Rays @ Dodgers tomorrow at 8:09

Who you rooting for this series?

I'm on the Dodgers wagon...
Rays

gotta go with the underdog.
Rays,  
section125 : 10/19/2020 11:38 am : link
wouldn't root for the Dodgers ever.
Go Dodgers

Piss on Tampa, today tomorrow and always.
Tampa.

I detest the Dodgers, their fans especially.
Rays  
DC Gmen Fan : 10/19/2020 11:57 am : link
Maybe it will get people in Florida more excited about their team and a new ballpark.


LOL
All Dodgers, all the time.  
Mad Mike : 10/19/2020 12:00 pm : link
Rays - f those guys.
Dodgers I guess

...It'd be nice to see Kershaw get a ring.
Dodgers.  
Matt M. : 10/19/2020 12:17 pm : link
ALCS was really root for nobody for me, knowing I will root against either in the World Series.

I saw an article yesterday trying to talk up the Astros claiming that nobody on their current roster was implicated in the cheating scandal. I didn't read further, but it really burns me. How do you write that? Just because they weren't punished or even publicly addressed by MLB doesn't mean that is true. No active players, whether still on the Astros or moved on, has been punished, but plenty were impolicated. And their 2 biggest stars in Altuve and Correa were always at the core of the scandal.
Don't care either way  
UConn4523 : 10/19/2020 12:23 pm : link
but it has been funny to see the Dodgers not get over the hump. Go Rays.

Would have been Braves, but....
Dodgers, obviously.

Rays are completely unlikable.

Agree 100%. Living in SoCal, Dodgers fans are among the very top in the know nothing, band wagon fans.

F the Dodgers!

Screw 'em both

Asterisk anyways
Dunno how a Yankees fan can root for the Rays.....  
Jim in Hoboken : 10/19/2020 1:11 pm : link
One of their non-drafted players just made Chapman his b!tch a week ago.

Only solace is that, if the Rays win, Hal may read Cashman the riot act, though I doubt it.

You can’t help but be impressed with what they’ve done, but sure as hell don’t have to like them.

There you go, actually I was pulling for Freddie Freeman
to win a ring...one of the real good guys in baseball!
Rays, parent club of the Bulls here in Durham.

Very rare that I would root against an AL team
Still can't believe there are Yankees fans rooting for Tampa  
Greg from LI : 10/19/2020 1:51 pm : link
That's goddamned surreal
I absolutely despise the Rays  
bigbluehoya : 10/19/2020 1:54 pm : link
Go Dodgers. I'd say I'm rooting for a sweep, but I'd like for them to beat them even worse than that.

Love to see Kershaw get a ring, and now that Mookie is no longer a BoSox, he's one of my favorite players in the league.

It is actually surreal that somebody would root for the Dodgers, IMV.

I don't like the Rays, I just hate the Dodgers. Basically they are less annoying than what is left.
I definitely don't like the Rays  
UConn4523 : 10/19/2020 2:07 pm : link
but fuck the Dodgers too. Rather root for the team spending much less.
I usually  
Producer : 10/19/2020 2:08 pm : link
go with the dog in such matchups. Rays are a good dog. But even though, as a Yanks fan, I usually despise the Dodgers, I wouldn't mind seeing Kershaw win one. I don't have a horse in this one.
Thankful that the Astros are not in the Series

Pretty cool to see the two best teams in baseball  
Metnut : 10/19/2020 2:39 pm : link
in the world series. Probably the two smartest organizations in baseball too. It rarely works out that way and surprising to see it happen in a year with 16 playoff teams.

I'm too young to really remember the 88 NLCS, so I'd like to see the Dodgers get over the hump and finally win it this year.
The Rays winning the world series

somehow fits in with all the other "end of days" stuff thats happened in 2020.

agreed. At least it won’t happen in that doom and gloom orange juice stadium
Rays

Brother-in-law’s brother works for the Rays. He’s been with them since the team was founded. I’m a Cincinnati Reds fan so I have a strong dislike of the Dodgers since they were our NL West rivals back in the day. I do believe that the Dodgers will win the series, however.
Don't care  
pjcas18 : 10/19/2020 3:02 pm : link
but I would like to see Mookie Betts do really well to make Red Sox fans feel worse.

I don't agree, but there are some people who will root strictly for the team representing the league of their favorite team. As a Yankee fan, more often than not, I felt the opposite because the AL team was a rival. As a kid, I couldn't root for the hated Royals, for example. In 1986, I rooted for neither team. It was the first time as a real fan that I skipped a WS game. Was it Game 6 on Monday night? I watched the Giants and Skins instead.
Dodgers  
bitterblue : 10/19/2020 5:02 pm : link
When I became a Yankees fan, the Dodgers were still in Brooklyn so I like their history. And I had friends back then that were Dodgers fans so I am cheering for them. I don't know any Rays fans.
Rays

Tough one  
5BowlsSoon : 10/19/2020 10:38 pm : link
I think many of us were ready to root for the Braves.

I hate Astros so I’m glad they are out, but don’t really have any warm and fuzzy feelings for Tampa either. I agree with many here, it would be nice to see Kershaw exorcize his WS demons....he’s a nice guy, but it is tough to root for a team that spends so much money to buy a WS. I usually go for underdogs when I don’t have a dog in the race.

After saying all that, I still don’t know who to root for besides Kershaw. I’m not a Bellinger fan.....he usually chokes too in the big dance.
I despise Tampa  
NYerInMA : 10/19/2020 11:15 pm : link
So I'll be rooting for the Dodgers.

Altuve was wearing a buzzer! If he wasn't cheating, I'm fucking Heidi Klum.

because I live here. Don't really care for them but definitely don't like the Rays being a Yankee fan.
