I honestly can't decide...

Edited by MattZakrowski

I'd pick the Giants because of their drought, but I really like Cincinnati also.

 

 

Giants or Rangers

Rays, because they are AL, because they aren't the Yankees or Twins, and because they haven't won anything yet. I'm ok with the Rangers too.

A Rangers/Giants World Series would be great.

Phillies, I admire how that franchise has been run for the past few years. They make some questionable moves (extension to Howard and Moyer make me scratch my head) but I love how they trade for and develop talent.

I really don't care. I just want to see good playoff baseball. A 7 game series at some point would be nice too.

This. I'm going to be glued to the tube for the Reds/Phillies.

I'll quit watching baseball if he doesn't win the ROY.

Reds, as they play with the most enthusiasm of any team in baseball. Votto is an absolute stud with a terrific recovery from personal issues. Gomes is a great clubhouse leader, and it will be exciting to hopefully see Aroldis get to face Utley and Howard.

Giants and Rangers. Rangers have never won anything. Giants haven't won a championship since moving SF. Or Cincy. I'm getting tired of Philly.

They're the most enjoyable team in baseball to watch, IMO. Bruce has gone 2003 Barry Bonds the last month.

I'm not going to be running out and buying a new cap or anything, but I'll be supporting the four teams not in the eastern divisions.

 

Twins-Rangers

Reds-Giants

 

If I had to pick, I'd say the Giants will beat the Braves, but the other three will lose.

As usual...whoever is playing the Yankees

Whoever is playing the Twins, and then whoever is playing the Yankees. I'll root for the Yanks in the first series though.

In order:

 

Reds-Giants-Braves-Rangers-Rays-Phillies-Yankees-Twins.

Rangers or Reds

 

My order:

 

Rangers-Reds-Giants-Yankees-Phillies-Rays-Braves-Twins

Rangers, cause I live in TX. I have some friends who are die-hard Rangers fans who haven't gotten to enjoy this for awhile. Also I genuinely like many of the Rangers players

Don't really care but if I had to choose I guess I'd say the Reds.

Twins, Reds, Rays, Giants, Rangers, Atlanta, Phillies, Yankees.

Since the Rockies didn't make it, I don't really care either. But if you had to put a gun to my head, I'd pick the Giants cause of the drought and the Braves cause I wanna see Bobby Cox go out in style. What a terrific managerial career he's had.

I think that series might be the worst one. I like the Reds and all their young players, but Roy^2 & Hamels will shut them down I think. The Reds won their division by beating the s*** teams and have a losing record against every good team in the NL. They have a promising future, but I don't think they stand a chance vs. Philly.

The Phillies should be the prohibitive favorite. But the Reds can f***ing hit (Bruce is scorching hot). If their starters can at least keep them in the games, they could surprise.
