I would love to see both the Yankees and the Red Sox miss the playoffs, but that is a low probability scenario. In any event, I really want to see Tampa Bay in the playoffs.

It looked like the place that laid me off might’ve brought me back for a different position but after I sent in my updated resume they decided that since I was a “known entity” and everyone knew me already that it wasn’t necessary to interview me for the position or ask me anything about it, and they hired someone else.

So, it’s back to the drawing board.

I’m kinda rooting for them. At the very least they have an exciting offense. They are a big long shot for the WC, but it would be cool if Washington’s team could make a run. Especially after they were calling for his head in May.

I will be watching The Colts. I love Payton.

School in Chicago, and the Rays are the only likabe AL West team (and they deserve it!)

Underdogs rule! And the national league team – Brewers

Rich Harden, occasionally the Brewers and the Cardinals when I remember. Even though the Rockies are a lost cause – I do live in CO.

Because it’s in my blood, and the Rays-White Sox-Twinkies trifecta for the Make the Media Miserable dream post-season.

1.) Dan Haren to win the Cy Young
2.) Tim Hudson & Chavy to have successful surgery .
3.) Ron Washington to kick CJ Wilson’s ass for disrespecting him on the mound yesterday. (although it was sweet what Wash did)
4.) NY and Boston to suck and miss the playoffs.
5.) For the A’s to stay out of last. (finish .500)
6.) Billy and David – Bring up some more prospects!
7.) Somehow say bye bye to Embree, DFA, Foulke, Crosby,
8.) for the A’s to win on my B-Day (Tomorrow), come on Duke
9.) Make Ziggy the closer
10.) and I guess a Arizona v Tampa World Series.

They seem to have a pretty classy fan base and I have a few good friends who are Cubs fans who are good people. I’d love to see the Cubs win it this year on the 100th year of futility. Plus it would take the story away from the media. No more cursed teams in baseball any more, right?

...losing and getting Strasburg. They need him… bad.

But for someone winning it all I’d have to go with the Brewers, I hope the Sheets/Sabathia combo pays off for them.

There is a lot of excitement with both clubs here in FL.

being a new yorker. used to be more a mets fan, now not so much

also rooting for any boston area teams to lose

I root for players from the Austin area, so Huston Street and Ross Ohlendorf

I like players who make it out of nowhere, so Cust, Hannahan, Chris Coste, Ziggy

oh and I nominate Bobby Valentine to take over for Bob Geren. Or Orel Hershiser

AL
e: rays
c: indians
w: a’s, then m’s

NL
e: marlins
c: brewers
w: d-backs

1: A’s
2: Niners

Once the playoffs are set I’ll pick individual matchups. (As of now, it looks like the AL Central team and the Rays because they’d be playing the Angels and NYY/BOS)

I like how they drafted bats more than arms. It’s working out now.

are rooting for the Rays. Well, I, too, I’m on that bandwagon. It would be so awesome to see them stick it to the Boston & NY.
I also like the Rockies for no apparent reason.

It’s an awesome season all around!

I’m rooting for the A’s and only the A’s.

No, I’m not delusional. I know full well we don’t have a snowball’s chance in hell of making the playoffs. So what? It’s not like the playoffs is the only reason to root for the team.

Every day, the A’s winning just one more game is more important than what other teams win pennants. I care more about tomorrow’s A’s game than about the whole damn playoff race. Yankees, Red Sox, Angels … I don’t care who goes to the World Series. Just give the A’s one more win.

Who would you most hate seeing win?

For me? Yankee’s – Giants world series would have me purchasing a one shot hand gun. I’m sick of Boston’s shtick (who’s not?) And, well, the Cards have 10 (now… after they sold whatever might have been left of La Russa’s soul), and the A’s still have just 9. I’d prefer that the difference for second place were no more than 1.
