I have no issue with the Yankees. I admire them. But, this year we have a chance to see two dominant, young teams face each other for the title. And I would hate for of all teams to ruin that to be the Yankees. Add to the fact that the Indians are owed a WS big time, and are as cursed as the Cubs or Red Sox ever were. The Yankees will always be there. The Indians won't, thanks to their small market payroll. Any other year and I wouldn't have a problem with the Yankees winning.
