I can't root for the nationals. This is going to be rooting for the lessor of evils here.

Giants

Rangers

Dodgers

Now the hate begins

Indians

Cubs

Nats

Red Sox

Blue Jays

[isestrex]

Can we put them in order of who we do NOT want to win?

1. Red Sox

2. Blue Jay

3. Nationals

4. Giants

5. Rangers

6. Dodgers

7. Indians

8. Cubs

Exactly this order for me.

Theo Epstein has also always struck me an arrogant jerk. I can't imagine how much his ego will go through the roof if he manages to lead the Cubs to a World Series title. The two most bearable teams in the postseason for me are the Rangers and Indians and the Rangers look like they're on the way out. So that leaves me with one choice. Go Indians!

You probably deserve to be arrogant when you become an MLB GM at the age of 28.

I'm in the absolute minority here but I would not be upset to see Blue Jays go to WS. It would further validate our season and reinforce the fact the AL East is the man's man division of MLB and we were a big part of that success.

I prefer the Indians to any that are in the mix but I can see your point about "Validation". I also think that if the Blue Jays were to win it they would need to pony up a lot of cash for some aging veteran free agents to be.

Encarncion

Bautista

Dickey

Saunders

Cecil

Navarro

Benoit

Possibly- Grilli

This may hamstring them a bit going forward.

I'm curious why so many people like the Indians but seem to hate the Rangers all of a sudden? Would the results have been the same if the Rangers weren't already down 2-0?

[InsideCoroner]

The Indians and their $86M payroll. I always root for the underdog. ("Here I come to save the day...")

Someone has to be baseball's b#@$%. Baseball fans got a deluge of entitled moron fans when the Red Sox broke "The Curse" and just became arrogant fartbags that everyone else hates to be around. Had ANYONE outside of Chicago heard of the stupid "Billy Goat Curse" before 2003? The tag-along game that they have to play next to Red Sox fans is ridiculous. I'm watching this game tonight and I've already seen the alive Belushi and John Cusack. Eddie Vedder. Ugh, celebrity fans. What's next, some dumb rom-com about two idiot 20 somethings who fall in love on Waveland Avenue the night the Cubs win the World Series? We've been here before.

I've never liked the Cubs. I've never liked how much attention they've received for just being THE CUBS. How come major media outlets give the Cubs SO much attention just for being losers? "When will the Cubs turn around?" "Is this the year for the Cubs?" It happens every damn spring. Hey, how about some love for the Padres or the Brewers? What, no one loves them? I guess if you're in a major media market you get more exposure for being a loser.

Loveable losers? No one likes a loser. I'm parroting the intro to the Patton movie here...but really, who likes a loser?

I'm sorry, I just can't get behind it. I admittedly rooted for the Sox back in 2004 because I was 23 at the time and thought it was the cool thing to do. They were beating the Yankees and erasing history!! Jump on the bandwagon!! It's the cool thing to do! I bought into it and I've regretted it ever since. I think every sports fan has a dark moment or two in their closet, this one is definitely mine.

I was 23 and didn't know any better. I feel awful for adding karmic energy that helped propel the Sox into the Series for a sweep of the Cardinals.

Before you get all high and mighty and go "But Moose! This is history! It's the CUBS! They haven't won since 1908!!" I want you to ask yourself one thing:

Ask yourself if you had the chance to go back to 2004 and somehow have an influence on the Sox/Yankees series to make the Sox lose and never get to the World Series, would you do it? Because if they don't win in 2004 they probably don't keep the band together and win in 2007. Would you do it? Would you re-write history so that David Cruz, Manny Ramirez and Johnny Damon never won a World Series? Would you re-write history so that the dickbag Sox fans that invaded Camden Yards for so many years after would have no leg to stand on?

Because if you're rooting for the Cubs, that's what you're rooting for here.

Cubs. 1908 is long enough.

[MagicBird]

I dont get the Cubs love or the Rangers hate.

The Cubs have Theo. Thats enuff reason to root against them.

Tired of the Giants.

So that leaves the Dodgers and Nats in the NL. I havent lived in MD for almost 20 years so I dont hate the Nats, but Id kinda hate to see them win a WS before us.

In the AL my preference would be the Rangers followed by the Indians.

Im just curious. Why would an Orioles fan have hate for the Rangers?

Baseball fans having a conversation, in March of 1912:

 

MIDWESTERN FAN #1:lllllll "How do the Cubs look this year?"

MIDWESTERN FAN #2:l)l).l "It's been 3-plus years since they won it all. The Titanic will sink before the Cubs win another World Series."

Why hate the rangers. 30-3 I was there.

[JimDH]

My vote would be "no preference"

[theobird]

The Cubs, they have a few of my favorite players on that team:o

[orioleslist]

You didn't like Odor exposing Bautista as a faux tough guy? One of my favorite moments this year. The Rangers organization is a close second to the Cubs in how they operate and they've never won it. The team also has a fun loving bunch of guys.

Let's say there are people past and present associated with the Rangers that I'm not particularly fond of--and I'll leave it at that.

That said, definitely rooting for them against the Jays and will be too against the Sox if the two 0-2 teams come back to win their current series.

Long time ago and that was on the Orioles pitchers that day.
