One of the better op-ed pieces on the subject.  It might turn out to be as prophetic as their tome on  Beltran.

Man if Clemens goes back I'm going to be praying for an Astros-Yankees WS.

Why?  I'd like to see a Red Sox-Twins ALCS.

It would be fun watching the awkwardness on ESPN if the Yankees lost.

Stuart Scott and co. wouldn't know what to do with themselves. They would probably just re-run old Duke-UNC basketball games for a few weeks.

You're missing the point.  If the Sox and Twins contest the ALCS, the Yanks have already lost.  Egregiously.  And before it can be a heroic loss.  They would be simply one of MLB's also-rans who never made it.

I do get your point.

But wouldn't you get any added satisfaction if the DQs lose to the team they left?

Nope.  It would be perfectly fine to be playing on while those two sat on their piles of money watching October baseball on their 800" plasmas.
