For whom are you rooting?

This should be a public vote so we can flog anyone who votes Phillies.

Rockies....great story this season again

John Cougar Lunchbucket Oct 05 2009 01:25 PM Re: NLDS rooting interest poll: Phillies-Rockies

It was me.

Consider yourself flogged.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Oct 05 2009 01:34 PM Re: NLDS rooting interest poll: Phillies-Rockies

I usually flog myself, so this is nice.

Rockies. Duh.

I will almost literally be unable to watch the WS if it's Phils-Yanks. I'm hoping the Rockies take care of business early.

Added to the landslide.

Go Rockies!* *Unfortunately, I'm afraid the Phillies have the far better team.

[quote="MFS62":3ihmqxuh][quote="John Cougar Lunchbucket":3ihmqxuh]It was me.[/quote:3ihmqxuh] Why? [/quote:3ihmqxuh] 1) They're the best team in our division. Three years in a row now. And so they deserve it. 2) I like the way they put the team together. Stars/solid players from the farm system (Utley, Howard, Rollins, Madson, Hamels, Happ); smart acquisitions from the scrap heap (Victorino - Rule 5; Werth -- waiver claim; Feliz -- cheap-ass free agent); and the moment they needed one, the balls-out, go-for it trade (Lee). It is an organization to be admired and should have taught us something by now. The only way Omar gets Werth is by trading a promising prospect and taking on the worst catcher in the league for 2 years. 3) I think Victorino's a punk and Hamels and Myers are trash, but don't fool yourselves -- ALL teams have douchebags in their employ. They're all dumb jocks after all. 4) They made maybe the unsexiest managerial hire in recent history and shove it up America's ass every night. Give it up for Charlie Manuel! 5) Lived in the area for some time and understand the city itself has a chip on its shoulder regarding NYC, but there's also a lotta love for the Phightins beneath that. Which of us wouldn't still be coming in our pants even now if the Mets, 2 years in a row, dragged down their rival from behind in the final week of the season, not to mention mixing in a world championship? Damn. 6) I'll prolly go for the Dodgers if they advance to the NLCS, so it's not like I'm a hopeless phanboy.

Thank you. Later

[quote="LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr":tquizloj]I will almost literally be unable to watch the WS if it's Phils-Yanks. [/quote:tquizloj] I have been saying this for weeks. As bad as Yankees/Braves was in '96 and '99.

Vic Sage Oct 05 2009 08:59 PM Re: NLDS rooting interest poll: Phillies-Rockies

For whom are you rooting? The Jets.

This is Rocktober.

metsmarathon Oct 06 2009 08:32 AM Re: NLDS rooting interest poll: Phillies-Rockies

despite all of bucket's excellent points, i cannot root for the phils here. the rockies are too darned underdoggy. though, those vest-y uniforms they choose to wear... maybe i should change my vote...
