MLB playoffs and World Series; who's your team?
My team is also where my grandfather work (Dodger Stadium) for twenty-fivers until he retired:
The Los Angeles Dodgers.
I predict a Dodgers VS Angels World Series with the Dodgers winning, of course!

Hard for me to get into it this post-season. I'm a die-hard Met fan and the wind when out of my sails last weekend. If pushed for an opinion, I would like to see a Dodgers-Red Sox World Series with the Dodgers winning, just to spite Hank and George Steinbrenner.

Like always, I'm going to root for the Braves.... What? Oh, ok then, as long as it's not the Yankees.... What? No kidding? Well then, I suppose it doesn't matter! 
Actually, I'm going to root for the underdogs this year. I'm hoping for a Milwaukee v. Tampa Bay World Series!

I think it's because most of the people who live here in the area are transplants from other parts of the country and they move here still clinging to their old hometown teams and old habits die hard.
The Bucs used to have the same problem for years until Tony Dungy turned that organization around. I hope the same thing is happening to the Rays under their current management because somebody's gonna have to pay for this new stadium they want:

I'd like to see Cubs/Rays, preferably with the Red Sox losing in the first round in straight games by scores of 10-0 each.

Go Red Sox!!! | Never fear Bob, at least I hate the Yankees more than the Red Sox. And then there is the... Yankees. Oh there's got to be at least one more team - yeah, the Yankees!
Oh my, I miss the shouts of 1918! |

If the Angles don't make it past the Sox, I will root for the Rays because of Joe Madden (former Angel bench coach)
