Who are you rooting for?

This one was close for me , I'd not mind either way but I voted Cubs.

Cubs for this round but it's up in the air after that. I'm not going to get all giddy and jump on their bandwagon even though millions of non-Cubbies fans will. * And on that note, I become a Conehead!!

Cubs. Hope for the downtrodden.

Benjamin Grimm Oct 02 2007 07:57 AM

Diamondbacks. I don't want to see the Cubs fall short of the 100-year mark.

Cubs. I want a Cubs-Indians World Series. Battle of the Milestone-Avoiders. For the Cubs, averting 100 years without a championship. For the Indians, averting 60 years without a championship.

Despite being a proponent of baseball metrics, I still think it'd be hilarious if a team with a sub-.500 Pythagorean won the World Series.

Don't really care, took the Cubs. It would be cool to keep Wrigley in the postseason for as long a stretch as they can.

Cubs, I s'pose, for no particular reason. Maybe I'll root for Cliffy.

This is the "they're in the playoffs and WE'RE NOT?" series. I saw clips of them both celebrating last Friday night and remembered how we steamrolled through the desert in May (and for the three years prior) and how we send Sweet Lou off the deep end later that same month. Man, I wish the season had been two months long. On some level I'd like to see the Cubs get the monkey off the back already, partly out of empathy with their true fans and partly so we can stop hearing about it. But when push comes to shove, I hate the Cubs. I've hated them since 1969 (as their base has hated us) and honestly I will never be able to stop hating them...Cliff Floyd notwithstanding (if he's up in the ninth inning of the final game with two on and hits one out to win it...I don't know how I'd feel). The Diamondbacks haven't done anything to offend me. And their older brothers beat the MFYs.

Ron Darling doing this game with Dick Stockton.

Frayed Knot Oct 03 2007 08:58 PM

So start one!

Johnny Dickshot Oct 03 2007 09:25 PM

How about Ronny doing the color

Interestingly, we have done things to offend them, and yet I'd be surprised if you say the name Todd Pratt to a sizable amount of DBack fans and you'd get a lot more "Who?" as opposed to "Todd F'N PRATT!" Okay, I'm being general there, but I do know that Pratt did start a game in Arizona, not sure what year it was, as a fill-in for Piazza, and the fans gave him a reaction ususally given to nondescript opponents.

Oh and go DBacks. I really want to see that Golden Jubliee celebration next year. So darn close!

Valadius Oct 04 2007 03:36 PM

Um, 50 years is a Golden Jubilee. This would be the Centennial.
