10.03.19 | I usually do, too. But not Washington. If they never win, it will be too soon.
I'd actually rather see the Dodgers win than any of the other NL teams. St. Louis is there too freakin' often. If the Dodgers don't win it, then I'd like to see the Braves.
In the AL, I'd prefer to see Houston. I don't think the Twins have a snowball's chance in hell, but I wouldn't mind if they won. Tampa's kind of boring, but they'd be OK too. And as a Mets fan, I can't root for the Yankees -- it's part of our contract. |

such a good WS |
Divaman
10.05.19 | I thought about it, Titan. But Mayor Giuliani said that the best thing New Yorkers could do to stick it to the bombers was to go about their normal lives and not let the attack change anything, and I agreed with that. And my normal life was to root against The Yankees. (I'm not even kidding or trying to be glib here -- that was my thought process.) For me, as a New Yorker, rooting against the Yankees just as I would have done any other year was my own personal middle finger to the terrorists. |
Divaman
10.05.19 | Meanwhile, different decade, same old Twins-Yankees playoff series. For whatever reason, there are some franchises that don't even seem to put up token resistance to the Yankees, and the Twins might be the worst of them. |
Titan
10.05.19 | Well, I rooted for your boys in 86 |
Titan
10.05.19 | And yeah Source dude, 2 of our skyscrapers came tumbling to the ground 3 weeks prior. Thats kind of what I was getting at. |
Divaman
10.05.19 | Gotta be who I am, though, Titan. Like I said, while I still don't really vote for them (although maybe I would if they were playing the WS against the Phillies and the Nationals), but I haven't really been passionately against them since we adopted our son. And if he was still mainly a Yankees fan, I'd root for them.
You've got to remember, also -- your boys have won how many pennants and how many world series? It's so high, I seriously can't even remember. My guys just have those two -- '69 and '86.
That's why I don't usually root for the Cardinals either. They're far and away the most successful franchise in the NL. |
Divaman
10.05.19 | I've gotta admit, it sweetened the pot in 2001 to know that Mike Francessa was soooooo pissed after Arizona won it, heh heh. He was fun to listen to, but he was such an arrogant sob that it was nice to see him taken down a peg. |

10.13.19 | I think my loathing of the Nats probably started when the Mets went to the World Series one year, then the Nats pilfered their best hitter. But I try not to analyze it too deeply. In the end, I don't like them just because I don't like them. I feel no need to be logical about it.
As for the Cards, I'd just rather not see them there because they've been there too often. They're historically the most successful franchise in the NL. Nothing deeper than that. |

10.15.19 | Yeah, but the Cards are asleep. Actually, as much as I'm rooting against the Nats, if you look at historical trends for who wins the World Series and when, this looks like a year wen they could go all the way. They are that wildcard team that goes on a roll. They'll go into the Series as an underdog, but I'm now afraid they could go all the way. |

It wasn’t Harper that held the Nats back. The Nats actually built a team while the Phils bought a few players without regard to pitching or team chemistry. The Nats also addressed their bullpen. |

10.31.19 | tying into everything, I remember when the Astros lost in the NLCS in 2004. That was the post-season with Carlos Beltran, who hit 8 HRs to tie a playoff record.
That offseason, the Astros took out a full page in a Puerto Rican newspaper to tell him to resign with the team. He went to the Mets instead for a more money, just like Harper. The Astros went to the WS, the Mets didn't even make the playoffs.
And then to circle it all back around, he wins it all with the Astros in 2017. |
