Ichiro is the one reason I wouldn't be terribly pissed if the Yankees win. Pretty much impossible to dislike the guy.

Yeup he just got fired.
My rooting order for every postseason always goes: 1) Red Sox 2) Anyone else but the Yankees 3) Nope not rooting for the Yankees Leaning more towards thinking a Giants vs Tigers World Series will occur although before the Rangers started their skid, really thought they had the best chance at taking the AL crown again. |

Joba's serious face as he showers Ichiro with champagne is the real story here.
It's a "You're gonna get raped, and you're gonna like it" face. |

I guess I could just think of it as just Ichiro winning it by himself. That might be okay.

Also my preseason world series pick of Rangers-Nationals is still on the board. Sticking with it until one gets bounced, at which point I will pull a Jerry Lawler during the royal rumble.

The A's and O's make my top 5 because they're doing something similar to what the Rays did in 2008 (and because everybody loves an underdog). The Cardinals are #2 because they're my favorite NL team. And the Yankees are #4 because they hold Spring Training in Tampa, they have a huge fan base here, and I'd rather an AL East team win, if my Rays aren't in.

Some Rays fan. Seeing rival teams in the playoffs while your team sits home should infuriate you.

Yeah the announcement to the media came from Twitter but he probably knew since yesterday he wasn't coming back. He was most likely going to be just a transitional manager regardless how well he did considering his deal was only for two years and only the first year guaranteed.
Don't really feel happy that he's gone but neither upset considering how badly of a mess everyone was this season even if the overall mood got better once Beckett was gone (hated him a lot). |

Just the fact that you're rooting for them over other teams (or at all, really) makes you a pretty terrible Rays fan.

I'll admit...I'd rather see the Braves win than the Yankees. It'd suck either way but at least I don't have to deal with Braves fans in the office.
And I'll never root for the Nats, but I don't have the unbridled hatred of them as I do the Phillies or Braves. That'll change within a couple of years if they stay this good. |

Braves may have been the better example, teamwise.

The O's are the only other AL East team I'd consider rooting for since the Red Sox have been out of it since... all season.
Good riddance Bobby V. ![]() |

I'll admit, I was totally wrong about Bobby V. I loved him as the Mets manager and thought Boston fans were way too quick to say it was a bad signing (as they shat on it pretty much immediately after they hired him.). But yeah, this season was a huge disaster. He had to go.

![]() Something about this picture is really bothering me. Why did this Nationals bitch bring an MVP sign to the game? Who is that for? Who does she think is the MVP? Adam LaRoche? Gio Gonzalez? |

Daron Sutton and Mark Grace both fired from the D-Backs broadcast booth. Gracie for most likely his 2nd DUI and Sutton for calling out Ken Kendrick and wearing nice suits while on air.
