Your postseason rooting hierarchy

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Naw - I live in Atlanta, actually grew up here also.

But please describe to us how nice Cleveland is.

Seriously, though. I wasn't shitting on Chicago. It's one of my favorite cities in the world.

I was shitting on White Sox fans. They're like the Jerry Springer Guests of baseball.

Ha - I have only been to Cleveland once. Actually gets a far worse rep until you go.

I'm sure I've told you this, but my wife was born at tOSU hospital, and her whole family are up in Grove City, so we spend time in Cincy, and a couple of times have ventured over over to Cleveland and the surrounding areas.

Still, don't like the Buckeyes, and don't like the Indians.

Fair enough. White Sox are probably my most hated team for various reasons, not least of which is this:

Also, did you used to have a different name here?

In all of sports? Yikes. My least favorite team in sports are probably the Indians or the Nats. However, since I am not going to pay so much to watch the Sox, I tend not to watch a ton of baseball.

Yes I did. Altra & Sanctus.

That's true, too. It's not a bad place, but it's got a horrible reputation. I'm not kidding myself and pretending that it's a world-class city like Chicago or NYC, but it's got some cool shit.

Nice! Do people ever look at you like you're insane when you tell them that? I get that look when I say I hate the White Sox.

No. Michigan gets that distinction.

I go to all of the Braves games when the Cubs are in town in either my Frank Thomas or Paul Konerko jersey. I say this to let you know that odd looks are normal in my baseball life.

There aren't a lot of White Sox fans in Chicago, much less in Atlanta.

Yeah, I'm probably at...

Auburn
Tennessee
Blues/Packers
Red Wings
UGA
Nats & Indians

I concur. Remember when they attacked Tom Gamboa on the field? You can't get much more JS than that.

 

[Mebert]

Here is how they're all built...

How the 10 postseason teams were built

I like how the 2 most valuable players the Rockies have with trades are throw in prospects. The guy they are looking to trade for usually does not do much.

And sweet baby Jesus can some one stop the Rockies from spending money on Free Agents? They are terrible at it.

 

[PEOPLESCHICKEN]

Look, whenever you guys get there, you have this annoying habit of losing to the WORST POSSIBLE NL teams in the history of forever

The '16 Cubs?

 

[moxie]

She did. I think their nickname rhymes with "Rodgers"...

The ol' Codgers made the cut?! Congrats to them! I'll move them to the 8 spot! They'd be higher, but I heard that friggin' Clyde likes to load up his Depends and put a little stank on the ball. Literally!

 

[Moab]

If you say so

I've literally never met a Yankees/Pats fan

You live in New York, or the metro area (includes NJ and PA burbs), right? Of course you haven't.

He throws harder than Jamie Moyer!

Hey! The Rox might bring him out of retirement then we'd have a good ol' wing ding!

 

[Chewbaccer]

So clueless

Nothing like getting the pulse of NYC sports from some dipshit that never stepped foot in it, from the city notorious for having the worst fans in America

Like I would ever step foot in some hell hole full of bandwagon fans.

And the city I live closest to has a population of 64, I'm closer to TN and NC than I am to Atlanta, and go to Athens on a Saturday in a fall if you want to see real fans.

1. Brewers - As a Bears fan, I can honestly say it's time for someone other than the Packers to have professional sports success in Wisconsin.
2. Indians - Time for another drought to be snapped. That, and the fact that I felt bad for their fan base after we had overcome a 3-1 deficit to beat them in the WS.
3. Astros - A class organization that I was more than happy to see them win their first title.
4. Braves - Good young team. Also a big Nick Markakis fan.
5. Rockies - Had wanted to attend a spring training game of theirs. Going to be awkward now that they just eliminated my team from the postseason/
6. Yankees - Don't hate them as much as some others, but I just think it'd be a bad precedent for baseball if they and Boston finished 1-2 in the A.L. East every year.
7. Red Sox - Simply because Rod Sox fans are also Patriots fans. That, and the fact that I have engaged in some of my biggest message board brawls with Boston fans over the last decade plus.
8. Dodgers - It's L.A. Enough said.
