BASE-BALL

[Rothman]

Eh, Sox went farther than anyone predicted, but Astros had our number the entire season.  I was pleasantly surprised by them winning two games, given how regular season matchups went.

[Flint1979]

The Red Sox lost? That's some good news.

[jp the roadgeek]

HELL YEAH!

Glad to see my hated rivals knocked out.

Still sore about the $34 million spent this year to get 4 outs?

[Roadgeekteen]

HELL YEAH!

Glad to see my hated rivals knocked out.

We made to the ALCS spending less money than your wild card loss.

[Alps]

HELL YEAH!

Glad to see my hated rivals knocked out.

We made to the ALCS spending less money than your wild card loss.

You still lost.

[Roadgeekteen]

HELL YEAH!

Glad to see my hated rivals knocked out.

We made to the ALCS spending less money than your wild card loss.

You still lost.

I'll take a deep playoff run over a wildcard loss.

[Max Rockatansky]

Both the Yankees and Red Sox accomplished nothing.

Which is a good thing.

This might surprise most Red Sox fans but they are pretty much just as unliked by the wider MLB fandom as the Yankees.

That is true. I have met a lot of people that hate the Red Sox. They have basically become what they hate and that's the Yankees. It's actually become a thing to hate all Boston teams. I don't really have any reason to dislike the Bruins but the rest of the teams there I don't like them but then again Bruins fans are the same people. I feel sorry for Bruins fans having to listen to Jack Edwards though. I like seeing the Original Six teams in the playoffs so the Bruins are alright but the rest of the Boston teams can go to hell.

[Roadgeekteen]

Good job Braves, I'm rooting for you.

[Alps]

Good job Braves, I'm rooting for you.

Both teams I was rooting for in the ALCS won. I'm rooting for the Braves on principle of not having cheated recently, but there's 1996 so I... am focusing on hockey

Why that hate for the Celtics?  Storied franchise, legends.  The Hollywood Fakers are more detestable with their glitz and glamor.  As for New York sports teams, the only teams I really hate are the Yankees and (to a lesser degree) the Jets.  Only hate the Mets for 86, the Knicks haven't won anything in almost 50 years, the Nets a little bit for their attempts to be like the Yankees in buying titles, and there's really no reason to hate any of the hockey teams because they're usually in another division.  And I grew up watching both the Giants and Pats, and rooting for both was never a problem until 2008 (started watching football around 84-85).  I grew up a Whalers fan and my family had season tickets, and I used to hate the Bruins because their fans would take over the Hartford Civic (now XL) Center.  But the fights in the stands were better than on the ice.  My fandom did not follow Sleazy Petey to Carolina, and I was a free agent for years.  I did eventually gravitate to the Bruins because my dad was a huge Bobby Orr fan, and their games were available on TV 38 when I was a kid.  And yes, I do miss Fred Cusick calling the games; got excited sometimes, but nowhere near as over the top as Jack.

It's official - Astros vs. Braves in the World Series.

[kevinb1994]

Congrats to the Braves for making it to the World Series.

Go Braves! For now.

[Flint1979]

Go Braves

The Celtics is easy, I hate the NBA and don't even watch the highlights of an NBA game so I don't have any desire to like them. The Red Sox I used to not mind them before 2004 but since then they've been just like the Yankees. The Patriots, they are cheaters for one thing, for another thing I'm done with the NFL I haven't watched a single game all year and I know he's not a Patriot anymore but I'm tired of Tom Brady but he spent the majority of his career there. The Bruins like I said I just hate Jack Edwards other than that I really don't hate them and have actually rooted for them before. They played my favorite team in the 2013 SCF and lost so I'm not hating them plus I called into WBZ when they won in 2011 and chatted with Dan Rea for a few minutes so my hatred for the Bruins isn't there.

And there was the John Coppolella GM scandal involving foreign players that led to him being banned from baseball in 2017.  However, that did not directly affect on-field performance.

[CtrlAltDel]

Both teams I was rooting for in the ALCS won.

I don't think both teams can win the ALCS. 

[ilpt4u]

Both teams I was rooting for in the ALCS won.

I don't think both teams can win the ALCS. 

But what if both teams also lose the NLCS?!?

Both teams win and lose in the AL(anland)CS

[gr8daynegb]

Now to see who people want to lose this WS the most(or which city/team do people think has the moral high ground) .........the city that lost the ASG or the city of the garbage can scandal.

The Braves don't have anything to do with voter-suppression laws passed by the state of Georgia, so I'll root for them over the team that actively cheated.

I had to translate that because I thought it meant something else than what you intended it to be. Whew! Go Braves!
