I wonder what this dude is smoking?

Quote:
This is why the Minnesota Twins will be smiling in November.

The Twins may have momentum, the soon-to-be AL MVP and the support of every small market fan who opposes the Yankee, Red Sox, Angels and Dodgers big bucks approach, but none of those reasons are why they will win the World Series.

Nope, the reason the Twinkies will be hosting the Commissioner’s Trophy — what an awful name MLB’s defining hunk of metal — is the power of the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome.

That’s right, that horrible eyesore plaguing Minneapolis will be solely responsible for the Twins’ fourth World Series Championship.

Again, you must think outside the box. Its not that the carpeted surface or loud atmosphere or any other traditional home field advantage will help the Twins.

Simply put, the Metrodome just doesn’t want to let go of its beloved baseball team. With the AL Central champs moving next season, the Dome will ensure it can hold as many more games as possible. The Dome’s thinking? If the Twins win one more World Series, maybe they won’t leave me. If I (being the dome) can just deliver one more championship, the nostalgia will be too intense to abandon such a historical structure.

Call it magic, call it sorcery, call it a really tired writer at midnight, call it whatever you want. I just know I’m calling a Twin’s World Series win.

Yankees in 3, the Twins just don't have anywhere near the pitching needed to go against that Yankees lineup.

BoSox in 3 because...it's October and they're playing the Angels. Plus if Boston can get Beckett, Lester, and Buccholz all pitching to their potential they're tough to beat.

Phillies in 5, I think they have more pitching now than they used to. The addition of Cliff Lee will provide them with enough of an edge.

Dodgers in 5 because St.Louis out chokes them in a series of chokers where no player does anything good to win the series.

Twins in 4. They've been on an insane run of late winning 17 of the last 21. The Rocks went to the World series because of a similar run, so I can see them taking the Yanks out.

Angels in 5. I hate the Boston Red Sox.

Rockies in 4. I think the Rockies will be a decent playoff team again this year.

Dodgers in 3. Torrie is a good coach, so I'll give them the edge (Larussa is good too, but not as good as Joe)

Yankees/Red Sox
Phillies/Cardinals

Although I'd love for an LA team to win so I can go to a game next weekend or the weekend after.

I really need Boston to beat the Angels. It really kills me to cheer for them being a die hard Rays fan but I would love to go see an alcs game when I go down there in a week.

MLB would be all to giddy to get a Dodgers and Yankees World Series. Would actually be kind of interesting to see Torre go up against the Yankees too. But I think it will be the Phillies and Yankees winning those series.
