Mets: Growing up, and living in Yankees country as a Yankees hater makes it very easy to root for the Mets.

I too have a soft spot for the Mets because 1986.

The Expos

@Lou won't admit it, but he's a closet fan of my NL team. It's really not surprising, because the Cubs have the most baseball savvy, intelligent, loyal, not to mention good looking fans in the entire sports world.

Wrigley Field also has the hottest women of any sports venue on the planet.

The tardinals, their fans, and the city... all suck.

Cubs - would watch the games with my Grandpa back in the 60's. Grandpa would always be chewing on his cigar and getting up from his chair, running to the TV and cussing at it! 

Sounds like my dad watching Cardinal games. In 1964, on the last Saturday of the season and with the NL pennant very much in doubt, CBS televised the Cardinals - Mets game. The Mets were horrible, but not on this day. They beat St. Louis 15-5, and I learned a lot of new words.

Awesome!!

Dodgers and Nationals

I've been to St Louis many times, and really my only fear was MISSING THE TRAIN BACK TO CHICAGO AND HAVING TO SPEND A NIGHT THERE..

Never happened but that fear still gives me nightmares..

[greginpsca]

ANY team other the the Dodgers!

 

[Erstad Grit]

Pirates

Loved the teams with Bonds (until his lollipop throw home and bounced for the Giants and grew his head) , Bonilla, Van Slyke, Drabek, Wakefield, etc.

That Pirate run was when Angels were not so good.

When I see strangers with a Giant's hat on I'll sometimes say

"Hey, I'm an Angel's fan, I hate the Dodgers too!"

Usually ends with a high-five

I lived in No Cal for quite a while..that's very true, used that line more than once myself. Those "3 of 5" Giants teams were fun to watch, and I've met Giants fans in quite a few NL stadiums around the country (they really travel) and they've all been cool people.

I've always liked the Cubs. Love Wrigley, but as for the hottest women, it's not even in the discussion.

It's no Estadio Azteca, I'll admit that.

you're right. Go to a Kings game on a Saturday night. Schwing!

Reds. Was a big fan of the Big Red Machine and lived near Cincy when I was a kid. Follow them casually now but have always been a fan.

I'll admit that I've softened a bit on the Dodgers over the years. They don't bother me as much as they used to though their fans are still knuckleheads.

I will never be a fan of the Giants. They have the most idiotic fans outside of the Bronx. A few games at Candlestick sealed that deal for me. Any bay area sports fans, really.

Andy Van Slyke is one of those great players who are easy to forget about. Playing with those bigger names, he was always overlooked. So underrated!

Los Gigantes. Lived in Sonoma County in the 80's- early 90's and went to a lot of games at Candlestick. My interest in them grew as did my hatred of the Dodgers. My family still lives up there so we'll go to a couple games a season. Such a fun park to go to.

Braves. Grew up in the south, and this was the first team to arrive, to become "ours". Watched them for years on TBS, even when they were awful.....

[ten ocho recon scout]

Im a huge fan of all these teams at one point or another during the season.

That is a solid negative, my friend

Expos.  

As an Angels fan, I'm sure you can relate to my passion for the underdog.
