i still remember my senior year Homecoming dance in high school...it was game 7 i think of the yankees world series....all the guys were in the cafeteria watching the game of course...it was like 80 yankee fans and 3 or 4 mets fans rooting against them...



I can already see it now...Mets make a comeback and start playing well...then they lose 10 in a row...late august comes around...OH MY they are making another run at it....just to fall down again


if everything follows the form set by that last 12 yrs, the mets will lose to the braves again. :)

braves have started off poorly, but i think there is still hope. :)

i hate southern california sports

was a Laker fan even when i grew up in NY...if anything, i dont like them as much now, because i cant stand how no one here cares until they are in the playoffs

i was at an angel game last weekend...seemed like there was so little energy in the stadium...it was a pretty boring place to watch a game...

ah well im just ranting...

changed my mind

souther cali sports are good....southern cali. fans i could do without (of course there are exceptions, i mean even i am a laker fan)

OK, earlier the Giants looked good. Now it's the braves. Almost EVERYONE including me had written the braves off. there was no way the braves were gonna take their division this season.

OMG, it's still not out of reach for them and they are playing WELL.

all i can say is WOW.

Those giants and yankees look really good. Giants really have some chump starting pitching, but still mange to win.

Those world champ Angels, they are getting dealt with by the Yanks alright... :)

Problem with Yankees this year is with a 170 Million Dollar Payroll if they don't win it all, then they failed and as a result Torre probably will be fired.

At one time, there was the So. Cal Season Ticket of LOSERS. It was a good laugh to generalize that all loser teams were in So. Cal.
Clippers, Angels, Raiders, Rams, Padres, Dodgers, Chargers, Ducks, Kings, Lakers ... though a good number of those teams still blow.
