Who would you like to see win the NLDS?

metirish Oct 01 2008 08:16 AM

Not an easy choice , I'm 60 / 40 going for the Brewers.

Benjamin Grimm Oct 01 2008 08:18 AM

I'm rooting for an early exit by the Phillies, mainly so I can stop hearing about them. I think, though, that they'll get by the Brewers and succumb to the Cubs or Dodgers.

Gwreck Oct 01 2008 08:19 AM

Another sweep of the Phillies in the first round would do the trick. 26 years is a long time to wait.

sharpie Oct 01 2008 08:19 AM

Brewers. I've got nothing against them. Not like the Phillies.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Oct 01 2008 08:21 AM

The Brewers aren't even in the National League as far as I'm concerned. Go Phils. Read where Burrell strained his back in bp

Vic Sage Oct 01 2008 08:28 AM

good. in this contest, i'm rooting for injuries.

In my mind, the Mets lost the WC, the Brewers didn't win it. I like Ryan Braun ("The Hebrew Hammer") and Corey Hart helped my fantasy team. I wish nothing but despair for the Phillies and their fans.

Brew Crew.

The Brewers lost the Wild Card before the Mets lost it.

themetfairy Oct 01 2008 08:47 AM

The Brewers. Primarily to shut up the Philles phans whom I live among.

Benjamin Grimm Oct 01 2008 08:48 AM

Scarlett and I have the same perspective on this series.

I wish for Prince Fielder to assume the Ving Rhames role from "Pulp Fiction" and go medieval on the asses of the Phillies. There is no ambivalence here. Whatever tiny shred of admiration I had for the Phillies' ability to turn it on in September while other teams turn it off was lost to the sign the Phillies fan at CPB held up on Saturday. It had our NY and the phrase "UNIVERSAL SIGN FOR CHOKING". Even if it's true, I want that person and every person who cares for them to feel nothing but searing intestinal pain for days and weeks and months and years to come. Congratulations Phillies. It took a while, but I hate you more than the Braves. Victorino should feel it, too.

The window of opportunity is ope'd only so long when your stars are really really fat. So why not let the Brews have their moment?

Fman99 Oct 01 2008 09:38 AM

Phuck the Phillies. Go Brew.

Rockin' Doc Oct 01 2008 10:58 AM

Brewers. I want to see Jimmy Rollins and the rest of the Phillies poinded into submission as rapidly as possible.

brewers.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Oct 01 2008 01:03 PM

So it's me and who else? vs. 17 of ya. Brewers? They f-ed up everything.

Kong76 Oct 01 2008 04:53 PM

I can't root for the Phillies. Ever.

Tough choice really: The Brewers are fat, named for people who make beer, play in a city of extremely nice people and have that not been in the playoffs for 26 years underdog charm. Plus it would be cool for them to be the first team to win pennants in both leagues. On the other hand I always tend to root according to the same league/same division loyalty rule, so the Phillies have that going for them. Philadelphia in general is suffering a drought of championships. My friends in Philly have a three-year old son who loves the team and is heart-broken when they lose. And if the Phillies are going to keep edging out the Mets they may as well at least get a pennant out of it. So, slight edge to the Phillies.

cooby Oct 01 2008 06:59 PM

]And if the Phillies are going to keep edging out the Mets they may as well at least get a pennant out of it. My thoughts exactly. They better make it worth losing, dang it!

Kong76 Oct 01 2008 07:06 PM

WP: I always tend to root according to the same league/same division loyalty rule<<< I can see league, but division? You rooted for the Braves all those years in the playoffs? That's clinically sick if you did. If you didn't, and your hate for Glavine bbbyyy makes me think you didn't, then you're just kissing cooby butt.

cooby Oct 01 2008 07:08 PM

Now stop it! He did not pick the same as I did on all of these!

Kong76 Oct 01 2008 07:10 PM

Oh jeez, getting scolded over here.

For some reason I just don't have the hate for Philadelphia that I did for the Braves. Maybe because the Braves always whupped the Mets while with the Phillies the Mets have basically whupped themselves.

="KC"] then you're just kissing cooby butt. Well, there are worse reasons for doing things... I'm only rooting for one thing in the playoffs - anyone but the Phillies.

I've hated the Phillies since the days of Bull-Schmidt.

That's actually another reason why I hated the Braves because I lived among their band-wagon hopping fans in VA during the peak of their success from 1991-98. Conversely, the only Phillies fan I know is the aforementioned 3-year old boy. There's something about a team's fans that can make one hate the team. I've long thought it would be more appropriate to chant "Yankee Fans Suck!"

Hey, hey, you're a married man now.

Elster88 Oct 01 2008 10:36 PM

I don't like the Phillies. I like them the least of all the teams. Rollins, Myers and Hamels are about as unlikable as they come.

SteveJRogers Oct 03 2008 10:34 PM

FYI. Ex-Mets on both active squads and coaching staffs Phillies: None Brewers: Mike Maddux, Mike Cameron, Guillermo Mota, Manny Parra
