Let's see... I help run a restaurant/bar in Minneapolis... Twins, I think.

Twins, I even rooted for them in the playoffs.  I hate cubs and their fans.

I would root for the Cubs. At least its a Chicago team, rather than the asshole Twins :|

I know I said that about Yanks/Sawx winning the AL East...I hate both of those teams so much. Other than the Sox getting to the Series, both of those 2 being defeated in the ALDS was the happiest moment of this postseason for me.

 

 

As for the topic at hand...I'd probably agree with Los. I want the Sox to get the first Series in Chicago since 1917...I would root my ass off against the Cubs if they were in our situation right now.

 

As for Minnesota...good fans, good team, great organization up and down...once the Sox/Twins have been eliminated, I usually root for them, unless they're playing the Sox.

 

Probably a hard decision all in all...if we are assuming the Sox win it this year, I root for the Cubs, because it would be great for the city of Chicago to have back-to-back World Series champions, both teams ending incredibly long droughts. If we are assuming they lose, and the World Series next year is Cubs-Twins, I root Twins every second of every day.

I dont mind the twins as much. They play the game right, and their fans are not horrible. I dislike the indians much more and the tigers as well. I root for the twins when we have gotten eliminated.

...right

Twins, is this even a question?

 

As much as I dislike some of the Minnesota players, they actually have some guys who respect like Hunter, Nathan, Santana, etc. Also have a good manager. I dislike the Tigers a whole lot more than Minnesota.

 

Cubs, on the other hand, I totally hate as every Sox fan should. I would never root for those bastages under any circumstance.

The Twins. I have a lot of respect for what that organization can do on a tight budget.

 

However, if any of you tell that to my Minnesota friends, I will hunt you down like dogs. :D
