Yanks or Marlins

ray a · October 2003

So who will win the big one, the NY Yanks or the Florida Marlins? And after NY wins it, will Steinbrenner gloat? Will Steinbrenner shake up the Yanks next year to ensure a repeat?

Gotta go with Marlins...no self respecting Sox fan will EVER root for the Yankees!!!

Yahoo · October 2003

Is there an option for none of the above???? I came to terms with it when my beloved Royals didn't make it to the playoffs (at least we had a fabulous season), but I at least thought I'd be able to root on the Cubbies. After they blew that, I thought okay - go Red Sox! Now - I don't think I can even WATCH the World Series, let alone root for either team. It depresses me to no end... x:-(

Sally · October 2003

I'm rooting for the Marlins. I was raised on Baltimore Orioles baseball, which means I always root for the Orioles or whoever is playing the Yankees.

Yahoo · October 2003

You sound like me - my favorite team? The Royals (and anybody playing the Yankees!!!) Just with the Cubs deal - I can't bring myself to really get into it this year.

System · October 2003

Yup. Anybody but the Yanks. That Jeter dude gives me the creeps, but that's not the only reason. I DO live in Red Sox Nation ya know.

Whatever · October 2003

Several thoughts based on above. First, Jeter is gorgeous. Second, be grateful, I live in NYC and I'm a Mets fan (hey, at least they did better than Detroit). Use to be a Brooklyn Dodger fan. x:'( There is no way I can root for the Yankees. Discretion says that for once I should keep my mouth shut.

System · October 2003

I have heard that said about Jeter but I don't see it. By the way which sport does have the most hotties? Oh boy I think I'm gonna get in trouble on this one but here goes!

WNBA?

marc · October 2003

Without the face-off of the two curses, I no longer seem to care much. Baseball was great fun for a while there, now it is boring. Do I sound like a broken-hearted cubbies fan?

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 10-17-03 AT 11:46AM (CST)[/font][p]I am a broken hearted Cubs fan x:'(. I know, I know, there's no crying in baseball! (Tom Hanks as Jimmy Dugan in "League of Their Own - a killer movie by the way).

But between my D-Backs and Cubbies, I've been National League my whole life. I think the DH is cheating and takes all the strategy out of the game. So I guess it's Go Marlins.

SDDCHR · October 2003

Let's see....Yankees....overpaid, over glamorized, hmmmmmmmmm. Don't really care for either one as I'm a twins fan. And yes, the Yankees had a $150 million dollar salary more then the Twins. But, in this case if I had to pick one it would be the Marlins! Have to go for the underdog!

I'm still licking my wounds from last night........... Pilgrims UP!

Don D · October 2003

What team are/were Walter Peyton, Ray Guy, Brett Favre, Steve Mcnair and Jerry Rice with? They're all from my state. Oh................sorry.x:-8

ray a · October 2003

And what do they have to do with baseball? That seminar make you dopey today?

Sunny · October 2003

I missed this one because I was visiting my mother in NY last Thursday and Friday.

Everyone loves to hate the Yankees - but I grew up within walking distance of Yankee stadium and they have always had my heart. I also went to opening day of Shea Stadium and cheer on the Mets (when they don't play the Yanks.)

For me, the Yankees have always been part of the New York spirit.

Go Bronx Bombers!

Definitely the Marlins. I think everyone is tired of the Yankees already. My opinion--Derek Jeeter is creepy and UGLY and I'm tired of his commercial where he lies to Steinbrenner. What an example they're setting for children who see that commercial. They should be ashamed of themselves. xx(

ray a · October 2003

What I find creepy about that commercial, is earlier this year Steinbrenner wanted to can Jeter - they definitely were not drinking buddies. Now they are cashing in on their public feud.

marc · October 2003

Maybe the whole feud was staged to set up the commercial later? Naw, Steinbrenner would never stoop that low, would he?

Leslie · October 2003

They got the first one off the air real quick - you know, the one where Steinbrenner asks Jeeter how he can afford to go out night after night.

For goodness sake George, you're the one paying him 14 gazillion dollars a year...that's how!

xclap Congrats to the Marlins!

Don D · October 2003

I'll give you the Yankees at 500 to 1.

Leslie · October 2003

Ray you haven't revisited this thread. Still licking your wounds?

HRsage · October 2003

I've been waiting til the end of the series to post on this topic. I've been a lifelong Yankee fan and from the other posts it seemed I was in the minority. I don't like all the Yankees and I really don't like Steinbrenner, but the Yankees are undeniably one of the greatest sports franchises in all of sports.

Having said that, congrats to the Marlins. They showed that they wanted to win it more and they got it. Like the Cubs fans say... There's always next year.

ray a · October 2003

I'm with HRsage. For most of my life I thought baseball was boring and never paid much attention to the sport. I would watch the world series and that was about it. About 3 years ago I started watching and now I am hooked. So, I am a "Johnny Come Lately" with no strong ties as a fan. I'll watch the Yanks or the Mets. And actually, since I don't have full cable, the Atlanta Braves are on more than any of the NY teams, so I watch them.

Can't stand Steinbrenner, but there are a lot of good players on the Yankees. The Marlins deserved the win, they earned it.

Yanks or Marlins
