World Series rooting interest poll: Yankees-Phillies

[metirish]

Yes the media is digging around and finding Mets fans in strange places.....I'm surprised they've not tracked down Ben Grim , he's perfect for the articles...Mets fan in Philly land....also a New Yorker(IIRC).......oh who will he root for.....THIS IS HIS HELL.......


Mike fucking Lupica is sucking on some serious yankee meat this past week , an article today lauding Hank & Hall the same guys he ripped the last few years.....I hate this time of year....I barely read the paper today becasue it was filled with nothign but yankee jizz.

Rooting for DeNiro to show up as the umpire and threaten to kill Wesley Snipes in the rain.[/quote:37vfft9e]

Wasn't that Leslie Neilsen ump'ing in the Angels series?

IL games from this year. All games at YSIII:

Friday May 22 -- Phils 7 - Yanx 3
The Phils jump out to an early 5-0 lead en route to smacking AJ Burnett and CM Wang around for 14 hits.
HRs for Werth, Rollins, Ruiz (all off Burnett) & Ibanez (Wang).
Starter Brett Myers gives up 3 runs late before giving way to Ryan Madson who pitched a perfect 9th.
Game Time = 2:33


Saturday May 23 -- Yanx 5 - Phils 4 (Happ vs Pettitte)
John Mayberry Jr - playing in his MLB debut - hits a 3R HR off Pettitte in the 5th to break a 1-1 tie (and while FOX was in the process of misidentifying JM Sr. in the stands).
It�s 4-2 heading for the 9th but Lidge coughs up 3 runs while getting only 1 out for the walk-off win: Walk - SB - K - 2R HR (ARod) - 1B - SB - RBI 1B (Cabrera)
HRs: Jeter, Rodriguez, Mayberry, Ibanez
Game time = 2:33


Sunday May 24 -- Phils 4 - Yanx 3 (12 innings) Hamels vs Sabathia
- Sabathia goes 8 allowing 3 runs on 9 hits
- Hamels goes 6 allowing 2 runs before three middle relievers piece together a scoreless 7th & 8th. Again this leads to Lidge in the 9th and again he fumbles the lead, again giving up an RBI 1B to Melky to drive in Cano and tie the game, although he does manage to then get the next three outs and send it into extras.
- In the 11th, Brent Tomko issues Utley a 2-out walk followed by an RBI 2B by Carlos Ruiz. Clay Condrey, who had danced through trouble in the bottom of the 10th, pitches a 1-2-3 bottom 11 for the save.
Game time = 3:58

Steve showed up in this thread over a day ago, but there are still no Yankee votes?
Curious.

I'm trying to think of a worse time for Mets fans and having trouble coming up with anything.

This sucks as much as things can suck.

[Guest Edgy DC]

See, I don't have a problem whatsoever with the Phils. If the Yankees are in the World Series, I don't particularly care if it's the Phils, Astros, Dodgers, or Rockies going against them. The Phils beat the Mets, let them beat everybody.

If a Phillies phan talked shit to me this year, I told him his team were the champions --- congratulations --- and they don't have to talk shit anymore. Talking shit is for also-rans. It created some visible internal conflict for some of them, but I meant it well.

long-term debilitating injuries... or a meteor would be good too.

[Benjamin Grimm]

The last time a World Series was played between a New York team and a Philadelphia team, there was an earthquake.

Of course, both of those teams had relocated to the Bay Area by then.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

I don't want the Phillies to win, I just want the Yankees to lose.

[Guest cooby]

I'm #30

[Guest Kong76]

#31

This place is funny, landslide with no Yankmee votes and
I'm guessing the most voters ever in one poll too.

(I'm not actually 'rooting' for the Phils and will largely ignore
a large portion of live World Series action this year)

[Guest Number 6]

#32, and actually, honest-to-god surprised that among such a large sample size no one is going the other way. Surprised, but not shocked.

[HahnSolo]

33 would be me.

[dgwphotography]

If only the actual world Series could be as lopsided in the same direction...

[metirish]

Rollins says Phillies in five

[MFS62]

There are this many real CPF-ers?
Looks like some of them logged on with multiple IDs, or new folks joined us, just to vote.
A worthy effort.

Don't be so cynical. I'd bet 60 distinct users have posted here this gloomy month alone.

WOW!
60?
Didn't think there were that many active users around here. But then, I haven't been really counting.

Technically, I would have lost the bet, as duan and The Big O last posted on September 30, but it was in the last 30 days, anyhow. I tried to eliminate guys like m.e.t.b.o.t. who were posting from the keyboard of another user.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

So only about half the people voted in the poll? Hey! Could be be that they're Yankee fans who don't want to out themselves?

Nah!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Num-ber 2! Num-ber 2!

watch that # drop when LFWS Jr comes along.......


does that actually mean something anyway Edgy?

[Benjamin Grimm]

My guess is that it was in order of most recent posting at the time that Edgy captured the names.

[metirish]

Oh so it deosn't mean that LFWS is the #2 man around here?....

[MFS62]

Thank you.

Yeah, that's why I mentioned the guys at the bottom of the list who last posted 9/30.

[metirish]

The bottom feeders as they are known.
