You mean you haven't sold your loyalty like the guy on Ebay? :) I like the Royals. They have a bunch of hardworking young guys (DeJesus, Greinke), but it's just unfortunate that all their good players (aformentioned included) are on the DL.

RED SOX!!! I HATE the Yankees with all of my life. Yankees are little, rich, stuck-up jerks and they just remind of those little snobby rich kids back in school that think that they are the best thing since sliced bread. The Red Sox don't care about anything like that. They are just there to play baseball, win, and be a good team. And when Johnny Damon went as a free agent to the Yankees, he cut his hair just to fit in with the stuck-up freaks. That is why I am a RED SOX fan for life. (but I like the Carolina Hurricanes a lot better)

Well, it comes down to two teams. First I will say the second best and that's the White Sox with Jose Contreras (8-0, 3.15 ERA) who hasn't lost a game since sometime in the middle of last season and Mark Buehrle (9-4, 3.22 ERA). Number one, though, goes to the Tigers with rookie Justin Verlander (10-4, 3.13 ERA) and Kenny Rogers (3.44, 10-3), opposite ends of the spectrum, no? They are both having great seasons and seem to be leading their team deep in the playoffs. It's a close call and you can argue you it either way, but that's 20 wins by two starters versus 17. Slight edge to the Tigers. You might think about Clemens and Roy Oswalt in Houston.

Baseball is my favorite...to play or watch. The best part? All of it! The defense is just as exciting as the offense.

St. Louis Cardinals.  The most successful NL team in history with the best fans.

You've nailed it Jen.  The truth!!  All of these people who claim to disagree with you are just not being honest with themselves.  Of course they wish their teams were as successful as the Yankees.  What fan wouldn't?  The bottom line is that money or not the players still have to get the job done on the field.  Georgie is always talking about the Yankees not winning a world series in this century.  The fact is the Tigers haven't won still 1984.  So what is your point Georgie?  The Tigers are nothing more than a one hit wonder.  Big deal, you won a pennant.  You are all missing the point.  It's all about the legend of the Yankees and how it overshadows all of baseball.  No matter what the other teams do, it's still all about the Yankees and how your teams compare.  Some of you just have to make your hateful comments to relieve your frustration.  I think that's pitiful.  Instead of being mad at the Yankees what don't you turn to your own teams ownership and ask them why they don't put a winner on the field.  And don't give me this money crap.  All franchises have the money to buy anyone they want.  It's a matter of stepping up to the plate and doing it.  Obviously they don't have the guts.

Yeah if you want to look at stats alone but weird things happen in baseball.I remember last year the Royals swept the Yankees and the Royals had a horrible team.That's why so many people get frustrated with the Yankees.People think they should win every single game with a pay roll like that, and they probably should.I also think that a lot of good teams are too relaxed when a bad team comes into town and then they loose.Sorry...I keep going on and on but its just that I am a Royals fan and even though they are bad I have seen them beat some of the best teams.I guess that's just how baseball works.

How about the Tampa Bay Devil Rays?  They have some really good young talent.  They've made a managerial change as well as front office changes.  They also have some promising prospects coming up soon.  Guys like Carl Crawford, Toby Hall, Aubrey Huff, Joey Gaithright and Rocco Baldelli are fun to watch.  Good speed and hustle.  I'm a Yankees fan and like to watch them (rooting for them now as they play the dreaded Red Sox on ESPN)

Baseball: Oakland A's since 2001 (when I got into baseball again.) Baltimore Orioles my entire life. I was born and bred a die hard O's fan. In the recent years I've switched my alegience to the A's. \n\nHockey: Ottawa Senators and Washington Caps. Just got into hockey this year. So I cannot say I'm die hard. Of the two, I choose the Sens. \n\nSoccer:\n\nEngland- Manchester United\n\nItaly- Juventus (although the only reason I honestly like them is because of Adrian Mutu.) I really like AC Milan, though.\n\nSpain- Barcelona\n\nUm, I believe that's really it.

I'm going to have to go with the Mets. Despite them spending lots of money last year and yielding no result, they have actually spent their money well this year. Money buys good teams now and these days (of course, except the Yankees who flamed last year). They are a well rounded team, good hitting, good pitching, good defense. They have it all.\n\nI don't think any of the other teams have as good "teams" as the Mets. A lot of them did not do well during the offseason so it should not be as close as it was last year.

Well if you think about it probably the New York Yankees. The were great team througout the history and have won 11 World Series. I also like Chicago Bulls and they were great with Michael, but they were only great with him (of course Stockton, Pippen, Rodman, Grant helped a lot too). They have won 6 championships and that's amazing - especially if you do that in just 8 years, but Yankees had more great/hall of fame type of players during their history than Chicago Bulls and have more championship titles! :) ;)
