texas. NY have always handled them quite well dating back to the mid 90s. It's Anaheim and Minnesota that really scare me. The Red Sox will never beat the Yankees though...it's just a curse they'll never be able to overcome.

The Astros are struggling...and Petitte is out for the season after having surgery, so that aint gonna happen.

Yeah. Astros are done for the year. I doubt they'll even come close to the Wild Card.

As for the Rangers, they are a mega-offensive team. A mega-offensive team can definitely take down the Yanks pitching. Of course, the Yankees are also a mega-offensive team. I would like to see that.

Tell me about it, when I was in Toronto this summer went to a few games and the Skydome was empty! Still got to see Halliday in imperious form though.

bwahahahahaha!! was that a milwaukee brewers fan talkin shit about the twins?? dont be so salty just cuz were gonna own the A.L. central for the next decade. we got the best pitching prospects in the minors (that is truth, not just opinion) and our team is like 20th on overall payroll, average age is 24-25. Twins will have another WS banner by 2010. Brewers?? meh. book it.

Well... to be honest with you, the Brewers are going to be very good in a few years. They have loads of prospects int he minors.

As for your Twins... did you forget about the team in Cleveland? They also have a solid, great young team. I wouldn't pencil the Twins in as Central champs from now till 2010 just yet...
