Who Ya Rootin' For? Baseball.

Finding someone to root for in the LCS round is difficult.

Giants? Nope. Cardinals? Heck no. Tigers? Neh. Yanks? Well . . . no.

But to be honest, I'm kind of warming a little to the Yanks. As sacreligious as that sounds, I have been a little impressed by them this year. Girardi gained a lot of cred, with me (I'm sure he's concerned about that) by pinch-hitting and then benching A-Rod this past week. Wash could learn a lot from that. And I've been able to listen on in some Yanks games this year, via MLB Nework. Their broadcasters are great. Pretty unbiased and seem like all-around great people. Now, I'm no Yanks fan. And if you ever see me wearing any of their gear, please immediately pull me aside and beat me senseless.

But I really have no one to pull for in the ALCS or NLCS. And I think that's okay. I look forward to watching baseball just to enjoy it . . . to, in a sense, pull for baseball. My past two Octobers have been so emotionally-charged that a break from being so invested in any particular teams is something that I kinda look forward to (though having the Rangers in the mix would be much, much, much, much, much better than this).

It will be an interesting experiment: watching sports just to watch it, not to pull for anyone or any one team. I think I just might like it.
