We should make another poll to see if the Red Sox will have as many votes as the others combined.
Im pretty sure the D-backs only have 1 fan on here...(I think we all know who it is:p he's our top all time poster...)
Red Sox are winning!
RSR is gonna have to choose.
If he chooses the Red Sox I'll sick some animals on him. :p
I tried to choose both, but I can't in this poll. So I actually flipped a coin and the Sox won. So yea, I guess split my vote in half, 0.5 for each team, I like them equally :)Quote:

If you are say RSR and metsguy you can root for the Yanks or Sox and it doesn't make u a band wagon fan. If in 10 years from now they both stink and they still root for them, they are a fan.
I rooted for the braves because their logo was like the logo my peewee hockey team had when i was a little kid. (new haven warriors). now even tho we have not won the division in the last few years I still stand by my team, even tho my second team... thats right wait for it... the METS have been doing alright... I still will always be a Braves fan at heart (unless they fu*k up with chipper like they did with smoltz, and even then I cant see switching my alliance.) Its not who you start rooting for its who you root for when your team stinks... I mean think about it... you live in the bay area... Bonds is gone... the Dodgers stink and the Angels are a good team... who are YOU as a kid, going to root for? The yanks stink and the Mets are good or vis versa... which one wound u pick to root for? as a kid of COURSE you are going to pick the better team
Mark it down on the calendar folks Feb 1st, 2009 at 1:17 am my Blue Jays lead the Yankees in something. I doubt you'll see that once the season starts, unless of course yer counting losses. :D
Not always... My top 5 teams are as follows: Boston/Colorado, Atlanta, Pittsburgh, the Mariners. 4 of those teams had losing records this year, one of them has not even had a winning season in my lifetime :eek:Quote:

I've been a Red Sox fan for pretty much my entire life (I was born in '85, and started watching baseball around age 3 or 4, so you do the math!). Bandwagon fans, especially those who bandwagon the Yanks and the Sox annoy me to no end. I remember the late 80's early 90's (Mike Greenwell anyone?) when BOTH the Sox and Yanks sucked; nobody except for the most diehard fans stomached watching them. Then when the Yanks started winning almost everyone was a Yanks fan, able to run off stats and players like they knew what they were talking about. C'est la vie. I grew up in south Jersey, pretty much right next to Philly, and I was one of a few who hate (and still do, mind you) the Phillies... not to mention the Eagles. Go Bucs!!! Anyway, to someone like me, who has been a fan for a while, it's almost an insult. At least to me.Quote:

I root for the White Sox, and go to plenty of their games, but only because they're in my backyard. Although, I'm much, much closer to Wrigley than the Cell, but that's another story. I can't say though, that the White Sox are one of my favorite teams, or that I'm a fan. For me, it's the Dodgers, then everyone else, then the Giants at the very bottom.
Well, it sounds like you did a pretty good job of describing one way you could...Quote:

so darthjaker and i are the only cards fans? poowie
I'm the only Angels fan? What's going on here?
If I have a second team that I cheer for it is the Cardinals. Became a fan back in the mid-80's and have kind of followed them ever since. They would be my choice out of the NL. Even got to see 3 games a few years ago when I was in St Louis for a conference - a great place to watch a game.Quote:

#39 for the win! I was born in '81 bro, Greenwell and Ellis Burks in my OF any day. I grew up idolizing that game-winning-RBI machine. To grow up seeing Dwight Evans in his twilight, and then see Burks and Greenwell come in...man, it's been a great 27 years of being a Sox fan.Quote:
