Ugh, try being a Minnesota Twins fan. At least the other cellar dwellers (99 losses last year, 96 this year) have hope, even the rebuilding Stros and the Cubbies, but things are bleak for the Twins whose best players (not including Mauer) are still in A ball.

A Bay Bridge World Series? A's and Giants! The last time that happened, we had a major earthquake here so I'm not sure I'm rooting for that. The A's were a great story here. Buster Posey for MVP? It's a great year to live in the SF area.

I'm hoping its Yanks against the Giants. I'd give anything to be at AT & T for one of those games.

I agree, it was a great season.

Not sure about the movie-team scenario.

I remember a couple movies called Major League & Major League 2 and they did nothing for the Indians.

+1.. and with Posey a true MVP candidate (Kevin Mitchell) and a 4-1 Niners squad, it really is 1989 all over again.. hopefully minus that quake. I just got my tix to game 1 on Saturday and if it's half as electric as NLDS game 1 in 2010 when Timmy had 15 K's, it'll be the best money I've spent this year. Go Giants!!.. but like the previous poster said, it's really tough to not root for any of these other teams (A's, O's, Nats, Braves and Chipper, etc).

The WASHINGTON NATIONALS!! 98 - 64, the BEST record in MLB!! Nats win the World Series in 7 games over the Yankees!! (Yeah, I'm counting my chickens before they hatch!).
