Boston or Chicago?

Boston for me, although they are not as compelling as last year.

Kind of wish this matchup didn't happen in the first round. As a Bostonian, the Red Sox are my second favorite team so I always root for them, but Chicago has been waiting a long time.

I'm rooting for exciting games in this one.

I have only one rooting interest in the post-season. The rest I'm just hoping for good games ... except to the extent where I believe that one team has a better chance of knocking off you-know-who if necc further down the line.

I have no real preference, other than the fact that a Red Sox win would stick in the craw of MFY fans. But, basically, it doesn't really matter to me who wins this one.

I'm with CookieMom on this one. If the Angels and Vladdy Daddy don't take care of business then I'd prefer Boston to beat them over anyone else. But I'm kind of sick of Boston, too. I'd like a new WS champ this year.

Red Sox, without a doubt.

The White Sox have waited 46 years for a pennant, 88 years to win a post-season series. I think Eight Men Out has a statute of limitations. Also, would like to see Cubs fans squirm a little.

I'm rooting for the Red Sox. The joy they provided me last October is enough to make we wish them well (so long as it doens't hurt the Mets) until no one remains from that team.

Pale Hose. My wife's family are longtime ChiSox fans -- just as the BoSox's curse ended last year, I'd like to put their soxed brethren out of their misery.

That's a good point. A World Championship on the South Side would cause so much angst for the fans on the North Side.

Mild White Sox. I'm done with the Red Sox.

Strong Red Sox. Call it a gesture of solidarity with Bret Sabermetric. On second thought.....
|

Remember that Bret went to Boston to root for the A's because the Sox didn't need to pad their lead over the Yankees anymore. That worked out real well.

I lived in the Bridgeport community, only blocks from the old Commiskey, for four years. In the evenings, I could hear the crowds from our apartment.

I think we need a Man on the Streets of Chicago report from Bubba Sponge.

Personally I don't see a purpose rooting for Boston. We act like they are our pals, but seriously is there any real Red Sox fan that would root for the Mets after the events of 1986?

Go Sawx, they've been my AL team for years and years - not just last.

After the Red Sox shut up the MFY fans about the stupid curse I don't care about them anymore. Go White Sox.
