Manny Machado will not make me actually want the Saux to win this year, but I sure as hell don't think he deserves it. Also, F Chase Utley. Suppose this make the Sux quite literally the lesser of two evils.
I've never been more conflicted about a World Series and I had really hoped I could just ignore this year's.
@L_D_G As a Giants & BoSox I have no conflict.
@carmahaz many Mets fans will choose Saux over Dodgers in a heartbeat. I grew up in New England where you choose Yankees or Boston even if you like Seattle. I might be one of the few Mets fans that also chose the Yankees. Every time I think I want Boston to take it...I can't...not that I want LA to have it any more...
@L_D_G Yeah as a Giants fan I love to hate the Dodgers. I’ve survived more than a few brawl filled games in the cheap seats when we play the Dodgers. Beyond that my husband grew up in Mass and his earliest happy memories were at Fenway. So they are my team #2.
@carmahaz I don't remember hating the Dodgers much during the Lasorda years.
Then a walking shoulder chip named Justin Turner was picked up from a Mets DFA and Chase Utley went there from the Phillies and broke our 2nd baseman's leg.
Now Machado, a professional athlete, doesn't like to run.
Also...Boston's pinch runner from 2004 is the coach.
