Alright I will go from most like to see to least:
Rays Twins Indians A's
I agree with this. Any of these teams could beat us but we match up best in the order you’ve listed. The team I most want to play is Houston. |

More unlikely this year between work and family stuff but we’ll see. It was a ton of fun to be at YS for a playoff game last year. |

It was cool for me just to be out in the Western side of NY one year in a hotel. When you grow up a Yankee fan in another state, you find your local brethren, but until that year (1999), I had never been any place where even a small crowd of people were together cheering for the Yanks and only Yanks until then. (Well, Camden Yards when seated near the Yanks dugout)...But even that was different. It was only about ten people in a hotel lobby, but it was cool... |

Yea playoff games at YS are wild. I'll probably be going to game 2 of the ALDS. Hopefully I bring some luck! The Yankees had won something like 8 games in a row I attended before the season ending loss against Boston last year in game 4. |

Or at least in Baltimore with the Yankees playing? I forget. |

Or at least in Baltimore with the Yankees playing? I forget. Just in Baltimore when the Yanks were there. I’d guess ten games vs. the Yanks. Maybe close to the same with other Oriole opponents because I had free tickets and was being treated by a vendor. Saw an around the horn triple play once, started by Wayne Gross, can’t recall the particulars, but I think Gross, later an Oriole, was still a Kansas City Athletic. I was at the famous “rainout” game in 1978 that caused a future rule change...to allow for suspended games. The Yankees had taken the lead in the top of the sixth. When the teams took the field again, Earl Weaver went out in left field splashing around near the drains to convince the umps to call the game and revert back to the Oriole lead at the end of five for their win. I was so upset. The comeback had started from 14 games back and I felt really good about our chances. That was a tough loss, but... the comeback could not be denied... Still recall Ron Blomberg launching ball after ball into the right field stands only to sit for the game because of a left-handed starter. A shiny-black-haired Lou Pinella standing with his bat in batting poses in his Oriole uniform, so perfectly coifed during pregame practice. Must have been about a quart of pomade in that hair. Not many people got to see Lou as an Oriole. He didn’t play that day. I got to both Memorial Stadium and Camden Yards. Only other baseball park was Philly’s bowl-shaped Veteran’s Stadium, watching Lenny Dystra have a big game while he was still hitting .400 around mid-season from the nose bleed seats... |

Sounds like good memories in Baltimore! I shall now take this time to announce that I was at the Aaron Boone 2003 ALCS Game 7! 
Sorry. I had to do it. It's my claim to fame in terms of sports attendance!

I am hoping Houston will lose in the first round. They are the team I least look forward to playing.

Kaybli at the A. F. Boone game. I was working in a store that sold TVs during the B. F. Dent game. Did some TV department cleanup at the right time to see the homer...The manager could be a prick sometimes, but he knew where I was and what I was doing. I think he knew I’d be pissed if he shoved a stick in my bee’s nest that day...

Ice Cream for dinner, like your wife or gal pal becoming a sex fiend that wouldn’t leave you alone. Like winning the lottery and also finding out you were immortal on the same day... and that the lottery would keep pumping money to you faster than you could give the money away. It would be like going to visit a foreign country, because you just bought it. It would be fun, too. I mean, the Houston losing in the first round thingy...All the other stuff would just be the gravy... |

I had tickets to that game and gave them to a Sox fan. |
