New 'Who are you rooting for' Post

PrintThe top two finishers in the original thread, the Cards and the Twins, are now gone. These are the times that try Giant's fan's souls, gentlemen (and ladies)
I think at this point I'm stuck on the Angels. I'll root for the Phils to beat they who shall not be named, but I just can't bring myself to root for rectumface and old man charlie to win two in a row. And the Yankees? Even Brian Sabean could put together a good team for 20 bajillion dollars.
Plus the Angels have the whole Adenhart angle, which I'll admit is pretty touching.
What about you guys?

mostly rooting against the Dodgers and Yankees (thrilled that the Red Sox are out). I would be happy to see the Phillies win it again, they have some likable guys (aside from Victorino) and most importantly 2 Bruins.

And the one named Utley grew up in a better town :)
Congrats to my soul mate and birth brother Zach Wheeler on being drafted into greatness. Should I just buy my Wheeler jersey now, or wait till my next birthday?

I guess I would be the “happiest” if the angels won. Nightmare world series would, of course, be yankees-dodgers with the dodgers winning. Philly is my default nl choice now.

Not the Dodgers
with the Phillies a close second
I still believe in Bowkermania.

I’m not rooting for anybody anymore.

I think “ever” is too strong a word. No… wait… I mean, I think it’s too short a word. “Never” is much, much better.

Dodgers = never
Phillies = many douchebag fans plus Rectum face
Angels = many douchebag fans plus I’m still WTF over them winning the World Series, despite my liking of many of their current players
Yankees = many douchebag fans but I like A-Rod and Big Tex and CC and want them to be able to throw up a SUCK IT to the NY Media

1. phils- i don’t want them to repeat, but they’re the least worst choice
2. angels- they nick adenhart angle makes it acceptable to root for them, but that’s it
3. yankess- in The Dreaded World Series scenario, it would be the first and last time that i have rooted for them
wait, they changed the rules this postseason, right? so only 3 teams? Woohoo!
Go Phillies and Angels

Process of elimination... and you biologists know what I mean by "elimination"
I detest the stinking dodgers, the stinking angels, and the stinking yankees. That only leaves the Phillies, whom I do not detest overall (but obviously victorino is a bag of douches).
Go, Phillies.

No one! Why should I root for someone else’s team? BUT: I will be most delighted if the d——rs are sent slinking home pronto, next most delighted if the plutocrat and haughty Yankees are, and next most delighted if the National League team can’t be cited as evidence that the other league is better than ours. That leaves me least hostile to the Phillies, of the miserable possibilities left.
i hate the yankees so whoever they’re playing gets my support, which kinda works out well cause I’d like to see the Angels win this year only for Adenhart.
I don’t really like the team, but I’ll support the Phillies purely because they’re facing the dodgers.

why?
we’re not A’s fans.
Why do San Francisco teams insist on having terrible offenses? Frank Gore and Pablo Sandoval can't do it all.
Dodgers? Yankees? Phillies?
The Angels seem like the lesser evil of the four options.

In what way shape or form
do the Phillies come across as remotely more evil than the Rally Monkeyin, KRod-sneaking-into-playoffs-in, Thunderstckin, Vladamir-Guerrero-poachin, Darren-Punter-Erstad-in, scrappy-Eckstien-in, game-ball-to-Russ-Ortiz-about-bitchin, Scott-Spezio-billion-pitch-foulin-off-in, ugly-red-uniform-in LOS ANGELES Angels?
Honestly, I wasn’t behind the Angels before they beat the Red Sox. But seeing how they beat the Red Sox in Game 3 of the ALDS to advance to the ALCS was just so damn pleasing. Three runs off of Papelbon in the ninth? I was getting a bit tired of that dancing douchebag and his big ego and it was awesome to see him lose in such a big way.
Besides, I hate the Red Sox and the Yankees. If they knock both of those teams out, then they’ve got my vote.

I dont blame them for that

None of those players are with the Angels anymore. Besides, they’re too bland to hate as strongly as the Dodgers.

Should we hate the Angels for 2002? I’m pretty sure the World Series was canceled that year.
"I never watched baseball on TV. It's slow and boring. I'm not a fan. Never was." - Jeff Kent
At this point, I’m tired of denying 2002. It’s been 7 years since the Giants were in the World Series. Considering the past 5 season, I would take it again.

This is just about the worst collection of teams Giant fans could have asked for, I mean even the most likeable team (Phillies) we had a post dedicated to rectum face on. Fuck baseball, LETS START THE OFFSEASON!!!!

There is good baseball out there and you close your eyes because it isn’t the Giants? Twins-Tigers one game playoff was outstanding baseball. Rockies-Phillies that the Phillies wrapped up was good (bad umpiring, though).

And
I’m a little snippy because of the “You’re nuts..baseball season ended two weeks ago.” Most of us love baseball even if it doesn’t involve the Giants. I hate the type of fans who is 100% Giants and nothing else exists.

I agree.
There is more to a sport than just the one team you root for.
by withclubsauce on Oct 14, 2009 1:15 AM PDT up reply actions
I should note that the poster has a right to root for one team and ignore the other 29 but those are the type I don’t like to talk to. It’s fun to go to a game and say “Wow. You see or hear about that perfect game by Mark Buehrle?” or talk about how Joe Mauer should be or not be an MVP.

You don’t like to talk to them but you take the time to refute them on internet forums.
You’re funny. Which is ironic since you’re apparently devoid of a sense of humor.

Phillies
I hate the rest of the other teams.
FIRE BRUCE BOCHY NOW!!!!!!
AND TAKE BRIAN SABEAN WITH HIM!!!!!
I want to say that I’m pulling for the Angels over the Yankees, but once the game starts I have a feeling I’ll see too much red and pull for the bad guys. NY fans may be obnoxious, but I don’t really know any.
El Presidente Larry Baer's epitaph
"Nothing important ever happened without me."
This is a very easy choice for me. My ex-roommate was a Yankees fan and the greatest douchebag I have ever been around in my life. One of my current roommates is an Angels fan, and he is awesome as hell, so that fortunately made the choice easy.
"I never watched baseball on TV. It's slow and boring. I'm not a fan. Never was." - Jeff Kent
After the Rockies lost...
I at least had a team I could tolerate winning it. It was shaping up to be the four teams I absolutely loathe, so at least that didn’t happen. But, ug, Phily!
I don’t want to fathom the Dodgers winning it. Angels would suck, but at least it would make their win in ‘02 seem more legitimate since it would be there second. Okay, I don’t really believe this but I’m trying. Screw them! Oh, and ’02 never happened anyway. My bad! I forgot!
If Phily can’t then as odd as it is I might want the Yankees. I loathe the Yankees more than really any other sports franchise (and its actually close to the Dodgers for me). However, they’ve won it so often that I have NO feeling whatsoever when they do win it. It is almost as though the World Series was cancelled and didn’t exist — sort of like 2002 and 1994. So since I really hate all these teams, I would rather feel nothing at all. So yank it (suggestive pun intended). Especially if it were against the Dodgers, which I am thinking it will be! LAME!
