Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler A World Series question for Mets fans

I know we have a couple on here, so the question is Who are you rooting for? You hate both teams, so which is it?

To everyone else, who do you think will win the series? I'm excited for it to get started tomorrow night. Back to back championships would be amazing!

All I know is that there is no crying. There's no crying in baseball.

Rule #47, subsection 8a, paragraph 3:


"A baseball player may only cry when appearing on National TV, after having been caught using performance enhancing drugs, claiming that it was the fan pressure and THEIR desire to win which forced said baseball to cheat, not the 5 yr $90 million contract proposal made by the player and his agent."

I know that Snakeyes is a Mets fan. He usually has a Mets avatar.

As a Red Sox fan, I know the Yankees more than I know the Phillies. The Yankees look pretty tough, and I have a feeling that this is their year. They always go out and outspend everyone on free agents (I know, the Red Sox also do that), and this year, it seems as though they have finally bought themselves that title.

I'd be happy to see your Phils disprove my hypothesis, of course.

Sorry, can't contribute...I follow the Twins, Cardinals, and White Sox.

I am going for the Phillies. The Yankees are a really good team and should be the favorites to win the series. The pitcher I am keeping an eye on is A.J Burnett who has played very well so far this postseason but is very beatable. He has some really excellent"stuff" but he can lack consistency and control. If he has control problems and can't throw that deadly breaking ball for a strike, look for the Phillies to take advantage of this. If they can get a win in the second game, it will be a great series. The Yankees ace is unbeatable right now.

Any self-respecting baseball fan who was not born or raised in NYC should loathe the Yankees.

I'm sad that Jamie Moyer is out for the season, but will be rooting for Raul Ibanez, Greg Dobbs and crew.

I'm a Mets fan and I don't hate the Phillies. I DO HATE THE YANKEEES.

So, it's an easy call for me.

I'm not a baseball fan at all, but can I hate the Yankees? It seems like the hip, fun thing to do.

First off, let me say to any Mets fans, I'm so sorry! Living in the Yankees' shadow must suck, and having to root for one of the worst teams in baseball is just sad. And we Yankees fans thrive on the fact that everyone hates (envies?) us.

The Yankees will not be denied this year. Their bats are too hot, the defense is awesome and their pitching is rock solid (except for AJ on occasion). It probably won't be a sweep, but the Yankees will win!

P.S. I hope the umpiring is better than it was in the ALCS. Never seen so many blatant bonehead calls.
