What is your favorite baseball team?
as you can see by my screen name, I am one of the biggest Phillies fans. They are now in game six to win the National League Pennant. I swear these games are going to put me into cardiac arrest so, i already called the hospital to have my bed waiting. LOL!!! these are my boys of Summer and are also known as the comeback kids! I hope and pray they can pull this series out so I can go to Modell's sporting goods early Monday morning to buy my National League winners shirt.
Let me know who your favorite teams are and why? Just remember the Phillies have the best record in baseball this summer.

Re: WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE BASEBALL TEAM????????
well, my team, the Philadelphia Phillies, are no longer in the race for the World Series. I would like to say that I am depressed over it but, no matter what, I will always love my ' boys of Summer' and I am so proud of them for winning the National League East for the fourth year in a row! That's nothing to sneeze at. Well, only four more months till spring training!

Re: What is your favorite baseball team?
What? Baseball is the biggest American past time. Everyone is entitled to their own things, but I am and always will be a huge Phillies fan no matter where in the country I live. I now live outside of Philadelphia but someday I hope to make California my home, and when I do, I will always root for the team I have supported my entire life!

Re: What is your favorite baseball team?
Well, I’ll be cheering for the Rangers during the World Series. Shame, shame, Phillies never should have let Cliff Lee go! So actually, I’ll be cheering for Cliff Lee! We can only hope the Phills don’t make the same mistake with Werth.

Re: What is your favorite baseball team?
Suzanne....... I do agree on one thing; we never should've let Cliff Lee go but we have the two Roy's and Hamels and Cliff Lee can only pitch every few games so unless your starters are better than ours well, we'll just see where the ball bounces so to speak LOL. The Phillies got two great pitchers this year in exchange for one great pitcher! And how many teams can say that they won their division four times in a row. Not only that, we won the World Series two years ago and made it into the World Series just last year. Just some food for thought!

Re: What is your favorite baseball team?
Don't get me wrong, I'm eating the food you're laying out. I remember fondly the 1981 series win! Woot! Day off from school! I was prepared to get out my families T shirts from the 2008 win, what a bummer! Now I have to get used to Phillies deprivation.
But I still want to see Cliff Lee do well! I rooted for him last year, I'll root for him again.

Re: What is your favorite baseball team?
If I had to give my favorite baseball team, it would have to be the 1967 Red Sox, which dates me pretty well, doesn't it? Jim Lonborg, Rico Petrocelli, Tony Conigliaro, Ken Harrelson (the Hawk), Jose Santiago, and of course Carl Yastrzemski, the last winner in the majors of the Triple Crown--just a few of the luminaries on that team, which tragically lost the Series in 7 games to the great Bob Gibson and the Cardinals.
I don't want to take away from anybody's fun, but that's the way I see teams in professional sports, as temporary assemblages of players. For a long time after 1967, I followed and rooted for the Red Sox, but I had moved out of New England and it was no longer a local thing for me. When the Sox finally won the WS in 2004, I was glad but no so ecstatic, and then when some players left it just seemed to me that it no longer made sense to root for a mere geographic location. But I admit it can be fun as well as unifying to talk with people in the community about "the team." So now I'm teamless and somewhat turned off by professional sports in general. I looked last night at ticket prices for the Washington Wizards (basketball) and found the cheapest seats available for a December game were $80. That's not right.

The huggest Cubs fan. I know, a CUBS FAN?!? But, that's just it. I am in love with the Cubs. I lived in Chicago for a few years, and just fell in love with the Cubs. I know that we have not been in the World Series in over 100 years, but I still love them.

Re: What is your favorite baseball team?
I was a Cleveland Indians fan when I was a kid but I just don't watch any sports now. Since I grew up in Ohio I would still consider myself an Indians fan....if forced at gunpoint to give an answer.

Re: What is your favorite baseball team?
When I was 9 years old, my father got some tickets to Yankee Stadium from a friend of his. It was 1961. I had seen Mickey Mantle on television for a couple of years. I sort of knew who Roger Maris was. And Whitey Ford. So when we got to the ballpark, I was pretty excited. Whitey was pitching against the White Sox. Mickey struck out a couple of times. But Roger Maris hit a home run. Some guy named Johnny Blanchard hit two. He almost hit a third in a row, but the White Sox outfielder went into the stands to catch it. I later learned that if that wen out it would have been five consecutive home runs for Johnny Blanchard. Four in a row was, and cointinues to be the record. I saw Yogi, Bobby Richardson, Clete Boyer, Elston Howard...all of my baseball heroes that day. And at Yankee Stadium. Of course, that solidified my Yankee Fandom for life.
Nothing much has changed since then. Through the championship years, and the Roger Repoz disasters, the CBS ownership and long droughts between winning seasons, I am and always will be a Yankee Fan. It's not about the rings. It's not about the hype. It's about that day in 1961 when Mantle struck out and Roger hit a home run. And about a kid who got the chance to see it all with his father.

Re: What is your favorite baseball team?
well, the Phillies are done and I really hate the Giants now. So... just because I like to pick a team to follow, I am rooting for the Rangers. I know they are the underdogs win but I hate the Giants that much. I wish Cody Ross would break a major limb on his body! I really am not mean that way but I swear the guy is on steroids. He seems to be too good to be true!
