    Who do RZers like? Rangers/Rays?

    Who do RedsZoners prefer win this Texas/Tampa Bay tiedbreak game?

    Not who you think WILL win. Rather, who you'd LIKE to win. If the same, great. If not, great too.

    Me? I'm pulling for the Rays. Don't care much about either of these teams but something about the Rangers irks me even though they are one of the more sympathetic "can't win the big one" teams out there.

    Really respect Maddon as a skipper and how the team gets a lot out of a smaller payroll in a thankless city in which to play.

    You?

    I have a number of friends in the DFW area who used to live in WV and root for the Rangers and Reds. Also, I'd rather see a team with a fan base win.

    I don't want a team with a player fresh off of PED suspension to advance. (I'm looking at you, too, Tigers.)

    I too am in the "something I just do not like about the Rangers" camp. With or without Nelson Cruz I do not care for them, but Cruz playing gives me more reason. The Giants proved they could do it last year w/out Melky and I respected their decision. The Rangers made the decision to play Cruz. Oh well... I would have rooted for the Rays anyhow lol.

    Re: Who do RZers like? Rangers/Rays?

    I have loads more respect for the Rays, if I didn't have another agenda, I'd definitely be rooting for them, but I want nothing to do with the Red Sox having to play them, so I have to hold my nose and root for the Rangers. Oh, and I love Adrian Beltre.

    Have to ask...and NO agenda or holstered judgment here...are you a Sox fan too or am I misunderstanding what you've written?

    Re: Who do RZers like? Rangers/Rays?

    And, Longoria GONE to RF. Rays 3-0. Clearly this poll...ir its early results anyway...have been a sort of turbo-charge for Maddon and the crew.

    ON a related note, wonder how Johnny is spending his night in whatever Pittsburgh hotel right now? Probably watching this game, doncha think?

    Johnny, see David Price? That. Do THAT tomorrow and we'll be good.

    Jay/Joey/Todd/Shin, see that Longoria kid and what he just did? That. Do some of that tomorrow night and all will be well.

    Yes, the Reds are my 2nd/NL team, and that only happened because of this board.

    Rays.

    Well really, not-Texas, just because I hate Matt Garza.
