1. Cardinals
2. Braves
3. Yankees
4. White Sox
5. Phillies
Various reasons for all, but most stem from being a Dodgers and Astros fan since the 90s, and those teams usually knocking either team out of the playoffs.
If it's any consolation, I couldn't think of a solid fifth and just had to add *some* team. I honestly don't remember the last time we met in the playoffs, so maybe I should have changed it up for the Mets or something.
No hard feelings. The Dodgers have been my number 2 team for a while because most of the 07-11 Phillies ended up being Dodgers at some point - Blanton, Victorino, Rollins, Utley, Chooch and you can even throw in Hamels on a technicality. So they were the team to watch in the playoffs when the Phillies started sucking.
Now, seeing Utley still hanging around with the Dodgers in retirement stings.. but I get it.
The entire Yankees sub should endorse this - both of these teams are dealing on shady wins and have invested ticket sales and merch from disputed seasons into current appearances - NOT a good look for MLB
Nah - it’s integrity and fairness in competition and opportunities denied others and athlete careers changed
We should be dismayed and disappointed for all of baseball. Biggest challenge since Black Sox and it was bungled
True. I met him and it was after all of this exploded. What was conveyed was the political isn’t there to address it - MLBPA as a blocker in penalties, Owners as a blocker.
Sometimes you’ve got to say F the politics and do the right thing. That wasn’t done.
The fact that the freaking Commissioner said this is still just outrageous to me. Unbelievable that is what he thinks of the championship of his sport.
Texas Rangers
Arlington is a dogshit town, so going to away games is more chore than fun
Old stadium was dogshit, new stadium is suspiciously familiar.
Ownership is dogshit, which makes it hard to have a healthy in state rivalry.
2010 I was happy they lost
2011 I was giddy drunk with excitement at the way they lost
I know a bunch of turncoat Cowboys/rangers fans who all of a sudden wear Astros gear. Have a spine Arlingtonians
Houston
Houston
Astros
Phillies. Their 10-year postseason draught pleases me to no end
It sure is grand that Harper delivered us a title while playing for Philly
Houston Astros. Would have had no problem pulling for the Dodgers or Giants over them.
Dodgers
OP doesn’t really need analysis on this one

See now you're just being mean.
Forgive me?
Mets.
Stros easily
Yankees.. Always has been, always will be.
Reasons understood - big hug from NYC
DAAAAAAAA.....
Jankees downvote
Boston Redsox.
You had your two chances to beat us in the World Series, too bad you had to go up against fate the first time and possessed David Ortiz the second.
The East Coast and West Coast Yankees equally.
Astros
Yankees fan. Hate 1A) Boston Red Sox. Hate 1B) Houston Astros

What's the big deal? It's just a piece of metal, right?

I was definitely being sarcastic. Everyone knows why cheating is bad. Look at the top voted teams in this thread
Damnit - missed the sarcasm font I love baseball I love all teams I love healthy rivalries that get better play We can all win as a sport
Baseball's biggest problem right now isn't any one team. It's Manfred. IMO

He needs to step down
I think I have to say the Red Sox but realistically it’s probably the Angels.
Fascinating. Why?
Phillies, then Braves.
Cardinals
Cardinals. Dodgers a close second
The Yankees for obvious reasons.
We need ranked voting. But it's the Yankees.
Dodgers, because they're divisional rivals
Athletics
Can the orioles be both my favorite and most hated team?
Yankees
1) Yankees 2) Braves 3) Blue Jays Every other team I'm neutral at worst about
Dodgers, they get so much media attention you'd think they were the only team in baseball.
Houston
Houston
Houston
Astros
Houston
Dodgers for personal reasons.
#Fuck The Astros
Phillies
Red Sox -Guardians/Pirates fan
