World Series Dilemma Poll

PrintSo, the inevitably horrible has happened (unless you own stock in Disney/ESPN) and the Dodgers are playing the Red Sox in the World Series. Do you wish for a stray meteor to strike the stadium and kill the TEAMS (whole 40-man, +coaches, management, etc.) or the FANS at the park.
Or do you split the difference? Does it matter where they are playing?
Bonus question: If you can spare ONE mortal from each team, who would it be?

Can I (like an octopus)
Can I (like an octopus) use my many arms and suckers to vote early and often and for multiple choices?
Because (like a manatee in a ship’s wake) I’m torn…

A stray meteor is fine
But a guided meteor, with Slim Pickens sitting on it, will produce more complete results.
I like the Red Sox, mostly, so I hope the meteorite kills only Jeff Kent.

Cockstache
In my mind, I see this as a fad that started in porn and died out in the late 70’s.
Neglectful father of David Quinowski
I'll be the one.

Wait a minute
I’m the only one who is supposed to like the Red Sox.
That being said, I’m not voting in this stupid poll. Are we all supposed to hate both the Red Sox and Dodgers?
A gamer does NOT wear a foam finger, a dork does.
Ideal scenario
Somehow the meteor destroys:
-Red Sox Fans, Curt Shilling and Roger Clemens
-Dodger players, fans, stadium, stadium employees and most other things in blue
-Yankee Stadium
Giants! Giants! HELP US GOD!
We're building your meteor to specs
With the size of those egos and blowhards, it’ll need to be about the size of Saturn.
meh
Can I vote for the independent candidate?
Eugeniooooooo!!!!
Abortions for some, miniature American flags for others

prayers for meteors
we say them now, but come on, there’s regular evil and then there’s Dodger. If this unfortunate matchup happens I’ll cheer the Sox like they’re the freaking Giants, and you should do the same. Having a bunch of arrogant prick fans and a big payroll is nowhere near equivalent to the unholy cesspool of Lasorda and I think we need to remind ourselves of that.

I had a friend who said Red Sox fans watch the game and know the game...
So if that’s true, why are the Sox fans acting like Padres fans when the TV cameras are going about the different angles around the batters box? Mugging for the camera at multiple times around home plate and the batters box is reserved for soccer moms and teenagers with cell phones.
Bring on the meteor!
it's always noonan somewhere
Bonus Question Answer
Mark Sweeney-former Giant, I’ll forgive it.
Jon Lester-the man didn’t beat lymphoma’s ass only to get a meteor dropped on his head
I support Roger Kieschnick in his quest to becoming the best Kieschnick ever to play professional baseball.
I’m a pacifist and I don’t condone violence. But then again, there are always exceptions. Can I vote multiple times?

You raise a good point. If the meteor destroys the Red Sox team the fans will remain to whine about it.
I can’t say who I’d save if the meteor destroyed both teams. The answer would get me put in the stocks, or stoned like the whores of old.
"While conservatives tell you 'leave things alone and no one will lose,' and liberals tell you 'interfere a lot and no one will lose,' baseball says 'someone will lose.' Not only says it - but insists upon it! ... Democracy is lovely, but baseball's more mature." BVCE supports SF Dugout and Manny Burriss.

We bio-engineer a plague that targets the specific musings, thoughts and loyalties of Red Sox, Yankee and Dodger fans. That way we take away the lever from the machine, thereby destroying the machine itself without hurting the cogs that run it.
We might win a Nobel prize or be put on trial for crimes against humanity, but no one would be complaining once those players would be up for free agency/dispersal.

The correct answers!
is – as most of you got – kill the dodger team, that way, the new team will be terrible and the Dodger fans will suffer. Also, the Red Sox team is merely annoying, not abominable like their fans – Sox fans go. Location: Chavez, obv. Fenway is kind of cool.
Bonus question: You have to save Ned Coletti, so he can rebuild! As for Red Sox fan to save (although we voted to save the team), Theo Epstein, because he’s a stat drunk computer nerd.
Thanks for playing everyone!
