Oh Yeah...but when I'm not watching that, I root for the Phillies...

[Easy Mac]

Pulling for the Mets, Girls Gone Wild and the Cubs.

Talk about living in fantasy.

Braves winning the title this year. Hows that for some realism.

[bosshogg23]

Detroit Tigers!! Kansas City better watch out for 4th in the AL Central.

[wade moore]

Unfortunately for me, the Red Sox..

[Easy Mac]

Dear God man, does no one on this board live in reality when it comes to baseball?

[McSweeny]

Red Sox baby! and this is the year... really it is

[clintl]

I'm a lifelong Giants fan.

[Butter]

Reds. Nothing better than watching Ken Griffey over the last couple of years.

Except maybe a root canal. :rolleyes:

[Marmel]

Yankees

[Ksyrup]

Reality's got nothing to do with it.

Phillies are my #1, followed by my hometown Tigers.

[samifan24]

The Tribe :D

[Kodos]

I root against the Yankees, but only really pay attention come World Series time.

[JeeberD]

Astros! Though losing Carlos Hernandez for the season hurts our post-season chances.

[fantastic flying froggies]

Bronx Bombers.

[henry296]

The Pirates. Maybe the same them will hold from football. Nah, I doubt it.

Todd

[Craptacular]

When I cared about MLB, I rooted for the Brewers.

[Travis]

Even though my interest in MLB is going down hill in a hurry due to the state of the game today, still gotta back the Jays. Though if they get rid of Delgado I may change my answer...

[MizzouRah]

St. Louis Cardinals.

That would be enough to make me stop caring about MLB too.

Go Cubs :) Playoffs this year, I can feel it.

[Terps]

Orioles.

[WSUCougar]

1. Redbirds (a lifelong fan)
2. M's (a "not quite as long a time, but close" fan)
3. Twins
4. Red Sox (so I'm a sucker for the underdog)
5. Whoever is playing the Yankees, Braves, or Mets

Man, stop being such a wuss and pick A team, not four. :rolleyes:

THEM OLE REDS!

[vtbub]

Red Sox Nation

[korme]

My favorite logo of all-time is that Brewer glove with the subliminol M & B.

Yet my current hat that I wear is the classic 70's Braves hat with the blue and white, and the red little a.

Sorry, I didn't realize that Your Highness would be ruling on the sanctity of my choices.

My eternal apologies, Oh Great Yankee Fan.:o

If you have to know which one I'd pick, maybe, oh gee I dunno, GO TO THE TOP OF MY LIST.

[Ben E Lou]

Do you even have to ask??? :D

From Biff Pocoroba to Ozzie Virgil to Javy Lopez....

From Willie Montanez to Fred McGriff to Julio Franco....

From Jerry Royster to Glenn Hubbard to Marcus Giles....

From Darrell Evans to Harold Pressley to Vinny Castilla....

From Darrell Cheney to Rafael Ramirez to Rafael Furcal....

From Jeff Burroughs to Rufino Linares to Chipper Jones....

From Dale Murphy to Otis 'n' Deion to Andruw Jones

From Dave Justice to Mike Devereux to Gary Sheffield

From Phil Neikro to Rick Mahler to Greg Maddux....

From Gene Garber to Alejandro Pena to John Smoltz....


.....'Ol SkyDog has been a Brave through and through ever since he was old enough to understand!

[SackAttack]

Go Dodgers! With the current divisional format, purely from a rivalry standpoint, the ultimate season would have the Dodgers beat the Cardinals in the NLDS, the wild-card Giants in the NLCS, and the Yankees in the World Series. :D

[vtbub]

We still like you anyway Sky.

[Anrhydeddu]

Pads, when I care.

[cincyreds]

Cincinnati Reds baby!!!

New park! New attitude! Young talent!! Whoo Hooo!! I cannot wait!!!

[Vince]

Giants all the way baby :) This was a great and truly depressing postseason overall...it's amazing how disappointed you can be in a team that made it to the world series.

[JasonC23]

The White Sox!

[cmp]

The Tigers will shock the world.

And most disappointing of all is that Livan Hernandez is still on the roster.

The Rangers are my team, through and through.

[tucker342]

I don't follow Baseball as much as I used to, but my favorite team is the Braves

[Lathum]

GO METS

[Dr. Sak]

FIGHTIN PHILS

[Chief Rum]

Do I really need to say it? Does anyone here really not know?

Okay, fine, just in case: THE 2002 WORLD CHAMPION ANAHEIM ANGELS, BABY!

