Oddly, it would be the 13th anniversary of the quake series. If that series materializes, my superstition would have me anywhere but So Cal that week.

I'd love to see a rematch of last year, but I think it will be Atlanta v the Yankees.

09-29-2002, 11:54 AM

I also think it will be Braves vs. Yankees ...

I wish it would be Twins vs. Braves though - but as long as the Yankees don't win the World Series I'll be happy

I will echo H I McDonough's sentiments:

I want to see St.Louis v. Minnesota with the Cards exacting a measure of revenge for 1987...

I wouldn't mind seeing an equally riveting rematch of 1991...Minnesota over Atlanta.

My pick:

Giants v. Yankees, the Giants steal signs in Game 7 and Shawon Dunston (#23) hits a Series clinching HR off of Steve Karsay - who wears #31, the reverse of unlucky #13 - the ghost of Russ Hodges emerges to hijack the play-by-play, shouting "The Giants win the Series! The Giants win the Series!...and...wow...that is just ridiculous!

Lets go with:

Yankees v. Braves

atomheart · 09-29-2002, 12:39 PM

A's over D'Backs in 6 or 7.

Then again, the yankees could win it all again...wouldn't THAT be exciting. Yawn.

vtbub · 09-29-2002, 03:33 PM

A's over Cards

twins15 · 09-29-2002, 05:25 PM

Twins vs. Diamondbacks

Old Man · 09-29-2002, 05:31 PM

Dbacks vs the A's

JWay · 09-29-2002, 06:23 PM

Twins and Giants

BasicGuy · 09-29-2002, 09:13 PM

Minnesota Twins

Vs.

Atlanta Braves

asamford · 09-30-2002, 04:22 AM

Atlanta Braves vs. Oakland A's with Atlanta winning in 6 or 7.

Jason Moyer · 09-30-2002, 04:58 AM

Regardless of who wins, I hope Barry Bonds hits .800 and averages 2 homeruns per game played so people can shut up about this clutch hitting crap already.

I think you'd be safer away from Nor Cal.
