Lesser of Two Evils

Festa · August 22nd, 2008, 09:28 AM

With the Marlins unlikely to win the division title. Which of the two evils would you rather see the division?

I hate the Phillies. But my hate for the Mets has surpassed the Phils in recent years.

er.... I voted for Mets, but meant Phillies

dgriot · August 22nd, 2008, 11:02 AM

Definitely Phillies as the lesser of two evils for me.

I'm sure that's fueled by the fact that me going from casual fan to dedicated fan was helped in part by living in Philly for a few years.

Nationals.

Never really hated the Phillies, always hated the Mets.

Chewie · August 22nd, 2008, 04:11 PM

I'd rather have the Mets make it. I hate them more than the Phillies, but I just can't stomach the thought of the Phillies in the playoffs.

Ice Man · August 22nd, 2008, 04:13 PM

I honestly dislike everything about the Mets; aside from a few players: Luis Castillo, Damion Easley, Carlos Delgado and David Wright. But I hate their uniforms, names, fans, Mascot, Their Stadium(although Citi Field looks great) owners, GM and Pedro Martinez.

The Philles, Their Fans are obnoxious, but loyal. But the difference is, if it were the Phils to advance to the WS, I'd root for them.

But I absolutely HATE the Braves. Everything about them. God damn them straight to fucking hell.

I actually associate w 3 phillies and a met so to make my personal life bearable in october i would rather the Mets make it

nolesmarlins · August 27th, 2008, 11:14 AM

my family is from new york and the ones still there are mets fans... and i was 10 when the marlins came around so when i was a little kid i was raised to like the mets. i made it to shea for a game for the first time in april, but i wore my marlins hat with pride.

dont get me wrong, id rather pee on an electric fence than pull for the mets. but i have far more respect for the mets franchise than i do for the phillies. philly is a poor man's new york. and, even though we're in the same division, the marlins and mets really havent been contenders at the same time until now, whereas starting in 03 it seems that we have been fighting with philly for the wild card almost every year.

i hate the braves the most.

FishFanInPA · August 27th, 2008, 10:01 PM

fuck em both....and the Cubs....this could be a dreadful playoffs....Go Brewers or D-Backs.

Ice Man · August 28th, 2008, 01:06 AM

I like the Cubs. Whatever.

But if we sweep the Mets, the thread will be sooo dead.

Hugg · August 28th, 2008, 01:16 AM

I honestly couldn't care less which one of them wins the division. If it isn't us, it doesn't matter.

This. Although, I'm one of the few foolishly optomistic people who hasn't given up hope yet that the Marlins are done,

Nny · August 28th, 2008, 09:49 AM

well, I'm rooting for the Mets right now because I think the Phillies are the better team, ergo, Mets winning gives us better chances.

but outside of that shruggggg

Yay, a win! · September 19th, 2008, 10:29 PM
