I can watch the occasional Braves game here or there, but usually I can only get into it if I'm actually at the game. Even then it's a stretch (no pun inten--screw it, pun intended)

I'm really enjoying all the responses to this thread. Wasn't expecting a whole lot to be honest.
Sorry Georgia; but in my household we hate the Braves. My mom's a die hard Phils fan. I, myself, am a huge Dodgers fan. We also both root for the Sox, though she does more so than I.
That's cool man. I can respect that. I trust, however, that we probably both share a dislike for the Yankees (sorry Tarukai, can't stand em).
Ahem. Could care less...? (It's a common saying, but there's no reason not to put it the other way.)
Though I do tend to use common sayings a lot, I might change this cause now that I go over it in my head, couldn't care less does sound better. So excited bout posting my first poll that I forgot about good grammar...shame....shame on me :oops:


None of the options in the poll apply to me, tbh. I like baseball, I follow the standings, scoreboards and leader boards like a hawk, but it's actually watching a game on TV I am not very fond of (unless it's really, really good). I like going to games, though, but I don't do that very often.
This actually more closely represents my stance as well. I would much rather be in a stadium surrounded by fellow fans than watching on T.V. with family or a few friends. Baseball is really not a sport one could enjoy with one's buds around the T.V. like soccer or American football. Not enough action. I love keeping track of the standings and statistics. Hey...I am a scientist and tend to be a geek when it comes to numbers and figures and such.

I don't have much loyalty to any one team. This year I am personally rooting for the Cubs.
I'm hoping the Cubs do pretty good myself. I'm also hoping that the Pirates will at least have a winning season this year. We're playing em right now and I have to say, they look like an awesome team this year.
I'm more a NASCAR fan, but I follow the Nationals and the Orioles.(both are close by)
Never really got into NASCAR believe it or not. Yeah it's true...not every country boy from the South is a die-hard NASCAR fan. The Nationals look like they could be a force in the N.L. East this year. I would love to attend a game at their new stadium.

I dislike both the Giants and the Mets more so than the Yanks; but they are a close third.

Im a huge White Sox fan...

Sooner or later we are going to build a dynasty, hopefully within my lifetime...although 2005 was nice.

It seems though you cant start the season without loosing to the Indians...God I hate that team...almost as much as Minnesota...and Detroit...

I don't own any teams. Therefore "my" team always loses.
