Colorado, Arizona
I don't have any allegiances to any of these teams. I do have an intense dislike for the Boston Red Sox organization (or "nation", or whatever), so from here on out instead of rooting for a team, I'll be rooting against the Sox. That's quite a negative way to participate in the playoffs, but I suppose it's better than just not caring.
What happens, though, is that I've got to suddenly and emphatically pull for the Indians even though I was just cursing their very existence during the Divisional Series. Fan-hood is such a strange thing.
As for the National League contenders, I'm just along for the ride. I think I might be more inclined to favor the Rockies, but if the Backs make a World Series appearance for the second time in their short existence I won't complain.
Ideally, given who's now remaining in the playoffs, I'd like to see a Colorado/Cleveland World Series. Both are due for a World Series appearance (this is only the second playoff appearance for the Rocks and the first time they've advanced to the NLCS, and the Indians haven't won a World Championship since 1949) and I'd be interested in seeing how Cleveland pitching responds to Coors Field.
Champion-wise, and I know this is extremely superficial, I'd rather team named for a mountain range win than the embarrassing Chief Wahoo. It's bad form to choose a victor based on mascots, but that's how uninvested I am.
Wait... the Rockies' mascot is that stupid purple dinosaur? DINGER?! Well then, there will be no winners this year.
