NLDS Rooting interest poll: Phillies-Brewers

[Benjamin Grimm]

Who would you like to see win the NLDS?

[metirish]

Not an easy choice , I'm 60 / 40 going for the Brewers.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I'm rooting for an early exit by the Phillies, mainly so I can stop hearing about them.

I think, though, that they'll get by the Brewers and succumb to the Cubs or Dodgers.

[Gwreck]

Another sweep of the Phillies in the first round would do the trick.

26 years is a long time to wait.

[Guest sharpie]

Brewers. I've got nothing against them. Not like the Phillies.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

The Brewers aren't even in the National League as far as I'm concerned. Go Phils.

Read where Burrell strained his back in bp

[Vic Sage]

good. in this contest, i'm rooting for injuries.

[bmfc1]

In my mind, the Mets lost the WC, the Brewers didn't win it. I like Ryan Braun ("The Hebrew Hammer") and Corey Hart helped my fantasy team. I wish nothing but despair for the Phillies and their fans.

[soupcan]

Brew Crew.

[Guest AG/DC]

The Brewers lost the Wild Card before the Mets lost it.

[Guest themetfairy]

The Brewers. Primarily to shut up the Philles phans whom I live among.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Scarlett and I have the same perspective on this series.

[G-Fafif]

I wish for Prince Fielder to assume the Ving Rhames role from "Pulp Fiction" and go medieval on the asses of the Phillies. There is no ambivalence here. Whatever tiny shred of admiration I had for the Phillies' ability to turn it on in September while other teams turn it off was lost to the sign the Phillies fan at CPB held up on Saturday. It had our NY and the phrase "UNIVERSAL SIGN FOR CHOKING".

Even if it's true, I want that person and every person who cares for them to feel nothing but searing intestinal pain for days and weeks and months and years to come. Congratulations Phillies. It took a while, but I hate you more than the Braves.

Victorino should feel it, too.

[Guest AG/DC]

The window of opportunity is ope'd only so long when your stars are really really fat. So why not let the Brews have their moment?

Phuck the Phillies. Go Brew.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Brewers. I want to see Jimmy Rollins and the rest of the Phillies poinded into submission as rapidly as possible.

[metsmarathon]

brewers.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

So it's me and who else? vs. 17 of ya.

Brewers? They f-ed up everything.

[Guest Kong76]

I can't root for the Phillies. Ever.

No, the Mets f'd up everything. The Brewers managed to pull out of their own tailspin to take advantage of our fuck up. No ill will toward them.

Phillies

[Willets Point]

Tough choice really:

The Brewers are fat, named for people who make beer, play in a city of extremely nice people and have that not been in the playoffs for 26 years underdog charm. Plus it would be cool for them to be the first team to win pennants in both leagues.

On the other hand I always tend to root according to the same league/same division loyalty rule, so the Phillies have that going for them. Philadelphia in general is suffering a drought of championships. My friends in Philly have a three-year old son who loves the team and is heart-broken when they lose. And if the Phillies are going to keep edging out the Mets they may as well at least get a pennant out of it.

So, slight edge to the Phillies.

[Guest cooby]

]And if the Phillies are going to keep edging out the Mets they may as well at least get a pennant out of it.

My thoughts exactly.
They better make it worth losing, dang it!

I can see league, but division? You rooted for the Braves all those years in
the playoffs? That's clinically sick if you did. If you didn't, and your hate for
Glavine bbbyyy makes me think you didn't, then you're just kissing cooby butt.

[Guest cooby]

Now stop it! He did not pick the same as I did on all of these!

[Guest Kong76]

Oh jeez, getting scolded over here.

Good point. I didn't root for the Braves. For some reason I just don't have the hate for Philadelphia that I did for the Braves. Maybe because the Braves always whupped the Mets while with the Phillies the Mets have basically whupped themselves.

[Guest Iubitul]

="KC"] then you're just kissing cooby butt.

Well, there are worse reasons for doing things...

I'm only rooting for one thing in the playoffs - anyone but the Phillies.

[soupcan]

I've hated the Phillies since the days of Bull-Schmidt.

And you don't even have to live with their phans!
