i can never

get myself up to rooting for the evil empire and living in NJ surrounded by Yankee fans and knowing a lot of stupid fans i still can’t but i am rooting for the Phillies to lose

we seem to have gotten over that HURDLE

thanks for a great season Rockies!

LETS GO WINGS!

Ugh. Yankees are undoubtedly the most evil-filled team in baseball. Go Phils.

by Rather Dashing on Oct 28, 2009 5:39 PM MDT reply actions   0 recs

I have faith

that Jayson Werth, Ryan Howard, Cliff Lee, Chase Utley, and Joe Girardi can deliver another championship for the Phils. It was 28 years since they won until they won last year, so they can have one more.

Plus, they’re playing the Yankees.

I love Greg Reynolds. Deal with it, suckers.

Just to let you know

I’m on board with you, Russ. I just don’t want the Phillies to win. Plus, I think that baseball is more interesting when the Yankees are good.

Not really

I thoroughly enjoyed their disaster last year.

But from an MLB standpoint you are right, it will do better when the Yankees are good.

I harbor more animosity for the Phillies than the Yankees over the course of my life. But I hope it’s at least a few good games to watch. :-)

I don't know how

Maybe it’s the fact the Phils bounced the Rox, or that they won it all last year, or that JRoll and Howard are way overrated, but I find myself, involuntarily, wanting to see the Yankees win. I feel dirty.

Did anyone notice that while the Yankees were being announced they played the theme from Star Wars? Why wouldn’t they play the Imperial Dirge? Come on, embrace being the Empire. Also, it’s a way better piece of music.

the resultant top spin provides really quick downward movement

The downside is that it is a bit harder to control and throw with velocity (more moving parts coming out of the hand) and a trained hitter can pick up the spin pretty well. Of course, if you throw it as well as lee, it doesn’t matter

I have a (hilarious and extremely) hypothetical question:

Who would you root for in a Mets/Yankees WS?

I like the Mets

They grew on me in college (went to college in upstate NY, and my husband grew up a Mets fan). Before I came to CO, my 3 favorite teams were the Reds, the Mets, and anyone playing the Braves…

Since you have never been to CO, how are you a Rockies fan?

by Muzia on Oct 28, 2009 7:34 PM MDT up reply actions   0 recs

A misunderstanding.

Avs playing for the Cup in ’96. Friend wanted the Panthers, I went with the Avs. Classmates assumed I liked all the Colorado teams and I went with it. Baseball being my favorite sport, I went all in with the Rockies.

Since we are talking about history I have noticed a disturbing trend about the Yankees and political parties

If the Yankees win the World series this year check out what happens when Democrats are in office

Yankee World Series under Democrats

Obama = 1 (Hope this stays at zero)
Clinton = 4
Carter = 2
LBJ =0
JFK = 2

Yankee World Series under Republicans

George W.Bush =0
George Bush = 0
Ragan =0
Ford =0
Nixon = 0

It does not work as well before 1960 but that’s a 50 year trend.

Interesting isn’t it?

What were the two most awesomest catches of all time?

Willie Mayes and Barmes’s catch that wasn’t really a catch?

Jeffery Mayer and Steve Bartman’s catch.

The *only* good thing about the Phillies winning is that it would bring the honors to the NL.

And I’ve always been an NL girl.
