Ha, not to laugh at your situation, i got robbed at gunpoint in Albany but I knew there had to be something. That hatred doesn't come from just sports.

I'm in a pickle here...

I've been thinking lately, and more so after attending a AAA home run derby last night, that I'd really like to start following, watching, and paying attention to baseball. However, I have no prior association with any ball club, do not live in a state that has a major league team, nor have I ever lived near one excluding 6 months in Atlanta (Braves, obviously).

The closest team to me I believe is the Rockies.

So you fraud experts, how do I go about this? I want to have "a team" because that just makes watching and following more fun... I'd feel odd just jumping on a wagon for no particular reason. I need some guidelines damnit.

Now is your chance to persuade me into being a fan of your team (shitty or not). :twisted:

Noted.

It makes the most sense to follow the team closest to me, so that would be Colorado.

i say go with the rockies or twins. if you pick new york, philly or boston you will seem like you are jumping on the bandwagon of the best teams. plus it's cool to cheer for the smaller markets and underdogs in colorado and minnesota.

Thought about that too as I was at The Bees stadium last night.

I won't lie though, I have a problem associatign myself with anything Los Angeles sports related.

It's rooted in my dislike for the Lakers. :oops:

Does Disney still own the Angels?

well ... if you want a team that every year has a great chance of getting into the post-season ... this would be them ...

my best advice is to abandon this thought altogether ... baseball is boring ...

I'll agree that at times baseball is boring. However, I prefer it over football. Something about football just doesn't sit right with me.

But then again, this is coming from someone who thoroughly enjoys the NBA when it seems everyone else has a bunch of grievances with it. :?
