End the Evil Empire: Will someone in the American League please step up and beat the Yankees? I'm really getting tired of watching a team that clearly is NOT miles ahead of a half-dozen other teams in the AL get to the World Series every single year. Once again the Red Sox don't appear to have enough to get it done. Is there anyone capable?
It's interesting, National League teams don't seem to be afraid of the Evil Empire. The Marlins beat the Yankees last year and the Diamondbacks beat them in 2001. I'm starting to wonder whether it's bad for baseball that the Yankees find a way to get to the show all the time. Just like people wondered whether having Tiger Woods dominate the PGA Tour actually hurt it. How long will this go on before it gets embarrassing?
