Talk about heartbreaking...

This season was crazy.  There were tears shed, laughs shared, and most of all: overwhelming love for Wonder Boy.  Oh, and yeah, I guess something about that Mauer guy.  MVP or something?  Whatever.

But now the question is...where do your loyalties lie?  Just from reading posts around Twinkie Town, it seems the Angels are a favorite of Twins fans to win, but some of you may be harboring secret Yankee love or something.  And since it's completely none of my business, I want to know.

Star-divide

So....here it is.  Which World Series winner would you like to see in 2009?  An Angels team playing for a fallen comrade?  A Yankees "team of destiny" (sorry, threw up a little in my mouth there)?  A Dodgers team ready to come back?  Or maybe a Rockies team trying to make a name for themselves again?  Or, I suppose, a Phillies team looking to go back-to-back?

 

Vote away, good sirs (and madams)!

I think some people might prescribe to the "I root for the team that beat me" philosophy.

I, personally, want to see the Yankees burn. :\

WTF?
secret Yankee love

That should be illegal! Gross!

I'm all for the underdogs...

(I’m a Twins fan, remember?) but I’m also all for the AL as long as it’s not the Yankees. :)

I voted Angels

For Adenhart, for Torii, and for what a big market Twins team would look like (right on, whoever said that earlier.) I would be really happy with a Rockies win too – love the underdogs. But in a tiebreaker, I probably would go with the AL, so probably the Angels.

I think that was a less cowbell/fischean brainchild.

but yeah…Rockies would be alright, but there’s just something about the Angels this year that makes me think they’ve got it. And they deserve it. :)

I hate the smirking smug little turds with the NY on their hats!

just the worst.

its even worse when you see the ones wearing the green or red hats with NY logo. You never know if they are an actual fan or not.

The flat-brimmed, sideways, hip-hop cap ones are worse

I have nothing against hip-hop, I just picture Static Cling wearing one of those.

I was speaking about Jeter, Damon, and Swisher

A-Roid looks like the juice made his face like like Ardi.

Pettit looks like he’s he just sat on something sharp.

Joba looks, well, like Joba.

Mariano looks like he has never smiled in his life.

But the three smirking smug little turds are the hardest to take.

Angels-Rockies

World Series would make me happy. Yankees-Dodgers would make me want to slit my wrists.

The Angels-Rockies WS would pretty much be perfect this year.

Really, though, just as long as it’s not the Yankees…

Awww, Rockies eliminated tonight.

Didn’t really want to see the Phillies win. Hmm. :\

Too bad

For the Rox, I mean. It’s up to the Angels now, A WS with any of the other 3 would have no interest for me.

yeah, same here.

but we have vested interests in the Angels, too. Probably makes a difference.

Yeah, for sure.

But I was really hoping for the Rockies to represent the NL. Such a shame. Neither the Dodgers or Phillies do anything for me.

Again..as long as it’s not the Yankees for the AL.
