I am an A's man myself, but I've gotta admit, the Nationals have really impressed me. I'll be severely disappointed if anyone says the Yankees. So VERY disappointed.

Location: Boston, MA, USA

I'll give you two guesses, but I hope you don't need them both.

Yankees? :p

My most Hated team is the Yankees!

Ill say Diamondbacks!
-Even though all the players i knew probably dont play for them anymore.

Sports? *hissssss* *retreats to cave-like room with computer*

Red Sox all the way!

Though you gotta love the Pirates :p

I used to be an Expos fan, still am really, so yes i am cheering for the Nationals. It would be so Ironic if they won their division in their first year, a kick to Montreal , a city that never supported them. But i'm not bitter, no :gundge:

LETS GO METS!!!!!

Seriously, I'm a Mets fan. Some of us really do exist.

Here here.

Says the guy also from Massachusetts(born and raised).

GO SOX!

Don't take the piss...

Baseball? Isn't that American for Rounders? :D

Of course they'll win their division! They'll win the World Series, too. It's the same phenomenon that occurred when the Nordiques moved to Colorado.

Why? I was born in New York City, I've lived in the New York Metro area my entire life. My dad has been a Yankee fan all his life, even in the 70's and 80's when they kind of sucked. I've been going to the stadium since I was an infant. I still like the Yankees, even though they're mediocre this year. I'll always like them, even if they suck.

What's wrong with being a fan of a team which has been recently successful?

I also always liked the Cubs and Expos (and consequently the Nationals).

Why? My dad was raised in NYC, and loves the Yankees. His love for the Yankee's rubbed off on my brothers when he used to take them to Yankee games. I cheer for the Yankees, mostly because if I cheered against them my family would never talk to me again :).

The Washington Nationals.

I USED to be an Orioles fan. I'm starting to learn to hate them, but it's so hard when Brian Roberts is so damn hot!

I've been a Cubs fan since I started liking baseball. However, they seem to be doing poorly this year. Oh well.

I've been a Yankee fan since 1972. I couldnt really care less about people that dont like them.
My father worked in the Bronx, knew a lot of people and got me in to meet many Yankee greats during my childhood.
My wife's family is related to Derek Jeter and we have seen him at a few family events.

Although there is huge rivalry, as a kid I liked Boston too-my father and uncle were friends with Rico Petrocelli-they grew up together in Brooklyn-I have a picture of him signed by him to me and a baseball as well.

I'm still a Yankee fan.

Gonna have to go with my home team, thats right, THE YANKEES!

Of course, I'm not a HUGE baseball fan. I'm a football fan all the way. GO GIANTS!

Because I'm for Bump City A's, man. We don't like you 'cause Giambi's a traitorous bastard. It's the same reason I don't like the Cardinals. Freakin' McGuire...

Why not blame A's ownership (and most of MLb for that matter) for not investing the money? The Yankees can buy all those players because Steinbrenner was willing ti put in his own personal fortune to the payroll. Most owners merely put in a prtion of the profits.

Oh Boo-Hoo. Tha A's threw away some great hitters, and now they go and throw away some of their pitching. That's management's fault, not ours.

Although I hate Steinbrenner, just as much as any Yankees fan. He's wasting money on aging stars and not working on developing talent in the minors. You don't win with people past their prime.

The Minnesota Twins (lived there most of my life) and the Cleveland Indians (where I've lived the past 9 years) are my favorite teams.

Most despised team: the Yankees, of course!

Favorite Team: Cubs.

Least Favorite Team: Cubs' training staff/doctors.

LETS GO METS!!!!!

Seriously, I'm a Mets fan. Some of us really do exist.
Now if there were only some ballplayers in Queens, you might have something to cheer about.

Go Braves!!

Toronto Blue Jays are my team. Back to back world series champs in 92-93.

I'm an Atlanta Braves fan but you can't help but like the Red Sox ---- I'd like the Angels to do well too --- but let the Yankees suffer for the rest of my life

I am an A's man myself, but I've gotta admit, the Nationals have really impressed me. I'll be severely disappointed if anyone says the Yankees. So VERY disappointed.

Born in Pittsburgh, PA, so naturally I'm a loyal Pirates fan.
Raised in Houston, TX, so the Astros are another team I like.
But now I live in Sacramento (AAA Affiliate for the Oakland A's), so I go to the Rivercats and A's games.

I also like the Giants, but that is *only* because I'm National League raised, and still HATE the desinated hitter.

Toronto Blue Jays baseball on TSN, tonight we kick the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim's ass!!!!!!!!

Toronto Blue Jays are my team. Back to back world series champs in 92-93.
No Halliday=No Pitching= No Championship,'nuff said.

Even with Halladay in the starting rotation. They don't have the pitchers...
J.P. Ricciardi is a genious... let him work becuase in 4 or 5 years we'll be right up there with the yankees and redsox as the team to beat. We need another Halladay and two other guys to go with Chacin. IMO. The hiting lineup is okay.
Pitching is what wins you games.

I'm not really into sports, but I would have to say the Braves :D

The Oakland A's first and foremost, and the San Francisco Giants second. If the two play each other, I root for the A's.

I also like Boston and Arizona a bit, same with the Cubs. The Washington Nationals seem pretty interesting, I hope that they're somewhat successful, as the capital of the United States really should have a baseball team.

My most despised teams are (in order): The Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Yankees.

The Texas Rangers and the Anaheim Angels are also not among my favorites.

Being from Scotland and only seeing what Ch5 show,wich is generaly Yankees,Red socks or A's,I'm still a fan of The Jays,a lot of people from my area settled in and around Toronto( I belive the have a Clydebank day still)

The Washington Nationals.

I USED to be an Orioles fan. I'm starting to learn to hate them, but it's so hard when Brian Roberts is so damn hot!
No! Don't abandon your team!

Btw, Orioles fan here. Have been forever.

Brewers PERIOD

Now thats just what I mean,here in the UK we get only two live games per week, Sunday night and wednesday night(ok,very early morning our time), tonight,suprise suprise,we have the twins at Yankees :headbang:

Here here.

GO SOX!
Yeah The White Sox Rock!

Yankees can Die!

Diamondbacks all the way!

I am a redsox fan!!! From Boston of course. Always have been, always will be...
Unfortunately, 3 of my family switched over to Yankee fans...They have been...*shifts uncomfortably*..."taken care of" if you know what I mean...

Worst.
sport.
ever.

Detroit Tigers :D

Boston Red Sox.

My older brother is a big New York Yankees fan, though. :)

I love the Dodgers, being near LA. I have always been fascinated by the Cubs' plight. In the long run, you'll never lose money betting AGAINST the team from Chicago...

No! Don't abandon your team!

Btw, Orioles fan here. Have been forever.They're not MY team. Never have been, really. I'm a Washingtonian by sports team rooting interest.

Now if the Os will just trade Roberts to the Nats so I can lust after him in peace, I'll be happy. :D

The Texas Rangers, unfortunately. :(

I am pulling for the White Sox this year

Milwaukee Brewers

When October rolls around:

Chicago Cubs, Bahstin Red Sawx
