I don't live in a two-team baseball town so that dynamic is hard for me to understand. Speedy explains to me about the Cubs and the White Sox, but I still don't get it sometimes, especially when they are in separate leagues.
I guess that makes me a sports idiot but what is wrong with wanting the Mets to do well if they make it to the World Series and you are from New York and a Yankees fan and vice versa (assuming your team is not involved)?
If Ft. Worth ever gets a team, I guess I'll have to choose.
exactly id root ny over any town ..period
mets fans are just uptight because the yanks own the town
i post on the board of a band that doesn't exsist anymore .......i need my head examined.......

as a lifelong dodger fan, i will root for the angels in only the most dire of circumstances...for example, the 2002 series...but that had more to do with them playing the giants...i'd root for satan's team to beat the giants...actually, that's the same team but you get my point :P
That is stupid. The Angles make it to the World Series and I am pulling for whoever they are playing. How can you root for a division rival in any circumstance (unless them winning directly affects your team in a positive way)? Isn't that fraudulent?
Nellie, your a Yankee fan... it's easy to not hate the Mets as much when you have 27 championships to 2. If it was the other way around and you have to live in a city where their is a superior team always in your face, you would not be so easily flip about it. Ask Clipper fans if they root for the Lakers, or Cubs/White Sox fans.
Live amongst Yankee fans for your entire life and then tell me it's stupid. I won't root for the Phillies either. I forget baseball exists if they play each other like last year.
i cant speak for you but i know quite a few mets fans who were actually rooting hard for the phils at the pj shows last year ...including one from this board with the team in his username

Can someone tell me about this Giants/Doyers supposed "rivalrly". I've always heard about it like it some big deal, but I just don't get it outside that they play in the same division. Cities aren't even remotely close to each other, both teams have barely been competitive at the same time, and I don't wanna hear anything about it going back to the New York days because that wouldn't make any sense either. I just don't see it outside of being the usual division rival.
Well, I am enjoying this while it lasts. So much so that I could really give a fuck about the Cowboys right now.
Is that more because of the success of the Rangers or the 1-4 record of the Cowboys?
Both. I've been going to Rangers game since I was a little kid and they have always been a laughing stock and now they are finally doing something and that is an awesome feeling.
I am pissed off at the Cowboys right now. I don't like their attitude, I don't like their coaching staff, and I am seriously starting to hate the owner. The feeling around here is that enough is enough. Enough talk, enough glitz and glamor, enough about the Death Star, enough about TV shows and circuses and all of that. I am getting sick of the sideshows and just want them to play football for once. They can't just play football without controversy and everyone analyzing everything to death. I bet Yankee fans can relate.
Right now the Rangers are like the anti-Cowboys. No pretension, no sense of entitlement, no "me first". Their stadium sits in the shadows of the Death Star and the occupants of the that monstrosity should look out the space port and see the Rangers and learn a little something about how a team plays.
I love the Cowboys and always will, they are just irritating me right now.
I enjoyed them more when I was a kid and they were a farm team for the Dodgers. But it's still fun to go to an AFFORDABLE game and root for the home team.

Great post. I'm also a Rangers fan since day 1. I even worked at the old stadium in 1973!
After being the laughingstock for so long, it feels unbelievable to have so much to be happy about.

Wow! I miss the old stadium. My wife and I had our first date there! I loved the way the outfield would get so loud when everyone stomped their feet, especially on bat night. I loved that you could park for a few dollars and sit in the bleachers and watch Nolan Ryan for about $5. I used to do my homework out there when I was in college. I would sit at the top of the bleachers with my books and do my college homework. I went to UTA down the street and used to work at the Barnes and Noble there on I-30. It is gone now.

I'd forgotten how loud it used to get! Too funny!
One of my best memories of the old stadium was taking my nephew (10 years old and visiting from out of state) to a game with Seattle. Nolan Ryan pitching against Randy Johnson! Helluva game! Some dude behind us was smoking a pipe and by the time the game was over there was a huge cloud of smoke in our section! Good times.
I remember that Barnes and Noble. So many places around that location that are gone. I know the old stadium was kinda crummy but I saw a lot of games there.
