In '95 both lost in division series
In '96 the Orioles lost in the league champion series
In '97 the Marlins won it all
In '98 both lost in the division series
In '99 the Red Sox and Mets lost in the league champion series
In '00 the Mets lost the World Series, the Mariners lost in the league champion series
In '01 both lost in division series
In '02 the Giants and Angels met in the World Series, Angels win
In '03 the Red Sox lost in the league champion series, the Marlins win it all
In '04 the Astros lose in the league champion series, the Red Sox win it all
In '05 the Astros lose the World Series
In '06 the Tigers lose the World Series
