What team, other than your home team, do you route for when you watch them? or what team do you like watching?

I am a cardinals fan but I love watching the Angels. They run every chance they get and Vlad hits anything they throw at him. Who's your second favorite team?

    I'm a die-hard White Sox fan so it really doesn't make sense to root for another team. But I'll be honest. I really love watching the Brewers.

    Unfortunately, I have a lot of Cubs fans as friends, and we go to at least 3 or 4 Cubs-Brewers games at Miller Park (also known as the second home of the Cubs) a year. The Brewers are a very fun team to watch. They have a lot of young players that have already done so well in the majors: J.J. Hardy, Prince Fielder, Ryan Braun, Rickie Weeks, Corey Hart. I mean, it's a lot of fun seeing these guys do so well in the field and at the plate. I also like this team because whoever is pitching, you're gonna see a good game: Ben Sheets, Jeff Suppan, Dave Bush, Claudio Vargas, or Chris Capuano. That's 5 good guys right there. And now they've just added fireballing pitcher Yovanni Gallardo (currently in the place of Capuano who's now on the DL). And now they just added reliable closer Francisco Cordero who's been lights out this year.

    The True Blue Brew Crew's great hitting, great pitching, and great fielding make them a fun team to watch.

    Source(s): It probably hurts for you as a Cards fan to hear good talk about a division foe, but if it makes you feel any better, the Brewers are 14-3 against the Cubs when I'm there :). I think we can agree that, THE CUBS SUCK! GO SOX!

    I am a lifelong Red Sox fan and I will never sway from that but since I now live in Chicago my second favorite team is the Cubs...they are the lovable losers. I also follow the White Sox but some of their fans (mostly the bandwagon fans from 2005 that are starting to die out) can be really annoying.

    From an Astros fan...

    I tend to root for whoever the Cubs, Cards, Brewers, Reds, or Pirates are playing. Haha. And if no other NL Central team is involved, I like:

    Yankees (Sorry RSN)

    Angels

    Devil Rays (Underdog factor. And I went to school with one of their stud young players)

    Athletics

    Mets (Don't really like the team, but I like watching David Wright...**wink wink**)

    Can't stand:

    Other NL Central teams (Cubs and Cards in particular), White Sox, Giants, Braves, and Dodgers

    Cardinals, but that doesnt really count because I just moved to Brew Town from there.

    Fan of the Padres since Nate Colbert (from St.L), Leron Lee (Card rookie), Fred Norman (from St.L) Ed Speizio (Card rookie), Ollie Brown, Clay Kirby, Fred Kendall and of course my favorite Enzo Hernandez.

    Always a Reds fan!!

    Tigers, White Sox,

    If I'm not watching the Royals, which is rare, I like to watch the Mariners play. Ichiro is an exciting player, I'm a fan of Raul Ibanez (I thought the team didn't give him enough chances to play when he was in KC) and they've got some good young talent in their bullpen and at SS with Betancourt.

    My hometown team is the Oakland A's.

    I root for the Cubs, how can you not like them? (Like the Red Sox before they won).

    I used to love watching the Robin Ventura, Mike Piazza, Edgardo Alfonzo, Rey Ordonez Mets.

    I actually enjoy watching Seattle. Their a good, young team that seems like they should be able to make the playoffs (good hitting, ok pitching, great defense, great speed) but just can't get over the hump.

    I am a Mets fan who likes watching the Red Sox. Maybe it's because of the Yankee rivalry, maybe it's because I love Fenway Park, but I would root for Boston if they made the playoffs and the Mets didn't.

  • I'm a proud fan of a struglling Royals team but I love watching the Diamondbacks because I live in Tucson, and they're in the hunt also Mark Grace and Darren Sutton make up the most entertaining braodcast combo I've experienced. Ditto watching the Mets with former Royal Carlos Beltran. I also like the Mets because of what they did to Red Sox, oops Frontrunner Nation in 1986.

    I'm a Dodgers fan for life, but I watch a Tigers game once and a while. Mostly because I have family from Michigan
