I believe the A's were the last team the Tigers got a Game 1 postseason victory off of.
A Cespedes for the rest of this.
I think I'm a little weird in that my order of rooting goes
1. My home team
2. Other pet teams for whatever reason(currently none)
3. Any team from my home teams division(Yes I will root for the Cubs if they are in the post season and the Cardinals are not)
4. NL
5. Anyone playing against the Red Sox, Yankees. Or any team that will piss their fans off.
1. A’s (many former D Backs, Billy Beane, great story)
2. Nationals (Mike Rizzo, even though I think he mishandled Strasburg)
3. Reds (Great pitching…although Cueto just got hurt….I love pitching)
4. Tigers (See above…I want A’s to get there..but if they don’t, I like Detroits starters)
5. Orioles (For sure want to see them win ALDS, but they are not great team)
6. Cardinals (Had enough of them)
7. Braves (done) Best line of the night last night at the Bar “Drinks are on Chipper”
8. Rangers (done) Ron Washington bugs me
9. Yankees (Because we are supposed to hate the Yankees, it’s like a rule, isn’t it ?)
10. Giants (I can’t describe how much I would hate to see them win another World Series
The ghost of Jason Larue kicked him.
He got injured somehow throwing a pitch (or not throwing a pitch if you ask the announcers as he was in motion and they called time out and instead of throwing the pitch, he stopped himself, and a few pitches later he wasn't able to throw.
my rooting interests now that the nolan ryans have been flushed down the tube!!!!!
any NL team (my mama told me that i'm rooting for the cards again, so i guess so)
any non_yankees DHleague team
if this isn't the time for a sac-bunt by the PITCHER i don't know what is
1. Ichiro and friends. I'd really like to see Ichiro win the World Series MVP then retire in a blaze of glory. I'm trying to ignore the logo on the front of his jersey, and I've mostly been successful. Also, I can't really find any of the Yankees hateable. Swisher's kind of annoying, Pettitte's borderline, but they're not that bad (or at least that's what I keep telling myself).
[big gap]
2. Tigers. I love going to games at Comerica, Cabrera and Fielder are a great combination, and Austin Jackson's fun to watch.
3. Nationals. I'd be really amusing if they won the WS without Strasburg.
4. A's. Same kind of thing, Billy Beane having success with this team after everyone wrote him off would be a good enough story for a movie sequel.
[medium-sized gap]
5. Reds.
6. Giants.
7. Cardinals. I don't actively dislike any of these teams (unlike watching Ron Washington manage the Rangers), but they're pretty much interchangeable NL teams to me.
Unranked: Orioles. This is pure spite, but after seeing Tampa become a perennial contender that reached the WS, if the Orioles won the Series it'd just be too much for me. At the same time, after years of "We can't compete in the AL East" stories, it'd be funny if every other team in the division had success. Plus, Dan Duquette! They probably rank 5th or 6th, but they're playing against Ichiro and friends so they start at / near the bottom.
Examples?
I assume he's holding it in reserve.
EDIT:No, it's someone else. They've got three in the Reds' radio booth tonight.
don't know who it was(I think it might have been Neyer) but I remember one that said after the 9th pitch(?) there is a slight advantage to the hitter.
That at times will figure into my pet team, but generally if I look at a roster long enough I can find a player on any roster that I'm rooting for. Ichiro is of course one of them, but he is more than cancelled out by being on the same roster as Jeter and Teix. (I root for Arod also, especially for him to have a fantastic series)
I mean I am rooting for Dusty, regardless of all the crap we give him on here and any other baseball board(just like I will always root for the Cubs in the post season) What team doesn't have at least one or two players to root for? I guess the Giants have just Sandoval and Cain and that is about it, but every other team I can find 3+ guys I don't mind rooting for.
See I find myself going the other way. I generally am positive about most players but then each team seems to have one or two guys that piss me off, frequently for no good reason.

That is the fun part, the no good reason to dislike. I don't have anyone like that anymore(except I guess Jeter) but in the past, that was the way I went also.
And I hate this about myself. I like to root for not against and I should be happy for Verlander and Jackson, not pissed because of Valverde.
Didn't know about it, I'll probably check it out tomorrow.
That's true, but I usually try to find someone I like who's near retirement and hasn't won anything before. Ichiro's the reason I started watching baseball again, so I wouldn't care if he was on a team led by Shea Hillenbrand and managed by Pete Rose.
It's fun, go to game day, you get a card, if you share the link on facebook you get two more cards. It doesn't matter when in the game you do it.
I just shared my card and got two more cards immediately and one of the two cards I got had four out of five in line already(just need the Giants to score two runs in an inning for bingo) Drawback is you have to claim within 10 minutes of the game ending, and the claim just puts you into a drawing that will take place in half an hour.
That's also my opinion.

Jose, I was thinking exactly the same thing (#181). The only guy who has looked older than Rolen tonight is the carcas which used to be Aubrey Huff.

I must agree, if you include the first game.
Really, that was the trade.... If I'm the announcers, I never bring that trade up. I mean the Reds with Encarnacion somewhere on the roster, probably would be the best team in baseball without debate.
Hey he's good too. I mean the Sox gave up Youkilis for him.
I feel bad hating Stewart, it's not his fault that he was part of a terrible trade for one of my favorite players but...#### him.
As long as he's at first...
I know, I hated Bartolo after the Omar Minaya Talent Giveaway.
