Who would you like to see win?

Benjamin Grimm Oct 03 2010 02:57 PM Re: ALDS Rooting Interest Poll: Rays vs. Rangers

I'm kinda torn on this one. I'd like to see the Rangers advance, but since the real important task is stopping the Yankees, I want the Rays to survive. So I'm voting Tampa.

Rays. The team is about to cut salary so this'll probably be the last go-round for this group.

Tough one because Francoeur is on Texas. I'm serious! But I'll go with Tampa because with that staff, they have a better chance of beating the MFYs if they meet.

Valadius Oct 03 2010 03:50 PM Re: ALDS Rooting Interest Poll: Rays vs. Rangers

Very tough for me, but I'm going with the Rangers considering that they've never been to the World Series.

GO Texas! in honor of Frenchy and Nolan Ryan I'd much rather see the Yanks vs the Phils in the WS. Not Tampa Bay, or even the Rangers for that matter. Ive already seen a Phils/Rays series and if it came to a Texas/Philly WS there's the fact that the Rangers have never won one, so I can appriciate that if an N.L. team can't take the trophy. Perfect personal sceanario? Phils vs the Yanks and they are all great and exciting games, Philly taking it in a fantastic extra inning seventh game.

Sorry Z, I don't feel like living through my personal hell for a second straight year.

I went Rangers because the Rays griping that their fans don't support them and the Rays fans not supporting them both turned me off. And maybe Cliff Lee will be death on the MFYs again.

I want to see Josh Hamilton mash his way to the WS.

I voted for the Rays because I like them better as a team, but I think the Rangers getting a chance at a first pennant and first World Series would be interesting too. Also, I kind of like the idea of a Twins-Rangers ALCS and wonder if there's anyone left in Washington who would find that tortuous.

The Rays if only to show the MFYs it mattered. Joe Girardi: "We're not in it to win a division, we're here to win a World Series" Suck it, Joe.

Rays, bayyybeeeee. That's a tribute to Rays fan Dick Vitale. http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/blog/big_le ... mlb-109574 I want to see Bud Selig interviewed in a half empty stadium during the World Series opener. Later

This How about the idea that Girardi not only didn't care about the division because they only care about the WS as noted above but that he wanted to avoid Cliff Lee?, what a fucking jerk, way to show chanfidence in your team.

Perfect scenario is the Yankees are all arrested in a steroid sting. Jeter is, of course, the ringleader. He's also implicated in gun-running, human trafficking... narco-terrorism --- the whole shebang.
