Actually, with no one in I like anymore, I'd like to see Tampa win it all, being an underdog team with low payroll....
But I'd love to see a Dodger - Red Sox series with Manny just tearing up his old team and helping the Dodger Blue sweep the Blosux in 4.
That would make the fact that Ohio's teams did pretty badly all worth it to me.
I guess a part of me remembers the Dodgers of yore putting up the good fight with Garvey, Cey, Yeager, Davey Lopes, Bill Russel, and Tommy... but always losing to the BIG RED MACHINE Perez, Morgan, Concepcion, Rose, Bench and GEORGE SPARKY ANDERSON.
I miss the days when teams had true teams and you could name the players almost every year and root for the player and the team. And if you lived in Cleveland you could go to a bar after the game and watch "SuperStar" Joe Charboneau open beer bottles in his eye sockets....lol

Boy, the way Charlie Hustle played. Plays that made the fans hip horray.
Fans like us, we had it made. Those were the days.
Didn't hear no small market excuse. Everybody played with juice.
Gee, how old Lou Brock ran great. Those were the days.
And you knew who was on your team then. Fans were fans and players played then.
Mister, we could use a man like Jim Palmer again.
People seemed to be content. Hot dogs sold for a dollar fifty cent.
Freaks were in bush leagues. Those were the days.
Take a little Sunday spin, go to watch the Cincinatti Reds win.
Have yourself a dandy day that cost you under a fin.
Players loved the game, didn't put their fans to shame. Tom Seaver really could pitch a game.
I don't know just what went wrong. Those Were The Days.
