Well, here it is. The World Series matchup that most of us didn't want to see. For whom do you root?

themetfairy Oct 26 2009 06:24 AM Re: World Series rooting interest poll: Yankees-Phillies

I'm rooting for the meteor.

metirish Oct 26 2009 06:36 AM Re: World Series rooting interest poll: Yankees-Phillies

Phillies all the way...there are two teams in world sport that I dislike with passion and one of them is the yankees.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Oct 26 2009 07:03 AM Re: World Series rooting interest poll: Yankees-Phillies

Phils. In. Four.

Only thing better than the yankees getting beat in the ALCS is getting beat in the WS.......I'll even gladly accept silly WS Champion Parade taunting form Rollins.

[quote="metirish":1azuvr00]Only thing better than the yankees getting beat in the ALCS is getting beat in the WS..[/quote:1azuvr00] Hell no, it's far better if they lose in the ALDS, or better still, fail to make the playoffs.

holychicken Oct 26 2009 07:25 AM Re: World Series rooting interest poll: Yankees-Phillies

I am rooting for someone to develop a time machine before the end of this series so I can go back in time and squash all the butterflies I see hoping for SOME catastrophic change that would stop this ungodly occurrence from happening.

Rockin' Doc Oct 26 2009 08:03 AM Re: World Series rooting interest poll: Yankees-Phillies

Please Lord, help the Phillies to not suddenly become stupid and forget all basic fundamentals like the Yankees previous playoff opponents. I don't want to suffer a Yankee World Series victory.

metsguyinmichigan Oct 26 2009 08:42 AM Re: World Series rooting interest poll: Yankees-Phillies

This is easy. No way I could ever pull for a team that has tormented me my entire life. The Phillies fans are insufferable idiots, now they're our insufferable idiots. And if they can take down the bastard Yankees, then they're actually doing our bidding. The enemy of my enemy is my new best friend. Tip you cap, enjoy a pulled pork sandwich and start counting the days until pitchers and catchers report. There's always a chance Pedro will throw Joe Girardi to the ground.

soupcan Oct 26 2009 10:32 AM Re: World Series rooting interest poll: Yankees-Phillies

It would be less tolerable if the Yankees won. That's the best I can do.

Met Hunter Oct 26 2009 10:41 AM Re: World Series rooting interest poll: Yankees-Phillies

No brainer. Phillies. 1) Never, I mean never, root for MFYs. 2) Always root for NL over AL. No matter what. 3) Other than the past few years, I've never given a rats ass about the Phils, their fans. Nothing. Their history is worst than ours, and they've been at it a century longer. They were never even our rivals until this team came along. 4) As far as the fans, fuck the fans. One group will be crying in a week. I choose to carry that into another long winter.

Ashie62 Oct 26 2009 11:05 AM Re: World Series rooting interest poll: Yankees-Phillies

Phillies please rip the Yankees tits off as quickly as possible I hope Jayson Werth has one of those longball streaks. Hell, I LOVE the Phillies!, for the next ten days

Willets Point Oct 26 2009 11:47 AM Re: World Series rooting interest poll: Yankees-Phillies

I root for scandal. A stash of PED's in the clubhouse. Accounting irregularities in the front office. In game, on-field arrests for off-field crimes. All played out in a media circus before a national audience.

It was a long time ago, before things were so intense. And they were playing the D-backs. At this point, I'm more horrified seeing myself 45 pounds heavier! Who is that guy!

Their history is worst than ours, and they've been at it a century longer. They were never even our rivals until this team came along.[/quote:knbwafyi] That is a great point. Unlike intra-division rivalries in college sports and the NFL, or even a "histories are forever intertwined" thing like Yankees-Red Sox or Giants-Dodgers, the intra-division, and even intra-league, rivalries are very transitional. Can you believe that almost 20 years ago the PIRATES were where the Phillies are now with the Mets? Sure the Mets and Cards have played each other in NLCSs twice this decade, but was there a hint of any of the sheer hatred from the mid-1980s? Right now its the Phillies, but a few years from now it could be the Marlins, or heck it could be a team like the Rockies after meeting the Mets a few times in a short time frame in the postseason. Unless one franchise moves, or MLB shuts down its operation, the MFY will always be the Mets #1 rival. The #2 one is always an ever changing team. So, GO PHILLIES!

[quote="G-Fafif":39mc1z24]Tug wore a Phillies cap too and we looked past that.[/quote:39mc1z24] Was it Sal/Sabermetric/whatever else he called himself that never forgave Tug for his 1980 parade remarks? I guess to some, those remarks did not hit the intended targets, as Tug had said that he was really talking about the media, and not the fanbase.

