What about the AL?? I'm having a heck of a time finding someone to talk "Mariners" since I moved to the East coast (who wants to talk about Boston  ) it's even worse when they play the (yuck) Yankees  ....
Oh yeah? The Red Sox spank the Rangers three in a row and Nomar hits successfully again to lead the league at 16 and you give up on them already? That's not supposed to happen until after the All Star break!

You can keep your fancy-dancy ballparks! Nothing can beat a warm summer night at Fenway even if we are playing the dreaded Yankees!

I made it as close to right on the street outside of Fenway - agree with you 100% - beautiful landmark building. Just missing the whole extensive neighborhood bar thing surrounding it like Wrigley.

Ya'll just wait - when my son gets called up they will finally win a Pennant . A Rod better move over!
But seriously, I'm not a fair weather fan and I will always stay true to the Boys and the Rangers! Even though right now my sons 16/17 yr old team would probably hang with them and they are the Texas Mariners! Go figure  !

I have a horrible secret! I just cheer for anyone the Brewers are playing! I love watching fans around me get mad!

Saturday night, I was at the Matchbox 20 concert with my wife while the 76ers and Pistons were in the midst of their playoff series across the street. During the concert, it was announced that the "Sixers just kicked the *stuffing* out of the Pistons." All of the concertgoers erupted into a big cheer- except for my wife, who is from Detroit. She was booing, and left me fearing for her personal safety.

A couple of years ago, some friends and I went to Chicago on a 'baseball' trip. We went to games at Wrigley, Comiskey, then at Busch on our way home. It was awesome! Wrigley is unbelievable - all the hype is true.
Of course, I live much closer to Dallas, Denver and Phoenix, but I haven't been to their ballparks (yet!).

One of the most awesome tournaments my son was invited to play in this last summer was in Alabama at Rickwood stadium which was home of the Birmingham Barons. The Barons were the first team in the Negro League with Willie Mays, Satchel Paige, etc. They used the field in several movies, one of which was A League of Their Own. The feeling in the stadium was really kewl!  The boys, as we were told was a tradition, took some dirt from the field and put it in jars for keepsakes. The field still had original bleachers, signs and scoreboard and is the oldest standing park today. If you are ever that way I think it is a one time must see! Or better yet look here.

I was a Cub fan for 34 years. I died with them during the 69 season, the 84 playoffs, and the 89 playoffs. When they decided to let Greg Maddux leave so that they could sign 2 free agent pitchers for the price of one, I said that was enough for me. Go to Wrigly Field now with young kids and you spend most of the game passing beers down the row or getting up for people to use the washroom. Oh for the days when you could go to Wrigley and get box seats the day of the game. Go White Sox!!!

Oh at least log in if you want to Cub bash - I forgot that people in all other ballparks don't drink beer and never have to relieve themselves!

Cub Dave, Sorry for posting anonomously earlier. I love Comiskey, er,US Cellular because I don't have to worry about passing beers down the row because there are usually only about 17,000 of us in the park.  We just spread ourselves out. Gotta run, Out onto the field that is.

Is anyone else frightened by Lil's Big SMILEY face? tee hee hee I used to do radio commentary in Seattle on the Mariners. My raido name was "The Choke Lady" which refered to the fact that whenever anyone in Seattle had any hope what so ever of the Mariners making it through a championship series...they ALWAYS choked! I worked in branch land in those days. It was always interesting working with a client at my desk and a radio in the top drawer with an ear phone thingie in my left ear. Sometimes the games were much more interesting than the clients...and I'm sure they always wondered when I shouted WOO HOO when they made a deposit...How hard up can a bank be for cash?
