I have no real horse in the MLB playoff race* since the Red Sox aren’t involved, but it does give me great joy that not only have the Rays lost, but now the Yankees are out of the picture. And at their joke of a stadium to boot. This is as good as it gets at this point.
*I would normally default to the American league once things got to the World Series (unless the Yankees were the AL representatives, of course), but given that my roommate is from St. Louis, I suppose that’s enough of a reason to support the Cardinals. (But my money is on the Phillies.)

How many countries have teams playing in the World series?
You aren’t invalidating the idea of the World Series because only two countries have teams. Major League Baseball is the premier baseball league in the world. It has the greatest players available and it’s where the best of the best – from all around the world – go to play.
I will go with Texas, but Detroit has the mighty Verlander.
