What baseball team do you root for? No smart remarks Orrex!:)

[TZ]

Seems to be a lot of baseball fans here and I want to get a feeling of whom I can trash talk!
My team is the Washington Nationals and I LOATHE the nearby Orioles (Peter Angelos gets a HUGE chunk of Nats TV revenue and kept them off TV for awhile because of his bloodsucking ways) but I grew up being a Cincinnati Reds fan....:)

[GOPisEvil]

1. I am a lifelong St. Louis Cardinals fan.

My dad is from that area, and he passed his love of the team on to me.

[Lady Freedom]

47. Hello fellow Cardinal Nation citizen!

[Red State Rebel]

75. Go Cards!!!

[greenbriar]

2. KC Royals

Brett
Otis
Washington

[flvegan]

3. Bosox, baby.

[NightWatcher]

4. I'm a Homer, I pull for the local Single-A

I dont pull for the Braves, my closest big league club because of several reasons (one of which is the whole Native American mascot thingee), plus the tix are too expensive when it costs 6$ to see a local game here in Savannah.

[bigwillq]

5. The New York Yankees

:bounce:

[Iggo]

6. THINK BLUE!!!!!

Go Dodgers!

[Bennyboy]

7. Los Gigantes!

Lifelong lover of the Giants. Used to go to Candlestick and wathc orlando Cepeda, Willie Mays and Willie McCovey take batting practice. But things don't look too good this year...

[BOSSHOG]

8. The Fighting PHILS

[SeattleGirl]

9. Seattle Mariners!

(They suck right now, but I love 'em anyway.)

[opiate69]

27. Me too, but damn, was that not pathetic today or what???

[SeattleGirl]

30. And yesterday too.

x(

[IzaSparrow]

10. Reds and Red Sox

the Reds have broken my heart so many times--they generally start the season very very well and completely fall off pace.

[Dr. Strange]

11. Mainly the Twins.

But I can root for the Rockies if need be.

[quip]

28. Isn't it poetic how we two love the Twins, the "twins" and are twins?

:pals:

[TZ]

34. leave it to you

to pev up my innocent baseball thread....:D

[quip]

35. There are PLENTY of pevs in baseball-- didn't you see "Bull Durham" or "Major League?"

:rofl:

[TZ]

36. True

I've seen both. I remember hearing people complain about Bull Durham and I wondered at firts...That um scene in the locker room was pretty memorable......:rofl:

[quip]

37. Costner's worst baseball movie, however. Field of Dreams and For the Love of the Game are FAR

superior.

[TZ]

38. Never saw For the Love of the Game

I agree that Field of Dreams is very good. But I enjoyed Bull Durham very much--he was prettty hawt in that movie, IMO.

[quip]

39. A GREAT film. It has it all-- love story, great baseball scenes (best ever filmed)

And legendary baseball announcer Vin Scully doing the play by play. It is the best purest baseball film; Field of Dreams and The Natural are more like epics. FTLOTG captures the essence of MLB better than any other baseball film.

[Connonym]

43. I normally hate Costner with a passion

but Love of the Game is one of my favorite mushy movies of all time

[quip]

67. I have no special affinity for the man, it's just that

he keeps popping up in some of my all-time favorite films!

- Field of Dreams
- Dances With Wolves
- FTLOTG
- Waterworld









I keed about WW! :rofl:

[Dr. Strange]

54. So that's like a triplet of twins there.

Which would normally make six. But what's wrong with being sixy?

[CC]

12. I was raised and always will be an

Orioles fan. Aren't the Nationals on MASN?

[TZ]

33. Yeah. Now.

After giving Angelos more than his fair share of $$$$.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

74. 4-1 baby!

Okay, so snowball's chance that they'll be in the playoffs in October, or probably even a winning record. But forget about all that now, I'll just enjoy the words FIRST PLACE BALTIMORE ORIOLES as long as I can!

[trotsky]

13. St. Paul Saints

Oh I like the Twins, but MLB needs to level the playing field before it's worth getting your hopes up for a team other than the Red Sox, Yankees, etc.

[geardaddy]

82. So, do you actually watch the games?

Or do you just watch the pig races, the "put-your-head-on-the-bat-and-spin-get-dizzy-and-race-someone-else-who's-dizzy" races, or getting a massage from the massaging nun?

[trotsky]

86. Don't forget the haircuts.

And the trains.

That's what's so fun about a Saints game. You don't have to give one crap about baseball and you'll still have a great time.

[geardaddy]

87. Ah yes.

I did forget about those!

[huskerlaw]

14. Dodgers!!

It's the only LA team I can stand.

Otherwise, the Yankees. ;)

[Lady President]

15. Pirates!

Yeah, its been a rough couple years, but I'll always be a Pirates fan!! :)

[RetroLounge]

16. Cubs!

As a democrat, I'm drawn to lovable losers...

:hi:

RL

[mikeytherat]

55. Same here! Cubs and Bears!

mikey_the_rat

[Brigid]

70. Another Cubs fan checking in . . .

Go Cubbies!! :bounce:

[ElkHunter]

17. Seattle Mariners

Although I am largely disenchanted with MLB, I was a Mariners season ticket holder for ten years. These days I primarily follow hockey. But I still watch an occassional Mariners game on television every once in awhile.

[Chan790]

18. Like a true New Englander I love my Red Sox.

and yes I am implying that all you Western CT and Fairfield County Yankees fans are not true New Englanders.


Go Sox!!! We're not fans, we're Red Sox Nation.

