I don't know who to root for yet. On the one hand, a "freeway series" (as my friend called it) with Dodgers vs. Angels would be awesome. On the other hand, my family will lynch me if I root for any team that's not the Phillies. Angels Vs. Phillies would be my preferred final match-up; I think the Angels deserve it - what a great tribute to Nick Adenhart if they win this year! Plus, I might be able to get some tickets if it's over here.

The only time i have seen the Angels win the world series is in the pathetically bad angels in the outfield, a fictional movie where the angels are so bad they need an act of god to win. So angels help them cheat,lol.

Even so the two biggest teams in baseball are also cheaters they had players using steroids.

That is why i don't follow pro sports or college sports as much as i would if they did not all cheat and do roids, or cheat like a certain football team by video taping the other team.  Videogate was retarded, i can't believe even Arlen Spector got involved, it definitely was really fucking pathetic.

Are you and your family from the Philadelphia area?  If so,  you should be lynched if you don't root for the Phillies.   

I don't want the Angels, I want the Yankees.   I want to take on the evil empire.   I want revenge for the Whiz Kids.  I want to beat New York.   I want the first World Series played in their new park to be a win for the Phillies.   I want to stick it to them!

I was joking of course i was aware of 2002, i just did not watch it because it was not the Red Sox,lol.

I was also referring back to when i was a kid, when i also never believed the red sox could ever win another world series.  But allegedly the players did steroids so they cheated so it does not count, nor do all the pariots superbowls when referring to football because they cheated.  nor are like the last six world titles the Yankees have won.  I hate cheaters they are scum.

Hence, why he didn't mention them.

And let's be honest, we can't say with absolute certainty that certain players or teams didn't cheat.  For a while there, just about everyone was cheating.

Even the Phillie Phanatic is not above suspicion.

I'll warn you only this once,  do not disparage the Phanatic.

Yeah!!!!!!!!!   the Phillies thanks to J-Rolls hit in the bottom of the 9th that scored 2 runs to win the game 5-4.  We were down 3-4 and we were down to the last out in the 9th.   The Phillies are ahead 3-1 in the series.  1 more to go!!!!

nothing to add, but how interesting it is to see half my facebook friends rejoicing and the other cursing out the Dodgers.

That is an incorrect statement.

I haven't weighed in on this thread yet, but I shall do so now. Baseball is nearly as big a passion for me as motorcycles, and has been for just about as long. As a former New York City resident, I shouldn't have to tell you guys who I'm pulling for. ;-)

Yankees cap I was wearing in the right field bleachers when Jeter hit his first grand slam? - Check

Yankees t-shirts, one for every day? - Check

Yankees cap on my desk at work? - Check

Yankees flag on a flag pole at my house? - Check

I filled this out at the end of the regular season. The Phillies did better than I thought they would. I came very close on the American league.

Should be a good one. The Phillies have a few hitters who can't be taken lightly. Lee will our toughest game.

All that said, even if I weren't a Yankees fan, I'd pull for whichever team was against them - based solely on how poorly Ryan Howard & Co handled this event;

Wait, shouldn't the Cubs be the champion on that bracket?

I don't think we have the full story yet.   I read another article that said the mother was at the game as well.   That ball was a record setter for Howard, he should get.   I agree however, that the girl whom caught the ball should be compensated for the ball.   A signed ball is nowhere near as valuable as the ball she caught.  But, she did agree to the trade.  My question is, when they tried to trade the signed ball for the home run ball,  where was the mother?   The mother is a consenting adult,  if the mother consented the trade, then that is that.   The mother should know better.    A 14 year old girl can't consent to such a trade,  the adult mother should.   The mother should be smart enough to know that a home run ball like that is worth more than a signed ball.   So the question is, did just the 14 year old consent to the trade, or did the mother consent as well.   I think if the mother consented to the trade, the trade should stick.  As for the agreement to meet with Howard, I'm not sure why that didn't take place.   The article seems to indicate that maybe Howard himself didn't know anything about it.   I'd like to here the Phillies side of things.    

If you want to make this about character ok, lets do it.   What do say about the character of a team that charges ridiculous prices to get into their new "palace"?   I've heard they charge a whole lot more than the Phillies who were World Champs last year.   What does it say about the character of ownership that tears up one of the most historic baseball parks(and sports stadiums in general) in America just to make more zillions of dollars?  Did they really need to do that?   The Yankees might as well change the yankee insignia to a a dollar sign, it would be more fitting.   The Yankees symbolize greed and arrogance even more than the dallas cowboys.   Now, we come to A-Rod.  A stinking, dirty, rotten cheater.   When he comes to bat in Philadelphia, he can expect to hear chants of "you took steroids!"   

26 World Series is enough!! 

The Phillies are the defending World Champions and we are going to kick your ass!

It time to get revenge for the Whiz Kids!!!

I say again: 

Yankees suck! Yankees suck! Yankees suck! Yankees suck! Yankees suck! Yankees suck! Yankees suck!

Yankees suck! Yankees suck! Yankees suck! Yankees suck! Yankees suck! Yankees suck! Yankees suck!

Yankees suck! Yankees suck! Yankees suck! Yankees suck! Yankees suck! Yankees suck! Yankees suck!
