The Fall Classic: What World Series do you want to see?

[bankshot1]

Reading the NLCS game thread I was surprised to see as much Dodger love as I did. Or maybe it was just Maddon hate.

In any case what is the match-up you want?

Me I'm rooting for the heartbreak series Tribe-Cubs.

Someone is going to have blueballs for another year.

I think I'm rooting for Tito and the Tribe.

But I'm torn with the Cubs and Lester, Lackey, Ross and Theo.

But I digress, what say you SOSH?

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Blue Jays/Dodgers not an option?

 

[bankshot1]

Not in my household.

But its a poll choice.

I want Blue Jays v Dodgers because I don't feel like listening to people gush over Maddon for the next 100 years if the Cubs win, but all I really want is the Blue Jays because I'm a big Donaldson fan, though the way they're playing isn't filling me with optimism. I would be fine with Cleveland though, because I love Tito and Nap. Plus Lindor and Kluber seem like really good guys. Honestly I'm just #NeverMaddon. 50% of Cubs fans are really just a basket of deplorables.

 

[75cent bleacher seat]

Not going to let my view of Maddon override my desire to see the Cubs finally win it.

 

[Brianish]

Cubs/Indians guarantees a team will win it that hasn't in at least 68 years. Only the Maddon/Chapman factor made me even pause to think.

My wife is from San Diego originally, so there's some serious Dodgers hate in my family. Yankees of the NL and all that.

Cubs v. Indians would be great, given two long-suffering fanbases.

As long as the Blue Jays aren't in, I'm happy.

 

[billy ashley]

I like and respect a lot of the folks on Cleveland, but I can't get over their racist hats.

Cubs and Jays all the way

 

[dbn]

I still love Napoli, but my ex lives in Cleveland and they have a racist logo. Cubs v Canada.

 

[joyofsox]

Living outside Toronto, it might be (?) fun to see the city enjoy playing in a WS, plus I cannot root for Wahoo even if my favorite manager of all time is in charge of the team. And the Cubs winning would be such a great *baseball* story, it eclipses any annoyance I might have over the media's Maddon gushing. Cubs over Jays.

 

[Papo The Snow Tiger]

I'm firmly in the #NeverMaddon camp. Go Dodgers. The Indians have racist caps, it appears the Indians bandwagon is getting crowded, http://www.letsgotribe.com/2016/9/10/12872556/cleveland-indians-2016-playoff-guide, and screw LeBron James. Go Jays.

 

[MakeMineMoxie]

Gotta go with Cubs/Tribe. Too many good story lines.

 

[timlinin8th]

My Tito/Napoli love and the fact that I can't ever root for a division rival means I want the Indians in it (and the Jays have won it in my lifetime).

There's a lot of Sox connections on the NL side of the card but Dave Roberts uber alles. Can't root for Maddon.

Indians v Dodgers.

 

[YTF]

Tito, Napoli, Miller and Coco Vs. Theo, Lester, Lackey and Grandpa Rossie.

 

[Ale Xander]

Indians v. Dodgers
Francona and Napoli v. Roberts and Agon

F the Blue Jays
F the Cubs

for different reasons.

 

[Papelbon's Poutine]

Tito, Napoli, Miller and Coco Vs. Theo, Lester, Lackey and Grandpa Rossie.

Yup.

 

[ilol@u]

Anyone but the Cubs.

Throughout my life, there were a few guarentees: death, taxes, and the Cubs not winning the world series. There's a sick satisfaction in watching their misery. Once they win, there are no more future storylines left and it dulls the game; It's like LeBron and Peyton winning their first championship. I'm not sure I want them to win it quite yet.

Toronto vs Dodgers

 

[Flunky]

The Cubs even sniffing a World Series defies well established and important baseball law. You guys are playing with fire here...

 

[MakMan44]

Dodgers/Indians

I don't want the Jays to win. I'd be happy with a Cubs/Indians WS too

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Love Robers and AGon, really enjoying the Kershaw playoff redemption story.
Love Tito, Nap, Miller, and Coco.
Screw Maddon.
F the Jays.

 

[lexrageorge]

I'm all in for Theo vs. Tito. Boston's best GM faces off against Boston's best manager.

 

[trekfan55]

I'm not in on the hate Maddon bandwagon. As a matter of fact, there are many here who would have liked him as the Red Sox manager.

I do hate the Rays, but they are not relevant right now.

I am rooting for a Cubs-Indians WS.

+1

Cleveland vs Chicago would have been a lot more fun if not for Lebron (or maybe it's more appropriate to blame the Warriors)
Now the Cleveland fans are D-bags, and like many in the thread I'm a jerk and find the better Cubs story them coming up short yet again, so I'm not who to root for at this point.
