I'm rooting for the Blue Jays

[malaise]

😀

[Wounded Bear]

1. I hate you...

J/K. Mariners fan here.

[malaise]

3. Hehehehehe

Word is that my rooting for a team or player isn’t necessarily a good thing.
Still, I want Canada to win.😀

[Wounded Bear]

4. Politics have nothing to do with it for me...

[malaise]

5. I can see that

😀

[rzemanfl]

2. They play their spring training games

in the town I live in so I am too.

[BOSSHOG]

6. I'm rooting for

SPRING TRAINING IN PHILLIE

[jmowreader]

7. I disagree

I like the Mariners, and it's time for them to FINALLY win the pennant. If the M's weren't in it...yeah, go Jays and fuck Trump.

[malaise]

9. I'm a cricket, tennis and football (FIFA) fan😂

I want Canada to win for politics😀

[Tribetime]

8. I root for the teams who don't have a huge advantage with

Sky high payrolls while other teams are expected to compete on a fraction of the payroll. Cleveland fan here haven't won since 1948 despite numerous playoff appearances

[malaise]

10. I like GB Packers for their

ownership structure

[Oeditpus Rex]

24. You might think of it this way:

The New York Mets had a gross income of $444 million for 2024 and spent $400 million on 2025 payroll -- 90 percent, the highest in baseball

The Miami Marlins had a gross income of $317 million for 2024 and spent $86 mollion on 2025 payroll -- 27 percent, the lowest in baseball.

It isn't only that some clubs have more to spend than others, but that some spend the least they can on personnel, or simply underpay them so the owners can make more.

11. I don't have a dog in this fight, but Seattle is the only team NEVER to have played in the Series.

Unless you count the Brewers who have been in once, and started in Seattle as the Pilots.

[malaise]

12. This is all politics for me

[Coventina]

13. Rooting for the Mariners because I'm a native. Also, Seattle is solidly BLUE

And, a beautiful city.

[GenThePerservering]

37. I lived in the Matenela Hotel right next to the Holiday Inn for some years

A little old place with 10 rooms. Used to take the monorail to work if I didn't ride my bike.

That was back in the day and it's still there - low income housing now, I think.

I'm a Mariner's fan, but it's OK if the Blue Jays win, because I'm also a big Canada fan. I'd just like to see our team win - it's been a roller coaster.

[Blasphemer]

14. Yankees fan so I hate them both but rooting for Canada! nt

[malaise]

16. Been to your stadium

😀

[Blasphemer]

17. Old or new stadium?

[malaise]

18. Old

😀

[Blasphemer]

34. Awesome! nt

[EnergizedLib]

15. I'm cheering for Seattle

But the Canadian team winning the World Series would be a big middle finger to the felon, I think.

[Volaris]

19. Sure i agree, but i also think it isnt gonna matter..

LA is gonna turn the world series this year into the second Massacre at Cannae, no matter who they play

Don't get me wrong, I'll watch. I love playoff baseball, and I love watching worthy playoff pitchers, do what they do.

[malaise]

21. ROFL because it sure looks so

Oh Canada- trouble😀

[Tree Lady]

20. Rooting for Canada but like Mariners too

Don't care who wins. Hoping they beat dodgers, need new team to win.

But Dodgers with 4-0 and lots of rest time will be hard to beat.

[malaise]

22. Dodgers look

Invincible

[rollin74]

23. Go Dodgers!

most MAGAts hate both Canada and L.A. So they'll be upset either way

[Oeditpus Rex]

36. I went to tap "Rec" but accidentally tapped "Alert."

I didn't select any of the alert categories, though, so maybe it won't go through

[Polybius]

43. Of course it won't go through

Even after selecting a category, you have to click "I believe this post breaks this rule" for it to go through.

[rollin74]

45. no harm done

the post is still there

[Jack Valentino]

25. so is it the Blue Jays against the Dodgers for this World Series ???

Assuming that is the meaning of this post, I sympathize with your sentiment---

but since the star player of the Dodgers, a star pitcher who also hit three home-runs in a playoff game,
is actually a Japanese citizen rather than an American....
should he hire private security to protect him from ICE ???

(Yeah, I presume he is legally justified to be playing baseball in this country---
but since when has 'legally' mattered to the Nazi-Gestapo Trump administration??)


Surely the Canadian baseball fans have ample justification to hope for victory in this year's WS,
but if the Dodger's eventually triumph due to the skills of their Japanese star player.....
I don't think I will be unhappy whichever way the series goes

(if I am blessed enough to actually VIEW any of it!---
Will any broadcast network show it this year??)


((That Dodger's Japanese pitcher and homerun slugger is something else!!!! ))

[rollin74]

28. not only that

but I'd be willing to bet A LOT that the Dodgers have the largest Latino fanbase of any MLB team out there as well

[Oeditpus Rex]

35. Almost certainly

And the white supremacist fans hate it.

Miami may have a larger percentage of Latino fans, since much of its population is Cuban and Cuba is baseball-mad. But then, the Fish have about 22 fans because the owners won't spend their money on0 quality players.

[Oeditpus Rex]

33. No 'triumph' in baseball has ever happened

because of one player, especially over an entire season and playoff series. Everyone on the field, and even in the dugout, contributes something.

This is probably the most important thing for fans to know about the game.

26. As long as the Cubs were eliminated, so am I.

Love the idea of a Canadian team winning the series. It'll piss drumpf off.

[Oeditpus Rex]

27. Raise your hand if you think

the Toronto Blue Jays are made up of Canadian players.

[Wiz Imp]

39. Interestingly, the Mariners had more Canadian born players (2) than the Blue Jays (1)

[Initech]

29. Congrats to the Blue Jays!

[Brother Buzz]

31. I'm waiting for the all caps 3am tweet thingy

[malaise]

44. Yep

😀

[FM123]

32. Me too!

Just got back from Toronto, O what a wonderful place! Hard to come back to the States, especially FL.

[Swede]

38. I'm glad the Jays won.

I hope the Mariners go all the way soon.

[edbermac]

40. It's a lose-lose situation for Trump.

Canadians or Californians will win the Series.

[malaise]

41. Very happy

That is all😀

[Polybius]

42. I hate both teams for what they did to us

Us as in us Yankees.
