i usually watch if it turns out to be an interesting series after the first two games if my team isnt in it, i usually always watch when the yankees are in it just because they're the team i most closely follow outside of the mets. and of course i watch every single pitch of the mets in the playoffs and watch about 80% of the regular season games.
i find myself conflicted when watching the yankees in the playoffs because i dont want to root for them but wind up enjoying whatever the outcome is.
i'm happy if they lose because they always win (which hasnt been true for 6 years now, but this was the case pre 2000) or i'm happy they won because my yankee fan friends are happy and i know how great it is to have that feeling when the mets win and i can appreciate that.
that of course goes way out the window if they're playing the mets, in which case i hope they beat their brains in.
