Prior to the last four series, the WS was very good. Yanks-Marlins, Angels-Giants, Yanks-D'Backs (one of the greatest ever), Marlins-Indians (a great series, with a tragic, tragic ending), Yanks-Braves (the dramatic game three), Yanks-Indians ... lots of very good series and two-three great ones since the strike ...

I remember Game 7 of the Angels/Giants WS, and doing the wave in front of my TV screen. That was a great series!

Here's to an actual Game 5 in the WS. Haven't had one of those the last three years.

I have to agree with the 'Red Sox/Yankees' series being over-rated. The hype about a 3-game series in April or May is just over the top at this point.
Put me down for the Super Bowl as well as any of the major horse races. Oh, and the Boston Marathon. Don't know how it's perceived elsewhere, but here in MA, the whole d*mn state pretty much shuts down for this thing because they feel the need to run it on a Monday instead of a weekend.

Dempsey v. Gibbons on July 4, 1923. It was a dud of a fight and ruined Shelby, Montana and it's overenthusiastic investors. Hard to be more overrated.

They're "rivals"?
Well, I guess every NL West team needs an AL West counterpart.
