2. It will be a long, long... long time
Before the San Francisco 49ers go back to the Superbowl.. Feel bad for them. Maybe the Raiders will get there sooner.

5. I'm a Rockies fan
I hate the DBacks more than any NL West team. If you are wondering why, I was a Rockies fan before the DBacks existed.

11. Bridgeport Sound Tigers?
A minor league affiliate?

I would actually enjoy that to be honest. At least the focus would be on a real sport.

13. The Cubs!
Technically, the Sox winning means NOTHING for Cub fans. Trust me, i know. I've been a fan for nearly 50 years, and they've never even sniffed PLAYING in the World Series.

They deserve our impatience, our derision, and so do the fans, including me.

14. Any team that exhibits arrogance or disrepects sportsmanship,
it's players, fans, or the sport itself, or, owners who openly support and contribute to or have ties to Rethuglicans.

You do that, are yer askin' for it!

16. So the Arizona Cardinals?
I'm sure there's more, but the Bidwells are definitely MASSIVE Rethug supporters.

20. I looked at it this way...
Edited on Wed Nov-03-10 02:12 PM by hughee99
Talking specifically about baseball,

You have to have a team whose fans believe they will be in contention every year (or at least almost every year), so you can throw out the Pirates and Royals. No one is going to give a continually shitty team grief for not winning championships, they'll instead just hear how their team is shitty every year.

It's got to be a team with a significant enough payroll, so you can throw out the Brewers and San Diego. Teams that can't spend any money shouldn't get that much crap for never winning championships.

Also, they have to have somewhat vocal fans in the forum, and I don't recall any vocal Astros, Mariners, or Orioles fans to give shit to.

Obviously, teams that won in roughly the last 20 years aren't going to get that much grief either (Twins, D-backs, Angels, even Atlanta).


As I see it, there are only four teams left. The Mets, Cubs, Dodgers and Tigers and 3 of those teams won championships in the last 30 years.