REPEAT! REPEAT! REPEAT! :D

Good to see we haven't picked up any fans whatsoever, judging by this thread. :)

Chief Rum

[bbor]

I cheer for a walkout or a lockout

[lynchjm24]

As a lifelong diehard Yankee fan - it's going to be a long 2003 - for the first time in my life I believe the Red Sox will get the better of them.

Not good times, bad times.

i've been thinking the same thing myself. Seems the boss is going crazy which is great. I think(hope?) the cuban guy and Matsui are overrated. Clemens and Wells are old men. Rivera's elbow is hurting. Jeter's been going down hill the last few years. Soriano had a career year. Bernie is on his last legs. Pettitte's health is a question mark. Posada is overated and the infield and outfield defense is weak. Looks like the yanks are destin for a last place struggle with the D-Rays :D

haha I can dream can't i?

[Bearcat729]

I need to save some cash to buy Opening day tickets for the Reds

Italics is who you left out:

From Biff Pocoroba to Ozzie Virgil to Greg Olsen 'n' Bruce Benedict Javy Lopez....

From Willie Montanez to Fred McGriff to Didn't we have an ill-fated year of Klesko? Julio Franco....

From Jerry Royster to Glenn Hubbard to Mark Lemke Marcus Giles....

From Darrell Evans to Harold Pressley to Terry Pendleton Vinny Castilla....

From Darrell Cheney to Rafael Ramirez to The God Jeff Blauser Rafael Furcal....

From Jeff Burroughs to Rufino Linares One's again, Klesko factors too highly on the team for too long to Chipper Jones....

From Dale Murphy to Otis 'n' Deion Covered the good ones, but how's about Marquis Grissom to Andruw Jones

From Dave Justice to Mike Devereux to Lonnie Smith?Gary Sheffield

From Phil Neikro to Rick Mahler to Steve Avery was the 2nd coming for like 1 year!Greg Maddux....

From Gene Garber to Alejandro Pena Mark Wohlers to John Smoltz....


.....'Ol SkyDog has been a Brave through and through ever since he was old enough to understand!

I could go through the early 90's late 80's teams like it was yesterday, and I wasn't even 10 yet. Man I miss those days when I could name every player on the Braves.

[Swaggs]

I am a Pittsburgh Pirates fan for the duration.

[HornedFrog Purple]

Well I will be rooting for my Rangers but after the middle of May when they are hopelessly eliminated, my attention will turn to the obvious world champions of baseball:

The Cuban National Team :D

[ISiddiqui]

Even though I now live in Atlanta, it'll be cold day in Hell before I root for the Braves. Mets fan here... all the way :D.

[JeeberD]

Trying to think of the baseball teams that I hate. It's not as easy as with the NFL. I hate the Yankees, dislike the Braves, Cardinals, Reds, Mets...I guess that's really about it. There are a few that are a little on my bad side (Padres for beating my Astros in the playoffs a couple years ago and Phillies for stealing Bobby Abreu from us), but not too many.

I kinda like the Rockies (lived in Colorado when they first started playing), Red Sox (my great uncle was a scout for them), and Rangers (kinda happens living in the Metroplex). Of course, none of them will ever touch my love of the Astros.

[oykib]

Go Yanks-- later for all you haters...

I'm with you. Of course I also miss the time when I could really enjoy baseball. Back when the game was fun.

Anyway, I'll always pull for the Bravos. It is so funny to me, remembering the horrors that were the 70's and 80's Braves, to see how many people hate them now out of jealousy. Never thought I would see the day.

It wasn't the Brewers' incompetence that drove me from MLB (although it didn't help), just the millionaires and billlionaires bitching about their money problems.

Ah yes, the old mitt and ball logo ... the greatest logo in the history of sports. The Brewers made the brilliant decision in 1994 to switch logos because they thought the new purple and gold colors would bring them lots of money. After all, the gangbangers (or wannabes) would proudly wear this new crap. They took a good thing and ruined it. Kind of like what MLB has done to baseball.

When the Brewers hired an attorney (Ulice Payne) as their new pres, a friend of mine suggested starting a petition to bring back the old logo. It would have been a good idea had I given a crap anymore.

Uhm, Bobby Abreu was taken in the expansion draft by, I believe, the Dbacks, we traded Kevin Stocker to the Dbacks to acquire him....so your Astros made him expendable.

[WussGawd]

Your 2001 World Series Champion Arizona Diamondbacks, baby... :cool:
