Me neither. The Phillies ca. 2007-2009 annoyed me because they were successful against the Mets, but for the most part I still respected them.

BLEEEEP. Ha, that was funny. You're funny Ortiz.

Elbows on the basepaths, fun-policing JoseJoseJoseJose for home run celebrations, purposeful "accidental" interference with throws, spikes-up sliding on DP attempts, CONSTANT plate-crowding... by all reports, he's a decent, accommodating human being off-field, but on-field, he's what fans of his teams call a "gamer," and what most other people with eyes call "dirty like a brothel's sheets."

I believe my dislike for Victorino came from the days when the Phillies were acting as the fun police and calling out Jose Reyes for being too celebratory.

Just like the 2013 Cardinals, it was a total hypocritical double standard bullshit pot-calling-kettle-black situation, with Victorino as happy to showboat as anyone. Is Victorino still a tool? Hard to say.

I guess I would root for Boston over the Cardinals but this is clearly the worst World Series matchup since Satan's Series.

Yep. I'm rooting for a comet to hit Busch Stadium.

[Lefty Specialist]

I look at it this way. Does one of these teams winning the World Series cause Yankee fans additional pain?

If so, root for that team. Doesn't work when it's Giants-Rangers, but it does here.

Torii Hunter was my Al guy like Beltran was my NL guy. I wanted them to finally get to play in a World Series.
Oh well. At least Carlos made it.
