The "who I root for" list, playoff edition

Among the eight teams in the MLB postseason, I naturally have preferences as to who I'd like to see win. Therefore, here's my ranking of the teams in descending order of desirability. This lets me decide in advance of any game's pairing which team to be rooting for....

1. Boston Red Sox (local team, would be nice to repeat)
   
2. San Diego Padres (familiarity factor as the Mariners' spring training neighbors)
   
3. St. Louis Cardinals (give them a chance to not get swept this year)
   
4. Los Angeles California Anaheim Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (I wanted the Mariners to get Vlad Guerrero)
   
5. Chicago White Sox (bah)
   
6. Houston Astros (double bah)
   
7. Atlanta Braves (triple bah)
   
8. New York Yankees (quadruple bah doesn't even begin to cover it)
