Where Do You Stand?
Listed in: BaseballSo it's time for a break from the non-stop Sonics talk. With the Mariners at a season-high 9 games over .500 and poised to start a series with the middling Blue Jays, it's time to start getting excited about not just one, but two teams! I was reading some of the diaries on Lookout Landing and this comment prompted me to come up with my own list of where I stand with the 30 baseball teams.
Teams I Love
Seattle Mariners - duh
Teams I Will Root For if They Don't Play the Mariners
New York Mets - you're welcome, Ben
San Francisco Giants - same, David
Teams Whose Sorry History Prompts Feelings of Pity, Rooting Interest
Baltimore Orioles
Colorado Rockies
Florida Marlins
Kansas City Royals
Milwaukee Brewers
Pittsburgh Pirates
Tampa Bay Devil Rays
Teams Whose Sorry History Inspires Dislike
Chicago Cubs
Texas Rangers
Washington Nationals
Teams In the AL West Who, Despite Competing With the Mariners for the Playoffs I Have to Admire for Their Continued Success
Oakland Athletics
Teams I Don't Really Care About
Arizona Diamondbacks
Detroit Tigers
Houston Astros
Los Angeles Dodgers
Minnesota Twins
St. Louis Cardinals
Toronto Blue Jays
Teams I Dislike Because of History
Cincinnati Reds
Cleveland Indians
Teams I'm Told I Should Dislike Because They're the Mariners' Rival
San Diego Padres
Teams I Hate Because of Their Asshole Fanbases
Atlanta Braves
Boston Red Sox
Chicago White Sox
New York Yankees
Philadelphia Phillies
Teams Which I Would Gladly See Subsumed In the Fiery Pits of Hell
Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim
So where do you stand on the 30 MLB teams?
Comments
Well, to list all 30 would be cumbersome, so I'll make an abbreviated list:
Teams I love: SF Giants
Teams I root for, unless they play the Giants: Seattle Mariners.
Teams I loathe: LA Dodgers and NY Yankees.
