Okay baseball fans, it's that time of the year again - the fall classic is almost here. How are you teams doing, who are you rooting for, what do you want to see in the playoffs?

Here's what I want to see.

AL EAST: Boston

AL WEST: Anaheim (clinched)

AL CENT: Cleveland

Wild Card: NY Yankees

AL EAST: Atlanta (clinched)

AL WEST: San Diego

AL CENT: St. Louis (clinched)

Wild Card: Houston

Of course I want to see NY vs Boston in the ALCS again - it's the best damn rivalry in sports. The weekend series between the two should be intense.

In the NLCS I want to see STL vs Houston.

Ya know. I had a feeling down in my gut that the Orioles would implode half-way through the season. So many people I talked to were planning their winning season. I *tried* to tell them. Sigh. It was fun while it lasted I suppose.

~From a fair-weather Orioles fan

"for no other reason than Boston got more arrogant than NY has been in quite some time."

Eh. I think they are both about equal on *that* level.

BTW, the WS wasn't between The Yanks and The Sox. That was the division championship.

Hey, OFF my Sox dammit. My name clearly states who my team is. That is all. But seriously, I only like two teams in baseball. The Red Sox... and whoever beats the Yankees.

Damn, we win once every 86 years and we're arrogant, but the Yankees fans threw it in my face when Aaron F****** Boone hit that homerun, once again breaking my heart. People just want us to act like loser. Well, we WON. Not only did we win, we came back from 3-0. Can we enjoy making history until we are dethroned please.

And the Yankees aren't arrogant cause they haven't won a ring in like 5 years. Sucks to lose for long periods of time, doesn't it. And nope, you never get use to it.

We still lead the count by 25, so that's most important. Yes, Red Sox fans are arrogant. I cannot believe the bravado of Red Sox fans to try to attack Yankees fans (yes, this happened on campus at my school in NEW YORK). After Game 7, I wished one of them tried that stunt with me so that I can kick their behinds Brooklyn style.

As I said, I'm going to enjoy watching the Yankees boot you guys out of the playoffs.

I'm rooting for my hometown ATLANTA BRAVES!! Congrats to my team for winning their unprecedented (in any sport) 14th division championship in a row!!

To put things in perspective...You know the first year of this 14 year run, George Bush was president and we were at war with Iraq...wait maybe thats not a good example.

These Braves are different, they are young, hungry, and have heart. I expect them to go all of the way.

Wow, it definitely wasn't that way on my campus. There are WAY more Yankee fans here, who were like "so what? Ya'll one once" The SAME fans who said to me the year before "hey, when you win, I won't say anything when you gloat" So guess what, I GLOATED. Congrats on being up by 25. But call me when you get this years.

Both sides have [!@#$%^&*] fans though. Just don't acknowledge them, cause I'm sure we could trade stories. But we'll see about that playoff thing.

Im from the south but hate the braves becuase everyone loves them down here. Considering how young they are and all the injuries this year Bobby Cox deserves manager of the year in the National League IMO.

Who I am pulling for....

I hate the Yankees more than any other team in baseball, so somehow I am rooting for them to miss the playoffs. I know the ratings would suck w/o them in the playoffs, but I want the Red Sox to sweep their ass this weekend at Fenway. I am a Blue Jays fan so I dont like either team, but the Blue Jays have beat the Red Sox 11 times this year and only losing to them 6 times, so I can deal with the BoSox sweeping those damn Yankees this weekend.

I dont really care who wins in the American League as long as its not the Yankeees

As for the National League I am pulling for the Cards or Astros...just dont want the Braves to win it all.

I love it! Yanks started this year as second best and kept it that way I'm glad the race is happening NOW and not when it usually happens in June or July. It all comes down to what matters and WHEN it matters and that is something IMO the Yankees have always forgotten-- once they make it to the playoffs they play like it is a regular game when it is not. Let's see who this turns out but in the mean time GO YANKEES!!

LOL, I think both team fans are arrogant, like you said, and in some sense they all have reason...

    • TBH, I found Felicity's dialogue in those scenes where she encouraged Chad and Cat to admit their feelings for one another more offensive than Xander yelling (although both are bad).  And, I don't get why there is any question of Xander's behavior being offensive, given that he knew that Felicity deserved an apology. I like giving the character more to do, because there is a value in representing a person with a congenital disorder being employed, given that the unemployment rate in that community tops 83%.  I just hope they find a voice for the character that matches her functioning ability. As for Cat, I wonder if she is going to inherit any of Clyde's money?  And that was the reason for the phone call.  I know he's not dead, but he could have named her family as the beneficiary of some insurance policy if he were to be incapacitated.  And the call could have been an attorney trying to reach her to give her money.
    • Oh you may have been watching the Teresa/Tom storyline...or "Terry the tumor" as she was called.
    • Are these new?! Damn, he is in the prime of his life. 
    • He is a 40 year old large grown man "raising his voice" and calling a teenage girl "careless".  That's inappropriate.  I am not going to argue at the octave of his voice although I would consider it yelling.  Felicity was visibly upset.  She also has special needs, but it would be wrong to do that to anyone in general.  Xander was out of line.  He didn't immediately apologize or admit he was wrong until Princess Sarah was okay.  Idk, go find your wife's epipen instead of berating a young girl.  Or, you know, Sarah could have asked if there was any pistachio in her scone as a pre-caution.  That's how most people with allergies that severe order things. I do think this story or plot point is silly, but acting like Xander did nothing wrong is just strange.  Even if Felicity DID do something wrong was he just going to continue to go on and on while his wife was going into shock?  That's the proper reaction lol.
    • I didn't get that so far so I'll have to keep that in mind if I ever pick back up.  I must have chosen bad episodes because what I saw had some really bad Irish accents from supporting/day players. They were hard to get through and I just didn't have the patience to deal with them. I don't think these accents would be allowed to go through today. I assume these accents were ironed out as the show went on--reminded me of Deas's terrible accent on GL that was dropped because it was so bad.

    • It's shoddy journalism. Pretty much says all you need to know about Parade as a source.  
    • It could still be possible.  Ashley could know who her dad is, but her mother stating that her father was a ruthless man so she opted to listen to her mom and kept her distance. It also could be a change in storyline direction since we're now approaching the period of episodes being filmed when the show debuted. The actress playing Ashley posted an IG two weeks ago with her saying she got to work with new characters and old time favorites.  So I do wonder if some new details will emerge between Episode 51 and whatever she was filming at the end of April.
    • He didn't scream. He accused her of being careless in a slightly raised voice. Then he immediately admitted he had overreacted.
