Decades of being a Cub fan will enable you the Baseball wisdom to keep an eye on other teams; don't misunderstand I will forever be first and foremost a Cub fan! That being said being old enough to still remember the Mets rivelry I cannot ever bring myself to watch their games unless they are playing my number two team the Disastros. However when the Expos moved to DC I vowed to watch some of their games and vowed to watch even more of them this Season.

So obviously my answer is

Lastros
Nationals

However I do wonder if the number two spot will be taken by the Fish if they move to San Antonio. If that happens I hope they use their Minor League teams name, The Mission. Either way I think that will force me to watch four different teams every season.

If you are even thinking of replying with a Junior League team please go commit suicide and spare us the torture and humiliation.

I am now ready to accept all of your beatings and criticisms.

I watch the Cardinals a lot just because they are on the fricking TV everyday. I always root for whatever team is playing them and actively root for torn ACL's by all Cardinal players. I know, that's wrong but it's just the way it is. I've always thought of the Braves as my 2nd favorite team.

AL? I know this will probably be an unpopluar couple of choices but growing up I was a Mickey Mantle fan and liked the Yankess. I'm still pissed over the 1964 World Series. Now though my favorite AL team would probably be the White Sox. Not being from Chicago that is allowed right? :lol:

I moved to Phoenix in 1996, so I was there for the DBack's Inaugural Season. I was also there in 2001 when they won one of the most exciting World Series I've ever watched. My wife went into labor the morning after game 7, so at the hospital I saw the highlight of the Luis Gonzalez single over and over again. While my wife was having the C-section, the doctors were talking about the Series. I bought a newspaper the day my son was born for a keepsake. Right on front is a smiling Bob Brenly answering questions at a press conference.

It was hard not to follow them because they had my favorite e-Cub Mark Grace and dominating starters Schilling & Johnson. Although they are a distant 2nd to the Cubs in my heart, it was really hard not to get swept up in all the hoopla.

If they didn't get hosed in the Richie Sexson deal, they would have a much better team than they do now. But in the current NL West, they have just as good of a shot at the division than any other team.

If anyone didn't already know, the A's are my sanity team. I try to watch or listen to as many of their games as I can. When they win I'm happy, but I don't go to the depths of despair that I do over the Cubs sucking.

I follow the Royals because they're the closest team and can get to KC usually for a couple of games a month. They're awful, but everyone knows they're awful so when they do beat the WSox or Yankees or Indians or Red Sox, it's especially fun. It was really fun watching them crush the dead birds last year. Maybe I'll get lucky and see that again on Sunday when I'm there for the game. The odds of KC beating the Cards on Sunday are as good as the odds of the Cubs beating the Nats on Thursday when I'm at Wrigley.

Woot! A's are in - finally.

Sanity temporarily restored.

If they manage to make it out of the first round - bonus.

Now...on to watching the flying red rats sweat it out. :P

The dead birds blowing a 7 game lead with 13 to play would be sweet and I really hate the Astros but...GO ASTROS!!!
