For whom are you rooting?

There's something goofy about the Rangers. I don't know, but it draws me. The Mets gave them some of their best baseball of the year.

Gross Sun Belt climates, flyaway fan bases... I have a mild dislike of both. I like Maddon and dislike some of the Rays a little less than their Texan counterparts, though.

Yeah, these polls should have a "I Don't Care, Just Want Good Games" button cuz I'd sooner click that box than pretend to be a fan of either of these teams.

Def have less rooting interest in this one than in any of the other three so I'd put it in the 'just wanna see a good series' category - although sometimes in the midst of a series I find myself pulling one way or the other without any particular fore-thought going into it. I have only one AL goal anyway.

I voted Rays. Spunky AL East team. (I seem to be prone to be partial to teams that have to deal with the Evil Empire in their division.)

Rays momentum too much fun to stop now.

I have much respect for the Rays because any team that can assist in keeping the Yankees or Red Sox out of the postseason on a regular basis (that's 3 out of the last 4 years now) is a very good thing. I suppose I'm most neutral on this series out of all 4; don't have anything specifically against the Rangers.

I kind of hate both, but the Rays did knock off a fat cat.

Raze.

Texas , I'm a huge George Bush fan and he has ties there.

metsguyinmichigan Sep 29 2011 03:37 PM Re: ALDS Rooting Interest Poll: Rays vs. Rangers

I can be happy with either result.

themetfairy Sep 29 2011 03:50 PM Re: ALDS Rooting Interest Poll: Rays vs. Rangers

Rays, because of what they accomplished yesterday. I could be easily swayed, though - it's a slight preference.

bmfc1 Sep 29 2011 07:58 PM Re: ALDS Rooting Interest Poll: Rays vs. Rangers

Fine either way but CJ Wilson's tweet yesterday about Jose gives the edge to Tampa.

I really don't care, Texas I guess.

Tampa. I went to grad school in Texas, and I'm still mad about it.

I like the Rays. Any team that has Eva Longoria playing third base for them is okay in my book.
