World Series

[Guest Oakland]

Guess you were quite happy with today's win, oakland? If you promise not to ride me too hard over it, I'll admit that I found myself rooting for a Braves comeback today!  Guess I'll pull for them at least into the series (I'm definitely NOT an Astros or Cardinals fan!) and if the Red Sox don't make it past the Skankees, then I just might root for Bobby's team all the way!

 

So, Go Braves!  Did I just say that?

Red Sox beat the Yankees in the season series 11-8...but, the Yankees won 4 out of the last 6. Plus, the Yankees are Pedro's Daddy!

well it looks houston will be moving on against st.louis. trying to figure out which team i should root for now: st.louis or boston, im sure i will get plenty of help from the cardinal faithful on here

It's okay to pull for the Red Sox...just be prepared to have your world come crashing down after they blow it.

I had two favorite teams growing up - St. Louis and Boston. The Cardinals were terrible in the 70s except for Ted Simmons and Bake McBride. But the team never won and I had no one to follow in the post season.

When I saw Fred Lynn play late in 74, I became a fan. I followed them through the 75 series with the Reds and the 78 playoff game with NY. When they let the Mets win in 86, I vowed never again to pull for the Sox. I've kept my promise no matter how strong the urge is to pull for them.

So, now, I just keep my blood running Cardinal red and nothing else.

Besides, my wife is a Yankees fan and she has assured me that the Babe will be at the series this week and will see Jeter and crew through to the World Series.

So, for your health, I would advise pulling for the Cardinals.

lol i dont think ill have to worry about my health just yet, am only 20 yrs old. i am very well aware of the red sox history and thus why i am pulling for them, and if they shall get eliminated i will root for st.luis, not neccessarily too fond of their manager but they got some great guys( not in baseball terms just as people)

I'm warning you...I was 21 in 1986 and after the World Series I aged 20 years.

You don't have to like LaRussa to like the Cardinals. Speaking from experience here.

So true! I've had nights that I despised the man for the decisions he's made during playoff games. Going into tonight, we haven't seen any - knock on wood!
