Also, I like rooting for the underdog, too, but I don't run out and buy a new outfit to announce it. 

I got the hat 5 years ago at Sams Club in Tampa and the short sleeved hoodie was a game giveaway when the Rays and Angels played last year at the Trop when I was there. 

[Lou]

Ok, but it's still funny that you waited so long to post it. 

Now do the Padres.

I was out at Pechanga with a lot of boisterous Dodger fans.  Man, it got quite there quick.  I knew something was up.  

Also, Mookie Betts reminded of me of Barry Bonds.

I think I already did this but the Padres were always my favorite NL team. 

1. Because I had to have a team to root for against the Dodgers as a kid.

2. I always loved their old brown and golds (stoked that they went back to them).

3. Was a huge fan of Gary Templeton, Tony Gwynn, Dave Winfield and Ken Caminiti. Giles and Klesko were some others that I loved following. 

4. A good friend of mine growing up who lived in Poway, CA was a huge Padres fan and he would always have the game on the radio when our families visited. Been to a few games at Jack Murphy with them.

@Lou I can assure you I don't have any desire to follow or root for another team. Just the Rays and Padres, as convenient as it may seem.

The only other team's gear I have is a NY Yankees shirt that I got from my first visit to New York last summer. I think I've wore the shirt once, while I was in New York. My family there are huge Yankees fans and my favorite player growing up was Reggie Jackson. 

[Lou]

Ok , but it's just funny that you waited until this postseason to celebrate your fandom. 

That has bandwagonery written all over it.

Mookie is getting a lot of heat for a Chris Taylor error.

Was that Chris Taylor?  I really wasn't paying attention, and was enjoying the panic.

For some odd reason, I'm ok with it.

I can dig this.   Seeing my second favorite team beat the Dogs in the 2016 NLCS made me smile.

No, I emailed him though but no response.

I have a pair of Rays rally cowbells from the one game I went to 8 years ago. It's tempting to take them to a sports bar and ring them when the Rays make a play to piss off the Doyyer fans.

That's bandwagonery.  Do you have a house in San Diego, too? 

Selfies are gay under any circumstances.

he's observing social distancing rules outside the Lids in the Sherman Oaks mall.

so just the angels, padres, rays, yankees then?

Play ball!

Renfroe is Trouts brother. Arozarena most hits all time in the playoffs and is only a rookie. He will likely keep adding to his record.

Do you want to get shot or shanked?

Bruce Dickinson has a fever, and the only prescription. Is more cowbells against the Dogs.
