^ thats mean.

However, it is true.

I was at the last regular season game from the last time we made the playoffs and this past year.

I have had bucco fever for about 3 or 4 years now. I can't wait for this year! (Even though our payroll still sucks, we let go of a few good players and didn't pcik anybody new yet).

Born and raised Phillies fan. If you asked me this question 3, 4, 5, 6 years ago I'd have said "Hell yeah!!" This year I'm just waiting for the free fall into oblivion, so that ticket prices on Stub Hub go waaaay down. Unless everything, and I mean everything, goes perfectly right for them, they'll be lucky to win 70-75 games this year.

And, while we're at it, a Lion's Superbowl win brings out the remaining three Horsemen of Apocalypse.

LA. The Dodgers were 2-0 before even showing up in San Diego.

Pirates have been uh, 'rebuilding' since '92, the last playoff game I was at. There's nothing like spending an afternoon in the 'ol ballpark. After last season I may become interested again. Bucco's may be a long shot this year but it's better than being lower than whale E36 M3.

I'm not a fan of any particular teams, but I really enjoy going to baseball games. Warm summer nights, cold cheap beer (Jacksonville Suns has dollar beer days), nice atmosphere. What's not to like?

Haha. Sorry just giving you a hard time. I'm very happy to see people cheering for the Pirates again rather than laughing at them. Nice win yesterday to boot.

Been a BoSox fan since I was a kid (both parents grew up in Boston area), but I also like to root for the Mariners. Got to watch the M's beat up on the Angels last night. I usually tune out the entire long season and just pick up baseball watching for the playoffs and world series.

No worries, I really don't like fair weather fans so I just wanted to make that clear. Unfortunately I didn't get to see the game yesterday but looking at the box score of it I could feel the anxiety building lol

I'm a Mets fan, The best I can hope for is .500, and even that hasn't been done since '08. Come to think about it, that is when they left Shay for Citi Field...

But my AL team is from Boston, so I'm hoping for another good year

But locally I have the B-Mets(AA) and tickets are under $10, $1 hot dogs. When I lived in VA I was one town away from the Tides when they where with the Mets(AAA).

tigers suck balls. funny how much you can hate a team when your mother in law loves them. they'll be handcuffed by fatty cabrera's 298 bazillion dollar deal in a few years when his body breaks down from being fat and they still owe him for 6 or 7 years.

And yet, they're 2 and 0 so far.
