Yeah – every Dodger and Giants fan LOATHED the Yankees. Especially NL fans who were stuck living in the Bronx.

A Mets fan simply CANNOT root for the Skanks. How can you root for ANY American League team? – with that DH abomination, it isn’t real baseball!

I’ll be back in PHX for the D’backs series. It’d be easier to pull for my latest home team if they were AL. But now that the Mets are out, I’ve got no problem pulling for the D’backs. They’ve grown on me over this year as i went to about 10 of their home games. I’ll be at the home playoff games. Not real sure they can win a series vs. anyone but you never know.

I am rooting for the Yankees…

…to be humliated in the most extreme way possible. They’ve already faced the devastation of a collapse after being up 3-0 in a seven game series to their most hated rivals, let’s see a follow up. Oh, maybe a 21-0 sweep by the Indians in the first round would be fun.

I am a Met fan who grew up in the Bronx in the 1960s and I always hated the Yankees. I took so much abuse by them when the Mets were horrible but I stuck to my loyalties, and 1969 was the year I got to rub their noses in it. Oh, I don’t hate them individually as players – I must confess I have admiration for Mickey Mantle, Chris Chambliss, Roy White, Joe Torre, Lou Pinella, A-Rod, Matsui and Cano (that’s probably it actually) but I think Steinbrenner did more than any one single person to ruin the game of baseball. I date it back to the signing of Catfish Hunter – the big deal that more than ever before declared that whoever spends the most can buy a winning team. My beloved sport hasn’t been the same since.

So keep your 26 WS titles or whatever. There haven’t been any this century (yet), I’d like to see it stay that way for awhile longer.

Exactly. And don’t forget, Philly is the only city which needs a court and jail in the basement of its stadiums to deal with out of control fans.

Yes, Go Angels!! I have always liked the Angels in the playoffs. First of all they seem to have the Yankees number, secondly, they beat Mad Dog’s Giants in the World Series, and thirdly, they have a monkey as a mascot. You can’t ask for anything more than a Rally Monkey!!

Boy, I missed watching the Mets last night.

I will be rooting hard for the stinking Phillies to lose the Rockies and the Yankees to lose to the Indians.

After watching the Play-In game, WOW…Its good to watch real baseball again. The Mets were a sad excuse for baseball down the stretch…I had forgotten what good baseball was like. Double, Double, Triple off of Hoffman. What a choker!

I don’t know if I can root for any team in the division series because watching TBS is TORTURE!

Anyway…way to go Jorge Julio!!!! I guess I’ll be rooting for the Padres.
