Off Topic 2011

Revis - btw Revis plays for the Jets not the Colts. Anyway, you could be a Phillies fan.. I feel like I'm the only Phillies fan who posts about the Phillies a lot. If you don't believe me check the Official Braves thread, then check the Official Phillies thread

Sounds like you need a team to follow.




The Indians are always accepting applications for new fans. Our bandwagon is incredibly spacious.

After the 07 playoffs I stopped following the Indians and baseball in general. I was more of a casual fan anyway, the season is just too long for me to get into it anymore.

Re: Off Topic 2011

I don't know. I tried getting into it in 09 and at one point you could say I was a casual fan. I actually watched every Post Season game that year, first time I've ever done that. But I never came back to it last year. It just doesn't draw me back. I can get into it for a season or maybe the Playoffs.. and then the next year I won't care at all. Like last year I watched maybe 1-2 games of the Playoffs. I think having a team to follow and root for would help. Plus I don't really understand the ins and outs of the game and a lot of the terms and statistics I don't know very well. I only know the basics if that.

Choose the royals, their farm system is deep

Baseball is a perfect summer sport. Just lounge back, have a few beverages, talk, and enjoy the game

Revis is also a former rock band. That's where my name originated from. I was looking for an XBL gamertag, couldn't think of anything, and then looked on my iTunes for band names and chose Revis. Only to have Darrelle Revis become an NFL star a few years later.

As far as the baseball team thing, I've been trying to find one for awhile but I haven't gotten attached to one yet. I thought about the Phillies because of Ryan Howard. The Cardinals because of Pujols. But I don't want to be a bandwagoner. If only Indiana had a team. I could choose the Marlins or Rays since I'm in Florida now, but I don't like either of those teams.

Re: Off Topic 2011

My jersey collection:

Team Canada Home & Away hockey jerseys
Vikings Away Adrian Peterson
Cavs Alternate (blue) LeBron James
Heat Road Dwyane Wade
Blue Bombers Alternate (gold) Milt Stegall

BTW the Wade and LeBron jerseys are 2 years old, making it all the more strange. I haven't worn them since You Know Who went You Know Where. I've been thinking about trying to sell the Wade jersey to any Heat wagon jumper I can find.

Also, I'm sorely lacking a Chargers jersey. I always wanted a powder blue LT jersey, but couldn't get one before he left in free agency. I'm still going to get it eventually, but I think I'm going to get a Rivers or Mathews jersey before that.

Why can't you get into baseball?

I know this wasn't directed at me, but I'm answering anyways.

For me, it's because it's too damn boring. And yes, I've tried to sit and watch many Jays games, but it's just not interesting to me. It's the same thing with NASCAR, I'm just not interested.

No, I don't have ADD either.

Normally, I'd agree, but you're just asking for heartbreak. I've more or less just become numb to it all. Until our owner changes, it's hard to have much hope. But yes, the future is incredibly bright.

At first I was gong to tell you to root for who the Indianapolis Indians were affiliated with... then I realized that was the Pirates. So yeah, don't do that. I say try following one of the Ohio teams though.

Re: Off Topic 2011

Be a Marlins fan, our fanbase would double then!

This is similar to how I am with the NBA. One year I will somewhat follow it, then the next year not give a damn. Having a team helps that way you can begin to follow them, have favorite players, etc.

Baseball is tough to get into though, just because if you're a casual fan watching on tv can be boring. I've always loved baseball, I watch every Reds game possible.

Basketball was the same for me, watched 2 or 3 seasons but now I just dont care at all.

Baseball is like beer, its got an acquired taste of sorts

Re: Off Topic 2011

I used to like the Warriors, but when they started sucking I got into hockey and the Sharks. Still a die hard Giants fan. I love baseball.

Re: Off Topic 2011

I *kinda* hopped around from team to team when it came to MLB. LSU baseball is #1, always has been, always will be, my dad says the reason I was born at night was because I had better sense than to interrupt a regional, lol (Birthday is May 20th.)

When I was young, after the college season was over, my dad would always put the Braves on while he read the paper on Sundays (I miss The Braves Station looking back), but I always thought I would pull for a more, localized, team. But I just wasn't interrested in the disAstros (glad I backed away from that commitment) nor the Rangers. I will admit, when I learned the full history of the Red Sox Curse, I began pulling for them hard to win the WS when it got close to the end. But really, If I pick up on the disAstros/Rangers game on everyday, how can I with learn to be a fan of the Sox?

But it deep install a Red Sox-like hate for the Yankees, though.

Re: Off Topic 2011

Revis, how far is Ft. Myers from Clearwater? I'm going to Clearwater in March, maybe we could fight. Also, my cousin owns a plane company based in Ft. Myers
