No matter how much I want to hate baseball....

[johnnie]

It's in my blood. I try not to watch, but when I am surfin and I see it, I have to stop. There is nothing in the world like a good baseball game.

[ComerPerro]

1. I know. I don't even like the Cardinals or the Tigers

(or the Mets or the A's or the Dodgers or Yankees or Padres or Twins)

but, still, I watch...

[Broken_Hero]

3. Same here....

I'm going for Detriot though...they were in the gutter for a long time, and now...look at them now...:) I got a soft spot for cinderella/underdog teams...:)

[ComerPerro]

11. I go with the AL team unless its the Yankees

[Broken_Hero]

13. Yep, I basically do the same thing...

I usually go for the AL West team, cause I'm a Mariner fan...but since the Tigers were playing the A's, I was pulling for the Tigers...they have been gutter rats for a while, and I like the underdog....but, the only time I pull for the NL, is when the Yanks are representing the AL!...one of the best series, of late was Diamondbacks/Yanks....when Gonzalez hit that line drive into centerfield to win the game...I believe I jumped about 5 feet in the air, and yelled my ass off...:)

[ComerPerro]

14. I hate everything about every Detroit team

but I am so for the Tigers this year. They deserve it.

I'll be happy if they win the WS, but I'll slip effortlessly back into despising them.

[Broken_Hero]

15. I have no reason to despise them

to be honest...they remind me of the KC Royals, just another gutter team, except for this year....

[ComerPerro]

16. Well, the royals would need to shell out 35 million more

to match the Tigers.

But Detroit bought up a few good (but not great) players, put some money into their operation (but still aren't in the top ten payrolls), but a good team together, and has played very well all season.

I can respect them for that and root for them.

But don't make me like them, lol

2. Baseball is a cool sport.

The reg. season is so drawn out but the playoffs rock.

[Roon]

5. I don't watch baseball

until it's down to the wire in the world series....then I watch

[johnnie]

6. I love baseball

It is probably the most strategic game there is, and I get a kick out of great managers. That last out gave me shivers. I think I'm going with the Tigers on this one.

[bigwillq]

12. I'm rooting for Detroit too.

Let's keep it in the AL.

[SeattleGirl]

4. Baseball is my FAVORITE sport!

Been watching it all my life. I love it!

[deadparrot]

7. My campus is going crazy right now.

I have no doubt that we're going to get our ass kicked by Detroit, but I'm just happy right now. I never expected them to advance this far, so anything we get at this point is a miracle.

I'm gonna miss baseball. Luckily, it has a fairly short off-season, and we'll be back to spring training in four months or so.

8. Who could ever hate baseball? I love it!

[johnnie]

9. Well, I can think of a hell of a lot of Mets fans right now

Who are hatin' it. LOL

[SammyWinstonJack]

17. Well that wouldn't be me.......................

:-)

[u4ic]

10. Me...

:yoiks:

Okay, I don't hate it, am just indifferent to it.



I think the last game I watched was the Blue Jays winning the World Series. :rofl:

[fujiyama]

18. I used to find it really boring

but I have actually been to Tigers games at Comerica, that too in '03 when they were facing their worst season, but that was just an excuse to go drink.

But I really haven't felt this much excitement around a sports championship before. It just feels bigger than even the Pistons championships and Red Wings Stanley Cup playoff games. If only the Lions could make it to the Superbowl (HAHAHAHAHA).
