Which contender are you rooting for?

[FireThemAll]

Now that it's clear the Angels have no shot at playoffs, I am going to root for the Arizona Diamondbacks. I like a lot of players on that team, and hope they can keep the Dodgers out of the playoffs. 

 

Which team will you root for down the stretch.

[nate]

Tampa Bay, Atlanta, Cleveland and Arizona

[The God of Runs]

Pirates will pull a 2002 Angels

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

Pitt, Atlanta, Tampa Bay, O's, Arizona (I don't think Arizona will make the playoffs).

[stevestevens]

Now that the angels are out of it I have turned my attention to the Wnba.

#wnba, #lasparks, #parker4mvp, #thesegirlsaregood

[bucbrett]

Pirates, O's, Rays

[Docwaukee]

pittsburgh and tampa

[austin724]

I am rooting for anyone not named Rangers and Dodgers.

[xboom28x]

Definitely the Pirates.

[Angel Oracle]

Pirates (long below .500 drought), D-Backs (anyone but Raviners), Rays (Maddon and Price) and Royals (except for 2003, similar drought to Pirates)

 

Speaking of the guy (Price) the Halos could be pursuing as a FA after 2014:

Since July 2 after return from the DL: 

6 starts, 48.1 innings (8 innings per start), 0.70 WHIP, 1.70 ERA, 35/1 Ks/BBs ratio, and only 90 pitches/start 

The HR count is 6, kind of high for 48 innings, except that he has only allowed a Blyleven-esque 1 HR with runners on base in that time. 

And yes he would fine to be the only high priced FA to sign for the next 4-5 seasons.

He will still be only 29 when the 2015 season starts, similar age to what CC was when his Skanks contract started in 2009.    He will only have 1150-1200 MLB innings under his belt by then, and will never have yet exceeded 224 innings by the close of this season.

For comparison sake, Weaver had about 1130 MLB innings under his belt when his 5 year deal started in 2012.

Tigers Dodgers WS, Tigers win in 5 so all the Dodgers fans spend all that money on 3 WS games only to watch their team lose.

[katie]

Anyone who plays against the Red Sox, Yankees, or Dodgers the rest of the year. And Rangers

[Waybackman]

A's and Pirates

[Tank]

Red Sox, Yankees, and Rangers.

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

Red Sox, Yankees, and Rangers.

Lol. Jerk.

[katie]

That's what I should probably do too, tank. I have terrible luck when rooting for teams

Clearly

[notherhalo]

BoSox and Rangers (seriously), although a NYY win over LAD in the WS would be cool for old times sake

 

or a reunion for OAK vs LAD, so as long as OAK upsets, too many bandwagon fans here in LA

[ettin]

I'd like to see the A's, Cardinals, or Rays win it.

 

Also I wouldn't mind seeing Torii Hunter (specifically) pick up a ring.

[Mark68]

The Not-Dodgers.

 

In this order:

 

1) Pirates

2) Red Sox (wife requires it...happy wife, happy life and all that)

3) Whatever contending team is playing the Dodgers

[Jason]

Really hard to not like the Pirates and Rays. I lived in Virginia in the late 70s and my dad took me to Oriole games so I like them too.

[VariousCrap]

I'd like to see the Rays, Indians or Pirates win it all.

 

Rays being choice #1.

[Troll Daddy]

Dodgers vs A's WS

 

Let's keep it on the west coast ... most of you cry east coast bias then root for them in the playoffs

[EDinTUSTIN]

Now that it's clear the Angels have no shot at playoffs, I am going to root for the Arizona Diamondbacks. I like a lot of players on that team, and hope they can keep the Dodgers out of the playoffs. 

 

Which team will you root for down the stretch.

None of them, if the Angels are not in postseason I will be watching football and basketball. I only I don't root for other teams in baseball, particularly in the AL. My favorite baseball team in the NL, if I have to have one, and I really don't follow them very closely are the Padres, and they are no closer than the Angels to making postseason.

[Ohtaniland]

[2002_halos_II]

AL Tigers/Rays

NL D'backs/Pirates
