I have no idea who I am pulling for in those 2 games.

Posted by groiny (aka groiny) Sep 28 '11, 07:42

I think Tampa, because of what they have managed to do in the second half

I think St Louis because of Berkman and Pujols.

But I am not really strong on either side at this point.l

Also...any Philly fans should be rooting for the Braves tonight. They don't want the Cardinals right now. - Jim Sep 28, 08:03
I'm pulling for the Cardinals in the NL, I think. :) -- nm - Jim Sep 28, 07:56
I'm rooting for the Braves. I don't care about Tampa or Boston. I think I'd rather see the Sox get in since they look much worse than Tampa - Krusty Sep 28, 07:49 36
- you were not made to embrace the awesomeness principle. :) -- nm - TFox Sep 28, 07:50
- typical Yankees fan, always about what is in it for you. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 28, 07:50 34
  - Again....2nd round matchup. If the Sox can get in and right that ship quickly, it'd be shocking. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 28, 07:54 5
    - I dunno, with short series being what it is, anything is possible. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 28, 07:56 4
      - 2 days ago, I don't think you coulda gotten even-money on the Sox beating the Orioles....it could happen in Round 1...but really, if that's your - Will Hunting Sep 28, 07:59 3

        The defending AL Champion Texas Rangers? - Will Hunting Sep 28, 08:04 1

  - What? Of course it's about what's best for the team I root for. That is a ridiculous statement. Should I root against my own interests? -- nm - Krusty Sep 28, 07:53 4
    - trust me, if someone pulls an upset and faces the Yankees in the Series - groiny Sep 28, 07:59 3
      - Sure but I really wouldn't care when if I get to watch another parade. - Krusty Sep 28, 08:02 2
        
        understood. - groiny Sep 28, 08:07 1
        
        Fair enough. :-) -- nm - Krusty Sep 28, 08:08

    - it really is ok to root for a team, even if it is against your teams best interests. - groiny Sep 28, 07:54 21
      - I don't care who they beat on their way to the WS or in the WS. All that matter is winning it all. - Krusty Sep 28, 07:57 4
        
        there is an element of satisfaction from beating the best teams to get there. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 28, 07:58 3
        
        I can agree with that. It does feel better to beat good teams. It also feels wonderful, as you know, to win the WS. - Krusty Sep 28, 08:00
        
        by winning their 7 game series, they did beat the best team. Regardless of what the team looks like on paper -- nm - Beaker Sep 28, 07:59 1
        
        it really does not work that way though. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 28, 08:00
      - Champions should want to beat the best teams. Otherwise, you're rooting for Money Mayweather. - TFox Sep 28, 07:56 15
        
        yes, when the White Sox were surging to the WS, I did not care who they played to get there. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 28, 07:57 14

        you are assuming that I think the Red Sox are the worse of the 2 teams. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 28, 08:01 12

        What i'm saying is you shouldn't rout for your team to face the easiest opponent. -- nm - TFox Sep 28, 08:06 6

        it is your reasoning for them to win that is your flaw. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 28, 08:11 3

        agreeance. - groiny Sep 28, 08:08
        
        no, lawyer man, that is not what I am saying. - groiny Sep 28, 08:06
        
        His team also had gone the better part of 100 years without a title...so really - Will Hunting Sep 28, 08:05 2
        
        they ain't my team, bub. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 28, 08:08 1
        
        Well, the Sox in 05 had gone, what...90 years? The Cubs are the only mega-drought team left - Will Hunting Sep 28, 08:09
I've gotta root Tampa and in the NL...shrug. - Will Hunting Sep 28, 07:48 1
- it really is an offense vs pitching kind of vibe going on there. - groiny Sep 28, 07:49
I know once the weekend starts, I'm pulling for the Brew Crew in the NL*. - TFox Sep 28, 07:43 12

  - Are they still owned by Bud Selig? -- nm - Bacon Sep 28, 07:48 5
    - He doesn't. My cursing at him was for his ridiculous rule change to give the winner of the all-star game homefield for the WS. - Krusty Sep 28, 07:52 1
      - I agree completely. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 28, 07:55
    - Haven't been for several years. The new owner is one of the good ones. - Will Hunting Sep 28, 07:49 1
      - Okay, then I don't care if they win. -- nm - Bacon Sep 28, 07:55
    - no, not technically. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 28, 07:49
  - I don't normally root against the Brewers but I'd rather not see them go to the WS. - Krusty Sep 28, 07:47
  - *nods* - znufrii Sep 28, 07:47
  - I agree, that the Brewers are kind of a feel good story. - groiny Sep 28, 07:47 2

      - plus, if you are gonna lost Baby Cecil next year, at least win a WS before he goes. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 28, 07:51