[graywarrior]

19. Red Sox, baby.

[Drum]

20. NY Yankees.

:kick:

[MilesColtrane]

21. The Texas Rangers

...despite all rational evidence, past and present.

[JTG of the PRB]

22. Colorado Rockies.

Man, what a rough start it's been so far this season... I suppose at this point, things can only get better.

[sasquatch]

23. Reds baby

:woohoo:

[KitchenWitch]

24. You already know - The Minnesota Twins

We're gonna win Twins
We're gonna score
We're gonna win Twins
Watch that baseball soar

Crack out a home run
Shout a hip hooray
Cheer for the Minnesota Twins today.

[emilyg]

25. Braves.

[Broken_Hero]

26. The Seattle Mariners, nt

[Reverend_Smitty]

29. NY Mets!

[pokerfan]

31. Durham Bulls

[WayneF]

32. Marlins

[Tommy_Carcetti]

72. That's my NL team! n/t

[Awsi Dooger]

40. November

Not a baseball fan, but now that I ignore the sport it's so calming. I used to be annoyed at all the baseball threads, here and elsewhere, but now it's simply others enjoying something I do not. Funny, because otherwise I'm not maturing a damn bit. :rofl:

I used to be a Tigers fan. If the Marlins relocate to the Orange Bowl site, as it appears they will, and adopt Miami as a modifier, I might pull for them a little bit.

[Forkboy]

41. Red Sox.

Though at the moment I'm far more interested in the Bruins. It's tough to get excited about baseball when there's still 155 games left to go. :)

[cbayer]

42. Nationals?!?!? Poor you.

Is there a foundation I can donate to for your pathetic cause?

[Droopy]

44. Cincinnati Reds

And I have been a fan of their's ever since I was old enough to understand how the game is played. I live about 40 miles north of the stadium.

[TZ]

50. Have you been to the new stadium?

I would like to go. I have awfully fond memories of Riverfront Stadium...

[Droopy]

53. Unfortunately, I have not

But I plan on changing that this summer. I need to get out and have some fun and I will finally have enough time and money to do it this year.

[elleng]

45. Brooklyn Dodgers, and

Washington Nationals
(And Baltimore Orioles! sorry!)

[Fenris]

46. American League: Mariners; National League: Astros

[ellisonz]

48. Go Dodgers!

[WritingIsMyReligion]

49. BOSTON RED SOXXXXXXXXX.

'Cause they're cool like that, and I'm born and bred New England. :)

[taterguy]

51. Any team that's playing the Giants

Still holding a grudge because their old manager cut Moonlight Graham after half an inning.

He could have at least let him get a chance at the plate.

[BeachBaby]

52. Phillies Phever, baby!!!!

My boyfriend is from Chicago, so he's a Cubbies fan.....and we got tickets for the Phils/Cubs game this coming Saturday night! Woo-hoo!!!! :woohoo:

[Efilroft Sul]

56. Pittsburgh's excuse for a Triple A ball club, the Pirates.

There are kids in senior high school who haven't known a winning season here, and entire generation has gone by since the Bucs won their last World Series.

[Burma Jones]

57. NL - The Washington Nationals........AL - The Boston Red Sox

And The Frederick (MD) Keys..........

[TZ]

62. I've gone to a couple of Keys games

Pretty fun.

[dropkickpa]

58. Sadly, the Pirates

I love disappointment.

[ulysses]

59. Bravos.

:thumbsup:

[jakefrep]

60. Cleveland Indians

nt

[Redbear]

61. Houston Astros

I think they may have already been mathematically eliminated though.

[driver8]

63. Any team playing the Yankees is my favorite...

I also like the Angels.

[Tektonik]

64. Dodgers

[PRETZEL]

65. No matter what the circumstances

I will always and forever be a Pirates fan. I was born and raised in Pittsburgh and the city is in my blood. No matter how bad the product has been the last 15 years, they're still the Bucco's.

I've had the pleasure of growing up idolizing Clemente, Stargell, Maz and the glory years of the 70's and the displeasure of the product that they've put out since.

And I'm hopeful that things may have gotten better. I like John Russell, always have as a player and now as a manager. We have some talent, much more than before, and with any type of committment from the players, this could be a good team within the next couple of years.

[Highway61]

66. Red Sox

New England all the way!

[mainegreen]

68. Red Sox and our local Sea Dogs (red sox farm team)

[MissMillie]

69. I cheer for two teams

The Red Sox, and whoever is playing the Yankees.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

71. Your Baltimore Orioles!!!!!

What are these Nationals? A double A team? :)

[TZ]

84. Hey now...

They have as many playoff appearances since their "debut" here in DC as the Orioles have had...ZERO....:P

[Tommy_Carcetti]

85. True, but....

at least the City of Baltimore doesn't have to say their last World Series win was in 1924. :p

[Phillycat]

73. Red Sox and Phils.

[Wetzelbill]

76. Seattle Mariners

[SKKY]

77. The Nation baby!

[madinmaryland]

78. I went to see the O's on Saturday night!

Actually you know that I'm a Pirates fan! It was fun when they used to battle the Reds in the 70's.

[CottonBear]

79. Braves!

:woohoo:

[Ikonoklast]

80. Go Tribe!!

Let's Play Ball!

[Fox Mulder]

81. Minnesota Twins.

[geardaddy]

83. Minnesota Twins

[Initech]

88. Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim of Orange County of California of the US

[dolo amber]

89. Go Broors!!
