Poll question: Who do you want to win the World Series?
So, with all the playoff spots locked up, it's time so see who the Lounge in rooting for in the playoffs.

Pick who you would PREFER to win, not who you think will win.

7. Worst chokers ever
1 World Series in all these years of winning the division.

For that, and the Tomahawk Chop, they deserve their place in hell just one notch above the Republican Right-Wing Yankees.

Couldn't care less, as long as it's NOT the George Steinbrenner Corporation.

9. Anybody but the Yankees
The GOP of baseball. The Bandwagoner's Wet Dream. The most entitled, spoiled lot of assholes to ever disgrace a uniform. For Pay-rod alone, they deserve nothing but humiliation and eternal scorn. And for Randy Johnson and Jeter too.

:thumbsdown:

10. As a New Yorker, GO YANKEES!
Edited on Mon Oct-03-05 04:41 PM by Ignacio Upton
And just because I'm a Yankees fan does not make me a Freeper. Remember Kurt Schilling shilling for Bush last year?

17. Yankee fan does not equal freeper
However, that being said, as a Mariner's fan, I absolutely cannot in any way shape or form root for the Yanks. (And yes, the Mariner's stunk up the joint again this year, but oh well.....I love 'em anyway).

:hi:

26. Freepers aside...
Edited on Mon Oct-03-05 05:52 PM by ZombyWoof
They are the GM, the Pentagon, the Chamber of Commerce of baseball. They are as soulless and vacant as the suits in the head office of any large corporation.

To root for the Yankees is akin to rooting for Donald Rumsfeld. :D

27. A-rod donated to Bush too
Check www.newsmeat.com

ALL ball teams have Repukes.

Remember, Steinbrenner was busted for ILLEGAL campaign contributions to Nixon in '72 (doesn't get much scummier than that). Don't think for a moment he didn't support Bush.

13. Gotta go with my Braves
But mix their history of choking in the playoffs and add it with my pessimissim. . . it's not going to happen . .

So in all honesty if the Braves don't . . I like to see the Padres just for the hell of it :).

19. Angels
Being a Mariner's fan, I don't normally root FOR another AL West team, and I have nothing against Boston (rooted my head off for them last year), but I kind of like having a different team win the Series each year.
