>Root, Root, for the ……WHO???

>I am torn, I love baseball so even though the Mets gagged it up I have been tuning into the playoffs – what am I going to do – watch hockey, watch my 401(k) go down further?? So to make things more interesting I feel I need to have a dog in the race. So who to choose?

Phils

Pros

– dislike the Phils because they beat my team but I admire the grit. These guys want it more than the Mets do 10 times out of 10.
– great alternate uni’s – and they wear them in the playoffs! nice work.
– Charlie Manuel – guy gets hammered for his game strategy but they seem to play for the guy, plus his Mom died today so winning a pennant would be a nice distraction.

Cons

– the ballpark is annoying, I hate bandboxes.

Dodgers

Pros

– like the ‘Hey Hank Steinbrenner – SUCK IT’ angle with Torre managing
– road uniforms are nice, got rid of the white trim (hey Yankees – look into this)

Cons

– still lingering dislike of Dodgers from childhood because they wiped the floor with the Mets – plus -eff them – they abandoned Brooklyn and then 35 years later had the balls to sue a little bar in Brooklyn that called itself ‘The Brooklyn Dodger’. Eff off, the word Brooklyn isn’t owned by your club.
– I have read too many comments from people saying the owner and his wife are annoying and stick their nose into baseball matters – this isn’t a toy, it’s a team – hire people who know what they’re doing and leave them alone
– fans in LA – the cheering of a crowd in LA sounds like the crowd at a Met afternoon game when they let the camp kids come. Yes, LA fans sound like a bunch of screaming, annoying children – and then they leave early to beat traffic. It’s the playoffs! The games start early for TV?? It’s 8:30 – where are you going????? At least the kids make it to the 8th before they leave.
– Manny – guy quit on his teammates, knocked down a 64 year old guy because he didn’t get him 16! tickets for his friends/family on short notice, has Scott Boras as his agent and had the stones to call out Boston mgmt and ownership when they bent over backwards for him and by the way paid him over 160 million bucks over his time there. MOSFU Manny.

As you can tell the Dodger con list is extensive. Go Phillies. Really going out on a limb here because they are now up 2-0 but hey you gotta pick sides sometimes.
