I'm pulling for the Tigers to win but I think with Cabrera hurting and that scary bullpen I don't see them getting past Boston. I'm not so sure Boston isn't the most evenly talented team of the four left, they do the whole game pretty well.

i'm fucking livid that this game got pushed back to 8pm. living in england, this would have been the last game i got to see in real-time, and a potential decider; i sat down on the couch, cracked open a cold one and stared slack-jawed at my entertainment devices, which all reported that the 4:30 start time i'd anticipated, and planned my evening around, was apparently just an invention of my imagination

did u forget the phillies winning
Tampa Bay won the pennant, so that was a salve. (I had to look that up, so yes I have sort of forgotten.) Also rain-delay hilarity to make Selig look like an ass.

i am the same as morbs, i can't watch a sports game without a rooting interest, even if i'm just choosing one at random because i don't care about either team. if the result of the game is gonna piss me off either way why would i waste my time, enough things piss me off already, *pursue a beautiful life*
also i've never had anything against the phillies, they were my dad's team growing up and their fans at least own up to being assholes. and 2001 was a great WS! it ended in jeter crying.
― ^^ post obviously honoring and supporting Qualcomm (zachlyon), Sunday, 20 October 2013 16:02 (eleven years ago)
and i usually don't have a problem with the WS bc the cards are the only NL team i really don't like. wld have no problem rooting for any other NL team vs BOS or NYY.
i do like beltran and i love koji, maybe i'll watch some games for them

my concerns re sporting events where my fav team isnt playing

can usually find someone to root for even if im not into either team tho
― lag∞n, Sunday, 20 October 2013 16:38 (eleven years ago)

i know someone who is a snotty diehard sports fan who just hates every single team, player or "story" that comes out of espn, the only team i know he roots for is the bills, which means he also hates his own team, and it's tiresome and i just want to tell him "maybe you should just stop watching sports for a while"
