.......The Yankees have not proved that they can win in Arizona, nor have they proved they can beat Schilling or Johnson. Until they do that all their three wins get them is a plane ride back to the desert!
Even IF they win the World Series I don't think they were the best team in Baseball this year. The most LUCKY, but not the best.
IF they go on to win it all this will forever be known as the World Series that Byung-Hyun Kim GAVE to the Yankees! With a little help from Bob Brenly. Andy - Las Vegas
