Who are you backing and why.

Phillies- secondary rooting interest.

 

followed by, in order:

 

Giants- This team has Juan Uribe.

 

Reds- Lot of fun to watch. Nice to see them back in October. Bonus of additional Cub fan heartache if Dusty/division rival are triumphant.

 

Braves- Bobby Cox, great city. I've always enjoyed watching the Braves. I like hearing their lil tomahawk chop thing in October.

 

Rangers- Tallest midget? Variety is the spice of life, and the AL entries this year other than Texas are nothing new.

Twins- Thome is probably the only reason I don't want the Yankees to humiliate them in a shameful 3 game sweep, that and perhaps peace of mind that the Sox got had by a great team.

 

Rays- Other than having a place within driving distance of the Trop, I've grown tired of the passionate blowjob ESPN gives this team. The Trop is as wretched as it gets when it comes to ballparks.

 

Yankees- Why do they need this again? I want to avoid the extended Steinbrenner memorial that is bound to happen when they advance to the WS, because they will.

I'll be pulling for the Reds, even though I think Votto is an a$$hole. I like Dusty and I'd be nice to see him finally get a ring.

 

I wouldn't mind seeing Tampa Bay come out of the AL.

Amazing how many ex-Sox are scattered through the playoffs this year:

Phi - Ross Gload, Contreras, Wilson Valdez

Cin - Nick Masset, Cabrera

Yankees - Boone Logan, Swisher, Vasquez

Twins - Thome

Giants - Rowand, Uribe

Rangers- I live in TX and they are enjoyable to watch. Decent pitching and hitting all around.
