October 3, 201015 yr I'd pick the Giants because of their drought, but I really like Cincinnati also.
October 3, 201015 yr 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.
October 3, 201015 yr 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.
October 3, 201015 yr I really don't care. I just want to see good playoff baseball. A 7 game series at some point would be nice too.

I'm going to be glued to the tube for the Reds/Phillies.
October 3, 201015 yr QUOTE (chimpy2121 @ Oct 3, 2010 -> 06:43 PM) Buster Posey I'll quit watching baseball if he doesn't win the ROY.
October 3, 201015 yr 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.
October 4, 201015 yr 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. Edited October 4, 201015 yr by robinventura23

They're the most enjoyable team in baseball to watch, IMO. Bruce has gone 2003 Barry Bonds the last month.
October 4, 201015 yr 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.
October 4, 201015 yr Whoever is playing the Twins, and then whoever is playing the Yankees. I'll root for the Yanks in the first series though.
October 4, 201015 yr Rangers or Reds My order: Rangers-Reds-Giants-Yankees-Phillies-Rays-Braves-Twins Edited October 4, 201015 yr by WilliamTell
October 4, 201015 yr 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
October 4, 201015 yr 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.
October 4, 201015 yr QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Oct 3, 2010 -> 06:33 PM) This. I'm going to be glued to the tube for the Reds/Phillies. 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.
