it really is ok to root for a team, even if it is against your teams best interests.

Posted by groiny (aka groiny) Sep 28 '11, 07:54

if I am gonna win a world series as a Yanks fan, nothing would be better than beating the Red Sox to do it, not because they have been sucking balls for the last month and half.

Plus you risk losing the series and having egg on your face.

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
