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!

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 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.

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

Dear Rockies - Thank you for a wonderful rollercoaster of a season! NL Wild Card Champs. Best turnaround in MLB history for a team to win the Wild Card. Can't wait to do it again next year!
Troy Tulowitzki - MLB's BEST shortstop..nuff said
Yorvit Torrealba - Re-sign!! he's en Fuego!!
Brad Hawpe- I hope I get to see you in a Rockies uniform again!

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…

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?

Well I heard such great things about it yesterday
I'm still hoping to wake up from that nightmare I had about the 9th inning of Game 4.

Wouldn't the more appropriate re-titling of Purple Row as a Yankee's site be...
“Murderer’s Row”?
Not that there could be an appropriate re-purposing/desecration.
Ignorance of the American League is a sign of good moral character.
Look out Dodgers...Purple objects in mirror are closer than they appear.
I'll be the guy in a orange shirt EVERY Monday...Broncos are my team win or lose.

Is anybody else getting crappy reception with DirecTV?
I cleaned off the dish earlier. Still seemed pretty clean when I went to do it again just now… but mine’s breaking up.

Bummer
I don’t think the snow’s picked up enough for that kind of attenuation… maybe I’ve got a coat of ice. I’ll have to hope the sun melts it off tomorrow…

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.
