Orioles or Royals? Who do you like and why?

Watching the game and if game 1 was any indication, this will be a great series!! For me, if the Jays aren't in it I'll go with the Orioles. Who's your pick from the American League and why? Play Ball!!!!!!!

Orioles. If for no other reason than I've been to Camden Yards and it was delightful.

Angels.

I'm not really a Cricket fan.....

Orioles, only because I still have family in MD.

Royals because I like their fans. They gave visiting Detroit Tiger Miguel Cabrera a standing o when it was announced he had just won the triple crown a couple of years ago. I thought it was a classy thing to do.

It would be nice to see one of these two teams win the series as opposed to either of the teams from the NL.

Basically I hate the American League but between the two I suppose the Royals. I mostly want the Royals to win this year just because I want revenge from 1985. ;-) I was an Orioles fan for a while when I was a kid just because Boog Powell played for them and he was from Key West and so was I. Then I moved to Alabama and got hooked on the Cardinals (and rock music) because KMOX and WLS were the only radio stations we could pick up at night.

I will be a lot more likely to watch a World Series between the Giants and the Royals so, I guess Royals.

As an Angels fan, it was hard to watch the Royals sweep that series; however, I'd like to see the Royals win it all. A team that has gone as long as they have without being in the post season needs it. On top of that there is something about the Orioles I just don't like. Everybody was talking at the start of the post season about a Freeway (Angels/Dodgers) or Beltway (Nats/Os) World Series, but at this point we could likely see an all-Missouri series.

Orioles.  I'm a Red Sox fans, but I liked the Orioles as a kid too.  I had a Brooks Robinson glove.  Frank Robinson was a joy to watch play.  "Boog" Powell is one of the coolest baseball names ever,  only surpassed by "Sparky".

I am hoping that they make it to the WS and win so fans will start filling up beautiful Camden yards.  It is sad that when the Sox play there, it is almost a home game.

Royals - because the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Royals, because I live in KC and have been a fan all my life, well actually, all the Royals life.  When I was little, I was a Cardinals fan, because my grandmother was and the Royals didn't exist, but once they came to town I switch my allegiance.  Cheered for them through the glory years and still support them.

Royals but I have no vested interest... I lived in the area and used to get so tired of the Royals being the Yankees' farm team so I lost interest and rooted for the Cards. After the strike, I quit with baseball all together. So I feel like Homer when he suddenly finds out that the Isotopes are in the championship game after bashing the team all year... Go Topes!!!
