On the surface, this is easy. Of course we should be cheering for the downtrodden franchise that finally got its act together. Of course we should be clanging the cowbell for the team with zero World Series titles instead of the team with 69 of them. Of course we should let our banners fly for the club filled with young stars and nobodies from Out West instead of the old-and-busted guys from our division.
But when you dig a little deeper, you find that…okay, you still find that it's not that close.
