Im rooting for the yankees. I rathe rhave the yanks brag about the 27th ring than the phillies bragging about winning the WS twice in a row and the mets being a loser. I would never root for Philly and I hate the Yankees and would never ever root for a money team bought, but there just no way in hell I can root for Philadelphia.. But to be honest if it was Braves VS yankees, I would be rooting for the braves all the way. True and not true. Im rooting for the yankees.

However, before I would root for the Yankees against the Phillies three things would have to occur.... losing my mind and HELL FREEZING OVER TWICE... I am rooting for the Angels to ruin the Yankee fans post season dreams and the offseason. But should the Yankees beat the Angels it wouldn't matter who whipped the team from the Bronx.

I say that cuz I'm probably one of the only fans in this city that like both NY teams. I wanna see the Phills come to the Boogie-down and get the NY beating that they and their stupid belligerent trashy fans deserve. I just wish the Mets were giving it to them. Yea, everyone says the Yankees are the devil's spawn, andtheir fans are obnoxious, but you what, they got some serious talent, and that's what I respect about them. They took their millions and got really talented players and now they're on the heels of a possible World Series run for the first time in years. So yep, if its a Freeway series, great! But if the Yankees and the freakin Phills meet up this year for the World Series, I wanna see the Philles get destroyed. Deal with the trash talk....Mets fans are gonna hear it regardless.

I went to the Philly/Met game in August when they did the tribute to the 69 team, the place, unfortunately, had far too many Filthy fans there. On the way in one asked me, if the WS was between the Phils/Yanks who would I root for, "I said, a quick winter and Spring Training" . I actually thought for a min, that I'd have to go with Philly because I never go for the AL team. I changed my mind quick when those scumbags were SO classless, they were chanting Lets Go Phillies DURING the ceremony. I yelled down to one and asked "Are you that classless that you can't wait for the ceremony to be over?" you can imagine his illiterate response. They are punks, both sets of fans and do not know how to win in style.......... As far as I'm concerned, its football season.........April can't get here soon enough...........I'm still waiting for next year! Lets hope its a NON issue and its an all California series with the Angels and Dodgers.

If they get past the Dodgers, Happ could be a big weapon against the AL who havent seen him yet. I think their bullpen is definitely their Achilles heel. When their starters go seven or more innings, the Phillies have a .750 winning percentage. Ultimately, I hope the Halos go all the way. I'd hate to see Torre lauded for an entire year if he wins another one, even if it means not throwing it in the Yankees face. I hope you’re right.
