LCS(s)

[Frayed Knot]

So we're down to the final four.

- all are division winners, no wild cards. First time that's happened with the expanded WCx3 format

- in both cases the surviving teams finished with the best (MIL & TOR) and 3rd best (LAD & SEA) season records in their league and all won 90+ games (90, 93, 94, 97)

- one team has neither won a WS nor appeared in one (SEA) over 49 seasons

- one never won a WS and only appeared in one 43 years ago back when they represented the other league

- one last won a WS 32 years ago. It was their second of two in a row but they haven't been back to one since (TOR)

- and one won two of the last five including just last year (as you may recall)

Pulling for MIL & SEA

[Fman99]

I'm pulling for the AL teams here.

[Edgy MD]

Seattle for me.

I dinna like their colors, but go, Mariners.

[MFS62]

I know too many nice Canadian (that's redundant) friends and one virulent anti-Mets Seattle acquaintance to root for any team in this other than the Jays.
