As for the comment about full strength teams? Eff that. There are no asterisks. I hope every team is missing a key player or two, it won't make that trophy any less sweet.
If we were barely making the playoffs, or had a couple key guys out, then sure I would want all the help we could get. But we are a powerhouse and I want to watch us against the other teams best. I want the trophy, but I usually prefer the thrill of the moment watching the games over the "oh yeah, well 15 years ago we won a world series". Game 5 will live in mlb lore, and that is what I get most enjoyment out of; well of course if we had lost, it would have sucked.
