Poll question: World Series poll for fans of neither team
Who do you root for? Do you stick with your league, or do you root against your league champions on principle? Do you pick one at random? Did baseball end in September for you (or late July...Go 'Stros!)?

1. If I don't have a dog in the fight, I go with the underdog.

2. I usually go with the NL
unless that team knocked my team out of the playoffs but this year I'm rooting for the Sox because being a Mets fan, I feel a kindred Yankee hating spirit in them

5. Ouch!
couldn't have been fun to deal with that being surrounded by 55,000 excited Mets fans...but hey, you've won a WS since then, which is more than we can say

8. Doooood....
I can't even BEGIN to imagine! Those scars will last a lifetime!

Diehard Twins fan here, and usually I pull for the AL team, except I've had about enough of the sox. I was ALL for them when they beat the Yanks, but the party's ovah!

Go Rox! :bounce:

10. Root against my league championship team.
Edited on Wed Oct-24-07 01:00 PM by EOO
Hey, I had to watch as the damn Red Sox celebrate on my home field after winning the ALCS (second time this has happened). I had to watch as their arrogant douchebag fans treated me, my friends, and my fellow Angels fans like shit. I hope the Rockies kick some ass and take some names.

14. Thanks!
I wasn't at game 3, I was on a plane coming back from Cincinnati. But everyone I talked to who was at the game said that their fans were out of control.

15. I must have gotten a defective Y chromosome.
I couldn't care less and never have.
