My favorite is the 88-win team having home-field advantage vs the 106-win team.
We get so clever and cute that we're stupid.

Braves cup of luck runneth over this weekend.   Fun series.  100x more interesting than ALCS where someone has to win and that just sucks.

I was a Stros fan back in the day

it was just a little cheating for crying out loud

Yeah, I wouldn't expect Astros fans to turn their backs on them over it.  But I don't think anyone without a dog in the fight can find much reason to root for either team.

Not sure why everybody hates Boston

They have a beautiful park

I thought the Yankees was the team to hate

one interest thing about Houston is that all this adversity against them has put a big chip on their shoulders and has made them really want to repeat a world series win
just to screw with all the haters minds

theres also a feeling that a cheating free victory would help put 2017 away from continued ridicule

I for one understand this continued hate and hope it deters future cheaters

Fenway can (and is) be beautiful and I can simultaneously want the Sox to drop dead.   There's no correlation between those two matters.

Similarly, I had a great time at the Juice Box for game 2 of the LDS, doesn't make me want to root for Houston. 

Half the reason to follow sports are the villains.   Hell pro wrestling would wither and die wo heels.

I don't think anyone hates the "Red Sox" per se...

It's more that Boston sports fans are easily 3x more insufferable than nearly any other fan base.

A lot of people started disliking the Sox when the charade of them being the David vs the Yankees' Goliath, when in reality, they were the 'other' major political party - both of which were screwing everyone over and taking all the money.
ie - David shouldn't have the 2nd-highest payroll
