40. Have the Rangers won a World Series? In any millennium??
By that logic, the football team we all love to hate wouldn't have a chance, either.

Oh, right, they don't. :P

3. Yankees are like the 1% that runs the country
they buy pennants and championships while banksters buy politicians to make laws in their favor.
frankly baseball is so tilted in favor of the rich franchises I quit watching years ago. But even among the filthy rich, the Yankees are exceptional for bending rules.

28. I like the way Bill Maher put it:
"Baseball is like The Real Housewives Of Orange County - you have to be a rich bitch just to get in."

23. Actually, they did pretty good in September.
This year, they sucked in the first half of the season.

17. Yankees with Phillies a close second
Yankees for obvious reasons. The Phillies because so many Philly fans are such notorious assholes. I like how all the fans at Citizens Bank Park cheered wildly when the Philly reliever almost took out Allen Craig's head last night with a fastball. Stay classy, Philly. :eyes:

18. I'm a Red Sox fan.
Even though they sucked this year, I don't want the Yankees to win. It's a New England thing, y'know?

25. I hate all of the teams playing right now
so the season is over as far as I'm concerned. Well, I don't hate Tampa Bay-I just don't give a rat's ass about them.

31. Texas, though actually as long as the WS is not Cards-Rangers, I will be happy.
Because I honestly don't give a shit about professional sports in general, but I just moved to Texas from St. Louis, and if this matchup happens, it will be all my relatives will be able to talk to me about until at least New Year's.
