It always seems to be a Yankees team picked as best ever, sorry IMHO it's the '76 Reds, who's your pick?

Naw, no team compares to 86 Mets. Even better than my 87 Twins.\n\nThe 1986 New York Mets were the best team in the majors, and knew it. Their swagger, cockiness, and 108-54 record annoyed opponents, who were probably already frustrated by the Mets' uncanny knack for winning. The animosity between the Mets and the rest of the league led to no fewer than four bench-clearing brawls that season. After one fight, so many Mets were ejected that Davey Johnson was forced to alternate relievers Jesse Orosco and Roger McDowell in right field. \n\nFirst baseman Keith Hernandez summed it up perfectly -- "we had replaced the Yankees as the team they loved to hate." With George Steinbrenner in the Bronx, that was a remarkable achievement. \n\nIn every facet of the game, the Mets were deep, talented and passionate. The best starting five in the majors gave way to a bullpen with several superb closers, the lineup featured good power and blazing speed, while an above-average defense boasted several Gold Glove-caliber players. As skipper, Davey Johnson established himself as one of the best tacticians in the game. Ironically, the team which had run away with the NL East crown in such efficient fashion -- 21½ games ahead of the Philadelphia Phillies -- found themselves struggling in the post-season against both Houston and Boston. But, helped by timely hitting, "rally caps", and Bill Buckner's famous miscue in Game Six of the World Series, the Mets rode a wave of emotion to their second World Championship.

Johnny Damon (after Alex Rodriguez and Hideki Matsui).  All Yankees, of course!  Of course, I could be a little bias.....   ;)

Hear, Hear!! You are a prophet who sees not only the flaws in the fans who reason that the Yankees are the best, but also who sees into the future to see that nothing is going to change for them. So many of us will be enjoying the next 100 years while the Yankees continue to waste money trying to buy a pennant, living on their past glory, and falling flat on their faces.\n\nHave to call it as I see it too.

The Detroit Tigers!  What a great year they are having, I only wish Trammell was still here to enjoy it.

the yankees are in the AL east. i will pick the mets because the braves as of right now dont even have an OK bullpen and they dont have leo mazzoneo. so i think their bullpen will stop them from winning another nl east title. while the mets, they filled their 2 main holes, their closer and and their 1st baseman. brandon looper just couldn't get lefties out and was not the best in getting righties either. while billy wagner can get everybody out. then they got carlos delgado instead of doug m., and carlos can hit .300BA+, 28HR+, and 100RBI+ every year. so they are really good right now unless something like pedro martinez and carlos delgado get injuried and are out for the whole year happens.

I like the RED SOX because everyone is always Yankees this and Yankees that. The Yankee's fans may have more bragging rights then the RED SOX because all of their world series championships but, the past is the past that is why it is called the past. And as of right now the RED SOX are ahead in the standings against the Yankees. Besides I never liked Derek Jeter or A-Rod. It's all about Big Papi and Manny Ramirez.

St louis Cardinals. the most successful National League team in MLB history. The Cardinals have had such great players that play solid defense and dominant pitching. The post season record and many world championships speak for itself. And we did not have to over pay for the teams.(Yankees)The yankees have had 200mil+ payrolls and were horrible. One of the reasons the Cardinals have been so successful is that we play in the same division as the Useless by September Cubs. I have to thank the cubs for sucking so bad, that we never had any real competition from them for the N.L. Central. Thank You cubs for being a terrible baseball team through out history. I am sure glad the Cardinals won a Championship since I have been alive. The suck-ass cubs barely have any fans old enough to remember a winning post season. Cubs Blow! Cards Rule!

None of you understand. You don't switch from the Yankees to The Redsox (the biggest all time rivalry of baseball) and say "I am proud to be a yankee". I personally do not like either the yankees or the redsox, but the man still disgusts me

LET'S GO RED SOX!!!\n\nP.S. to the ignorant Yankee fans, I have a few points to settle.\n\n1) " Who's your papi? "  I believe that was fully answered in 2004.\n2)  The last time I checked, the Yuckees were 2.5 games out of 1st place behind... ah yes, THE RED SOX!

RED SOX!!! I HATE the Yankees with all of my life. Yankees are little, rich, stuck-up jerks and they just remind of those little snobby rich kids back in school that think that they are the best thing since sliced bread. The Red Sox don't care about anything like that. They are just there to play baseball, win, and be a good team. And when Johnny Damon went as a free agent to the Yankees, he cut his hair just to fit in with the stuck-up freaks. That is why I am a RED SOX fan for life. (but I like the Carolina Hurricanes a lot better)
