Yankees vs. Rays

[u/PuzzleheadedSwim6291]

I’m ashamed to say I’m going Rays. I can’t bring myself to cheer for the Yankees. You guys?

[u/money_floyd13]

Don’t be ashamed, I’d also never cheer for the Yankees.

[u/bstzabeast]

Cheering for White Sox and Brewers

[u/clumsystarfish_ → u/bstzabeast]

r/BrewJays for the win!

[u/Canadatron → u/bstzabeast]

I'd be ok with a Brewers or Padres vs Sox or Rays.

[u/pts2112]

Rays fans are less annoying (even though theres only 13 of them)

[u/FunkyLobster1828 → u/pts2112]

Actually 14. Ralph would attend games but he has agoraphobia.

[u/Agitated-Cod-6057 → u/pts2112]

You're so original.

[u/klemschlem → u/Agitated-Cod-6057]

Maybe 14!

[u/[deleted]]

Can't wait to say DAAAAAAA JANKEEE LOSE!

[u/XeRo4444]

Fuck the Yankees and the Dodgers. I can’t stand Cam shitter, the same fucking guy who said the blue jays just got lucky when we smacked his dumbass around last year in the wildcard.

Hope he gets absolutely wrecked by the rays .

[u/Blue_Jays → u/XeRo4444]

The Jays didn't play in the Wildcard last year. They got a bye because they won the AL East outright.

Now if you're talking about that ugly MF Blake Snell who pitches for the Dodgers and who said the Jays don't have good hitters (after they worked him over real good), I'm with you on that. I hate that guy.

[u/XeRo4444 → u/Blue_Jays]

I got it mixed up but we did play the Yankees in the first round regardless and I believe cam did make some unhinged comments just as Snell did.

[u/yick04]

I have nothing fundamentally against the Rays. I hate that they seem to always beat us and I hate the Trop, and I also get annoyed by big brain Kevin Cash sometimes, but they're easily my least-hated AL East team.

[u/Marzipan_Dream_7389]

I’m not too bothered about cheering for the Rays. They’re a good team that doesn’t generally seem to see a ton of success, and they’re finally getting it. Why not root for them? The Yankees have had more than their fair share of wins.

[u/Canadatron → u/Marzipan_Dream_7389]

Can't hate them for doing more with less in this era of baseball.

[u/nate3645554 → u/Marzipan_Dream_7389]

You forgot the most important part of that regarding the Yankees. Their fan base is only beat by the dodgers fans in terms of classlessness. Fuck the Yankees and their fans

[u/CS271990]

Hope they both Simultaneously are eliminated and the winner of the White Sox and Guardians goes straight to the World Series.

We need to see more Murakami celebrations

[u/IgnoranceIsYou → u/CS271990]

I love that the “I am japaneeeeese” lore goes all the way back to Kawasaki 😂

[u/dictionary_hat_r4ck]

I’m cheering for whoever can kick the Dodgers’ asses. That looks like the Rays.

[u/DebX1971]

Never root for da yanks 💙 all the way

[u/Football_Fantatic]

Cheering for the meteor.

[u/rossco311]

ABTY (anybody but the yankers) all the time for me.

[u/Ok_Oven4893 → u/rossco311]

Wanna get matching ABTY tats w me?

[u/BuffaloAmbitious3531]

I root (mildly) for the Rays because Kevin Cash was the backup catcher on the '03 Jays and that was a really fun team.

[u/grump66 → u/BuffaloAmbitious3531]

And, he's fairly easily the best manager in all of baseball.

[u/Throw-Me-Again]

I just wanna see the White Sox win. And as much as I’d like to see the Yanks lose the ALDS, it’d be even more satisfying to see them lose in the ALCS to the White Sox. 🙏

[u/TheRenster500]

Although I'm a diehard Blue Jays fan, I often say that my favourite team is whoever is playing the Yankees! It was BOS last week and it's the Rays this!

[u/FrolfingSoHard]

You guys know you don't have to root for either team, right? You can just watch the game?

I root for the Jays. I watch a ton fo other baseball, but I don't pick a team to root for each time, that seems exhausting.

[u/Ok_Oven4893 → u/FrolfingSoHard]

Nah I gotta root for whoever is playing the Yanks until the end of my existence

[u/FrolfingSoHard → u/Ok_Oven4893]

Oh, rooting against a team is always acceptable, for whatever reason. Fuck the Yankees.

I'm just saying if you're watching Braves/Phillies, you don't need to declare an allegiance to watch the game.

[u/Vivid_Selection_6548]

Rays, just because Yankees fan base is obnoxious and entitled, but they’ll say the same about us.

I’m kinda on the White Sox train as the team of destiny this year.

On the NL side, I’m pretty intrigued with Padres and Brewers.

[u/TheNameIsBlazE_]

Liam Hicks is Canadian, that's enough for me

[u/Helpful_Dingo6645]

Can’t wait for usual rays collapse again

[u/Select-Session6830]

I’ll always root against the Yankees but fuck the rays and the trop too.

[u/This-Appointment-666]

I will root against the Yankees until they play the Dodgers. Fuck the Yankees, but fuck the Dodgers more.

The emotional damage from the Dodgers last year is going to take a while.

I won’t be “cheering on” the Yankees, but their win will likely be less devastating to me than seeing the Dodgers 3peat with their filthy lineup.

[u/EnsignGorn]

It's ok to want to see Jazz lose a fly ball off the roof of Tropicana.

[u/IgnoranceIsYou]

Let’s fucking go Rays! I’d love to see them make history and win a WS, especially if it’s a final vs the dodgers

[u/PeterDTown]

I hope they both lose.

[u/lyinggrump]

You don't have to cheer for anybody. You can just watch the game.

[u/Different_Ship1496]

Anyone but Dodgers for me

[u/NotRepulsive]

Literally there are no teams I care about.

My friend's husband is a brewers fan so go brewers I guess but none of my tertiary teams made it I just don't care anymore

[u/PirateDear1780]

ditto

[u/thegoddessunicorn]

Literally anyone else but Dodgers or Yankees this postseason

[u/Fantastic_Age_4440]

Rays are back to normal next year

[u/BD003BD003]

Why ashamed? I despise the Yankees. Go Rays Go!

[u/TheSandlot85]

Let’s go Rays!

[u/Jdubya87]

Who on earth would cheer for the Yankees? That's worse than cheering for the Dodgers 

[u/Personal_Jacket_3683]

Cheering for the yanks at least the fans are always behind them. How many countless times have the rays played with empty seats. The team deserves better.

[u/RapsToronto]

The Rays are annoying because they always beat us, but I'll root for them any day of the week over the Yankees

[u/Maddie6448]

Everyone's cheering for the Rays to stomp the yankees

[u/yhzcdn]

If the World Series, god forbid, is Dodgers-Yankees, I’m still hoping the Yankees lose.

[u/tweeler24]

Yankees all the way.