I like how, while there have been no votes for the Yankees, the votes against the Yankees have topped off at 26, just like their alleged championships.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Oct 27 2009 06:10 AM Re: World Series rooting interest poll: Yankees-Phillies

This whitewash will do nothing to stem the irritating flow of media stories portraying we Met fans as pathetic, convictionless losers when it comes to choosing sides in this WS. For Met fans this is a much easier choice than we had a year ago, for example (a 27-6 victory for the Rays). PS, can we link the archives somewhere on the new site? Thanks

metirish Oct 27 2009 06:43 AM Re: World Series rooting interest poll: Yankees-Phillies

Yes the media is digging around and finding Mets fans in strange places.....I'm surprised they've not tracked down Ben Grim , he's perfect for the articles...Mets fan in Philly land....also a New Yorker(IIRC).......oh who will he root for.....THIS IS HIS HELL....... Mike fucking Lupica is sucking on some serious yankee meat this past week , an article today lauding Hank & Hall the same guys he ripped the last few years.....I hate this time of year....I barely read the paper today becasue it was filled with nothign but yankee jizz.

Frayed Knot Oct 27 2009 07:42 AM Re: World Series rooting interest poll: Yankees-Phillies

IL games from this year. All games at YSIII: Friday May 22 -- Phils 7 - Yanx 3 The Phils jump out to an early 5-0 lead en route to smacking AJ Burnett and CM Wang around for 14 hits. HRs for Werth, Rollins, Ruiz (all off Burnett) & Ibanez (Wang). Starter Brett Myers gives up 3 runs late before giving way to Ryan Madson who pitched a perfect 9th. Game Time = 2:33 Saturday May 23 -- Yanx 5 - Phils 4 (Happ vs Pettitte) John Mayberry Jr - playing in his MLB debut - hits a 3R HR off Pettitte in the 5th to break a 1-1 tie (and while FOX was in the process of misidentifying JM Sr. in the stands). It’s 4-2 heading for the 9th but Lidge coughs up 3 runs while getting only 1 out for the walk-off win: Walk - SB - K - 2R HR (ARod) - 1B - SB - RBI 1B (Cabrera) HRs: Jeter, Rodriguez, Mayberry, Ibanez Game time = 2:33 Sunday May 24 -- Phils 4 - Yanx 3 (12 innings) Hamels vs Sabathia - Sabathia goes 8 allowing 3 runs on 9 hits - Hamels goes 6 allowing 2 runs before three middle relievers piece together a scoreless 7th & 8th. Again this leads to Lidge in the 9th and again he fumbles the lead, again giving up an RBI 1B to Melky to drive in Cano and tie the game, although he does manage to then get the next three outs and send it into extras. - In the 11th, Brent Tomko issues Utley a 2-out walk followed by an RBI 2B by Carlos Ruiz. Clay Condrey, who had danced through trouble in the bottom of the 10th, pitches a 1-2-3 bottom 11 for the save. Game time = 3:58

MFS62 Oct 27 2009 07:58 AM Re: World Series rooting interest poll: Yankees-Phillies

Steve showed up in this thread over a day ago, but there are still no Yankee votes? Curious. Later

Centerfield Oct 27 2009 08:07 AM Re: World Series rooting interest poll: Yankees-Phillies

I'm trying to think of a worse time for Mets fans and having trouble coming up with anything. This sucks as much as things can suck.

Edgy DC Oct 27 2009 08:14 AM Re: World Series rooting interest poll: Yankees-Phillies

See, I don't have a problem whatsoever with the Phils. If the Yankees are in the World Series, I don't particularly care if it's the Phils, Astros, Dodgers, or Rockies going against them. The Phils beat the Mets, let them beat everybody. If a Phillies phan talked shit to me this year, I told him his team were the champions --- congratulations --- and they don't have to talk shit anymore. Talking shit is for also-rans. It created some visible internal conflict for some of them, but I meant it well.

Benjamin Grimm Oct 27 2009 02:15 PM Re: World Series rooting interest poll: Yankees-Phillies

The last time a World Series was played between a New York team and a Philadelphia team, there was an earthquake. Of course, both of those teams had relocated to the Bay Area by then.

#31 This place is funny, landslide with no Yankmee votes and I'm guessing the most voters ever in one poll too. (I'm not actually 'rooting' for the Phils and will largely ignore a large portion of live World Series action this year)

Number 6 Oct 27 2009 11:08 PM Re: World Series rooting interest poll: Yankees-Phillies

#32, and actually, honest-to-god surprised that among such a large sample size no one is going the other way. Surprised, but not shocked.
