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

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

- 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

        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
