I'm omitting the Yankees as an option, because if you're rooting for them, then you're a horrible person and do not deserve to vote in this poll.

 

That's high class. :roll:

C'mon, give me more Tiger-love. They have exciting young pitching and they could potentially keep the Sox out of the playoffs!

 

Plus, they have the best home uniforms in baseball.

But yeah, the Indians are way too much fun with Hafner and Sizemore. Just wish they'd replace that damn mascot. I refuse to buy anything with that racist mascot on it.

Yankees also.

 

Sometimes the Dodgers.

 

Dont worry about the high class thing bdutts. There are several commy RedSux fans over here who have been giving out Kool Aide, who wouldnt know class if it came up and introduce itself to them.

 

What am i talking about? How about the guy who tried to throw pizza on a player a couple of weeks ago in the stands in Fenway (think it was Vlad Guerrero as intended target...you know he is soo anti-Boston) or the idiot who threw an entire beer in Jose Guillen's face (its one thing to dump a beer and quite another to throw it in someones face). Ya, sooo much class from that bunch this year.

Who said I was a Yankees fan? Because someone made a stupid comment and I comment about that comment makes me a Yankees fan?

 

Please.

No doubt about that. Classless all the way. I'd bet that every fan base has some folks who are classless.

 

Sure, a lot of people don't like the Yankees. But truffle shuffle doesn't have to call them "horrible people who don't deserve to vote." Sarcasm? Maybe. Hard to tell without a :) or a :wink: or something like that.

 

BTW, it's the Cubs for me. I couldn't care less about all the other teams in the league.

I have a team in each division I'll root for providing they aren't impacting the Cubs negatively.

 

DBacks, Phillies, A's, Indians, and Blue Jays.

okay I live with a Yankee fan and am friends with two others. It was a joke. Smile.

Cubs are my only team. If I had to pick a second, it'd be BoSox or Marlins .... in an astronomically far second

This makes me sad. (Yes, still harboring much hate and anger.)

 

I don't mind watching Yankees games, because they're pretty much always entertaining baseball. I can root for the BoSox, Orioles, A's, and now in agreement with Roast, the Texas Sammys.

 

I can only do this if the Cubs haven't discouraged me from baseball altogether though. After last May, I spent the rest of the season forgetting baseball completely.

Me too, although I think it was June for me.

There should be laws against rooting for the Marlins, Padres, or Mets if you're a Cubs fan. Unless it's a lesser of 2 evils thing.

 

Their team last year grew on me. Plus I love Dontrelle and Cabrera. Two of my favorite players to watch.

 

Seeing how most of their 03 team is gone, I have no ill will towards them. And I look at that series as we beat ourselves, not the Marlins beating us.

well, the first story is sort of true, but you have the facts wrong. The guy was throwing his pizza at another fan. If you really wanted to point out the classlessness of the fans, you should point out that A) a fan was being made fun of because he had a whole pizza pie in the stands (super classy) and B) that a fan (who is also very classy) threw his pizza at the fan who made fun of him.

 

the youtube clip of the bosox announcers discussing it is hilarious. unfortunately it got taken down.

The younger fans should have passes for the last two teams since we weren't old enough to know the rivalry with the Mets and the choke in 1984 against the Padres. I personally dislike the Mets because they are a New York team.

Go Twinkies.

 

Gotta love the talent on that team. Gotta love it even more when Liriano eventually comes back. Santana, Mauer, Morneau, Liriano, Nathan, Hunter (for now, anyways), Cuddyer. Nice and stacked

I don't practice sports bigamy, no matter how ugly my current team is.

 

Ball State/Notre Dame?

 

As a former Cardinal I don't think you can fairly call any of Ball State's teams a sports teams (except volleyball and women's basketball).

Come to think of it.. The Braves are a great alternate team to root for... Especially because most of their games are on TBS... So it won't be too hard to follow them. It's also a nicely built and likeable club.
