I guess if you are going to watch two other teams matchup in a Final Showdown, watching Lee take on Price is a pretty good deal. I know many Twins fans have picked a side in this match which makes for great conversation but I can honestly say that I would be happy with either team being in the World Series – I just want whoever wins tonight to whallop the Yankees. Is that too much to ask?
I’m not sure if anyone will participate in this chat or not but we thought we should at least give people the opportunity to continue to gather around a good game.
