Who will you root for in the Playoffs?

[Arthorn]

I'm rooting for Roy Hallday honestly. More than anything else, there's just one team on that list that I'm rooting against.

[utvolzac]

This is an easy answer. I'm rooting for whoever is playing the Yankees.

I don't mind the Rangers, but I can't stomach the thought of Mike Gonzalez winning a ring.

Saw that both LaTroy Hawkins and Jerry Hairston are on Milwaukee. I didn't realize Hawkins was still in the majors.

[Palmoripken]

1.) Rays

2.) Brewers

3.) Rangers

4.) D-Backs

5.) Cardinals

6.) Tigers

7.) Phillies

Infinite.) Yankees

Rays-Brewers would be the ideal given the two have never won one before. Rangers, D-Backs have two former O's I like. Cards and Tigers are two historical franchises I respect but we had that world series five years ago. I hope for good baseball though. I am rooting for the Rays because they are everything I want the O's to be and frankly believe they can be with the right people running the team.

Rays winning is very counter to the Orioles interest since it would likely increase their attendance and payroll. I chose St. Louis on the off chance that the Brewers losing could make it more likely that Prince ends up an Oriole. I know it is a slim shance, but at least there would be one.

I'm rooting for the Phillies. They remind me of the O's teams in the '70's with all that pitching.

I'd also like to see Detroit get in the series.

I find the idea of Wisconsin holding both the NFL and MLB championships at the same time amusing.

I find the idea of Wisconsin holding both the NFL and MLB championships at the same time amusing.

And hell, the way the Badgers looked last night they may be in the hunt for a National Championship.

..... Arthur Lee Rhodes came in and struck out Ryan Howard with a runner on first and one out in the 8th inning to help the Red Birds to a win.
