Yankees. If they go another year without winning my head will explode.

For all of you ppl who think that Yankees fans complaining is a load of crap bc we've won so many times, keep in mind we haven't won since 2000... and we're favored to win it every year, which makes losing every year much harder.

The only fans i have sympathy for now is the Cubs fans. And the Braves too o guess (and I used to hate the Braves). I used to have sympathy for White Sox as well, but not now since theyve won. The reason for that is bc the Cubs have an amazing fan base, and it's been so long since theyve won. 2003 was a nightmare for them, just like it was for Boston. I hope they put it together soon and get one, bc theyre fans certainly deserve it.

The reason I feel bad for the Braves is the same reason I feel bad for the Yankees. When you are so close every year, when it all ends after 162 games plus postseason of paying close attention and following every day... when it ends and nothing is accomplished it is a huge letdown. There is nothing worse than losing the last game of the season.

Haha, Im also from Cincinnati, so this last year was easier to deal with knowing the Bengals were a legitimate team for the first time in my 19 years. But dont even get me started with Carson Palmer or the Steelers... omg dont get me started.

Anyways: back on topic.

What I want to know is...
1.) Who you think will win.
2.) Who you want to win (in other words, your favorite team)
3.) Who you'd like to see win if your team doesnt win this year.

For me:
1.) Yankees
2.) Yankees
3.) Cubs :cheers:
 
Braves are awesome. 👍

1)Don't know.
2)Seattle Mariners
3)Braves

I have another reason to root against the Yankees after the World Baseball Classic. Matsui didn't join the Team Japan, because he had to focus on the Yankees winning the World Series this year. Although Japan ended up winning the WBC, as much as I don't like Matsui either(he's from Japanese Giants, which is pretty much the Japanese Yankees), we sure could have used his help. I mean, four Yankees joined the USA Team anyway. Didn't Posada wanted to play for the U.S., also? Anyway, I'm sorry for the whining.

Oh, I totally agree with you about the WBC. I dont think anyone should sit out. I also thought Matsui should of played for Japan too. In fact, when they won I laughed and said to myself, "I bet Hideki wishes he was on the team." I think the WBC was a lot of fun, even despite the fact that the US didnt make it to the final 4 of the tourney. I mean, a bunch of Americans rooting for Cuba?! I thought that was awesome haha. Here's to hoping for another great season of baseball!

Exactly. Even the bigger name Yankee players decided to play for their country. I was dissapointed with Matsui(obviously, not the first with me. :D).

P.S. I forgot that Braves lost Furcal to the Dodgers. I doubt that the Braves will make the playoffs this year, but I say that every year and they do make the playoffs. Bobby Cox is pretty amazing.
 
go marlins or whitesox.

It is important to note that Matsui planned on playing for Japan, but then decided not to play because of pressure from Steinbrenner. But that doesnt change the fact that I still think he shouldve played anyways. George gets worked up too easily. Sometimes its a good thing, but sometimes its very counterproductive.

I figured as much. I do admire him for his loyalty to the team, but at the same time, from Japan's point of view, he really let us down.
 
SF Giants, invincible defense, pretty good batting, horible pitching :lol:
 
1)Mariners!!!!

yea, make sure you cork the bat too just to make sure the balls make the water :)
 
The Pittsburgh Pirates will win this year, Pittsburgh will once again be the city of champions.
 
That Superbowl win really went to your head :)
 
Damn, Kyle! Mariners won again! :cool:👍 Media in Oregon were even excited about that loss in the first game. I couldn't make it to a single game last year, so I was hoping to catch one or two this year. Looking good, Mariners! 👍 I'm also glad about the Japanese catcher, Jojima. Since he's catcher, I was bit worried about the language barrier, but he seem to be working out well. Go Mariners!
 
Yes, we have a first place team again! For the time being anyway... The M's look much better this year than they have in recent years. Sure it's early, but I don't think anyone would rather have their team start 0-7...
 
1) Toronto Blue Jays -- They've bought themselves a great team.
2) Rangers or Braves
3) Cubbies
