lol, I love how some people, when they have nothing to root for, feel the need to root AGAINST the team that beat them out.
You know though, if you think about it, it makes a hell of a lot more sense to root FOR the team that beat you out. Pissed about the Cubs beating you out of the postseason Astros and Cardinals? Well, think about it - what sounds better? "We got beat out of the postseason by a team that didn't even make it to the World Series" or "We got beat out of the postseason by a team that was good enough to win the World Series?" Personally, I'd rather lose to a team that is decisively better than me this way I can say "well, it's not like we suck, we just lost to a team that's good." Or, instead, you can say "look, this shows that the Cubs suck" when, if you took the time to actually think about what you're saying, that means your team sucks EVEN MORE
I, for one, will be hoping that the Marlins win. I'd rather lose to a team that proves themselves worthy than lose to a team that doesn't go all the way.
