Re: Baseball fans?

I've been a Braves fan since the days of Dale Murphy... and the days of coming in last.

Re: Baseball fans?

I hate baseball. Just slightly more interesting to watch than Golf. And personally, I'd like to take all the Red Sox yahoos in Boston that are on the T on my way home and beat them senseless with a clue stick.

Oh yeah, apple pie sucks too.

Bring on the Barbeque and Football!

Re: Baseball fans?

There are other teams besides the Red Sox? WTF?!? Since when? I think all of these other supposed "teams" should just bow their heads in owe of the greatest team in the history of baseball. The New York Yank... grr Boston Red Sox..


Anyway, Been a Sox fan for years. Used to like the Braves, but they have had a lot of really disappointing seasons. So I just kinda gave up on them.


I am more of a Football fan though. Baseball is just kinda bleh.

Re: Baseball fans?

I dilligently follow my Minnesota Twins. Even sit through a whole game now and again, though mostly I'll just leave it on in the background and wait for shouting to glance.

Re: Baseball fans?

An Oriole fan such as myself is often set up for disappointment. Cracking the top of our division is generally an impossible feat.

That said, I'm not disappointed this year.

Re: Baseball fans?

Go Marlins!

But since I'm involved in a fantasy league and have a roster full of players from other teams, I enjoy watching many of the teams.

You should never be disappointed: Camden Yards is a great stadium regardless of whether you like baseball.

Re: Baseball fans?

I'm not really a fan, but I guess I root for the Washington Nationals. Closest team to me.

Well, NOW they are, yeah. :P

If you're not a baseball fan though, fandom by proximity is allowed.

Thumbs up Re: Baseball fans?

I'm a season ticket holding...humble (lol) Astros fan. We had an exhilerating end of the year run in 04 and choked w/ one game left to make the World Series. Now with Jeff Kent and Carlos Beltran gone...Lance Berkman and Jeff Bagwell injured or recovering we stink like 9 week old fish. I still have hopes we can at least break 500 this year and maybe develop some of our rookie players, but to say this year so far has been a disappointment for me would be an understatement.

I envy you Padres and Marlins fans. You guys have decent shots at division titles. Good Luck.

I also play fantasy baseball. I have two teams in MLB's Ultimate Salary Cap Fantasy Baseball leagues.

My team the Youngstuds is :

P Halladay, Roy
P Willis, Dontrelle
P Myers, Brett
P Beckett, Josh
P Young, Chris
C Molina, Bengie
1B Hillenbrand, Shea
2B Kent, Jeff
3B Rodriguez, Alex
SS Reyes, Jose
OF Lee, Carlos
OF Gibbons, Jay
OF Hollins, Damon
DH Counsell, Craig

My other team the Youngsters is:

P Halladay, Roy 0
P Willis, Dontrelle 0
P Myers, Brett 0
P Beckett, Josh 0
P Chen, Bruce 0
C Molina, Bengie
1B Johnson, Nick
2B Kent, Jeff
3B Hillenbrand, Shea
SS Eckstein, David
OF Gibbons, Jay
OF Encarnacion, Juan
OF Cuddyer, Michael
DH Rollins, Jimmy

Who are your favorite pitchers/hitters in MLB? Who do you predict in the World Series?

My fav pitchers are Dontrelle Willis and Roger Clemens. Favorite Hitters are Ichiro Suzuki and Manny Ramirez.

My prediction for the World Series is either Orioles or White Sox versus either Cardinals or Marlins.
