Second half of the year is when teams are making the run for the playoffs. I'm a Giants fan and hope they can repeat.

  • Baseball fan ... me? You bet! Milwaukee Brewers. Maybe the Giants and Brewers will meet in the post-season to determine who gets the National League Penant.
  • TB Rays fan right here!
  • You have my sympathies.

    No wait, the Brewers and the Cubs are playing right now. I'll give you my sympathies after the series between them is over.

    • Fan? no,I only bet on them, successfully, I may add
  • I hope to see you in the Series then to take revenge. Rangers all the way. However, I'm going to say it's going to be Philly versus Boston, with a slim possibility on the Yankees making it.

    I can't imagine anyone realistically beating Halladay, Lee, and Hamels. Even if a couple has a bad day, that's about all that could happen in a series. If they add a good lefty at the plate, season done.
  • Coming into this awesome thread to represent my Braves; we WILL overtake the Phillies!

    GO BRAVES!
  • Yes, I like baseball a lot. Favourite team is yankees.

    • Rooting for the Yankees is like going to a casino and rooting for the dealer.

      Big time Reds fan here.

      At least now they have an owner who wants to win.

  • Been a Mets fan since 1972

    Been a Yankees fan since 1974

    I know - you can't be fans of both. I hear it all the time. To which I say "bunk".

    I grew up with both. In my family, my brother is Yankees 1st, Mets 2nd. When we were kids it was never an issue since they never played each other. Now we have fun during inter league games...
  • The Brewers are doing very well this year. They just beat Houston.

    • Beating Houston this year isn't a great feat, but you're right, they are in first place so they are doing well. Unfortunately they just lost one of their best players to an injury. Ricky Weeks will be out 2-6 weeks with a severe ankle sprain. Hopefully it's just two weeks.

      The crew has an amazing home record so far this year at 39-14, but they need to play better on the road. They actually have been since the All-Star break, so hopefully they can keep that up.
  • I'm a dodger fan all day! I now live in San Diego and have to represent down here!

    • As much as I LOVE baseball, I root more for 'players' than teams.

      I would be more partial to the Yankees because of their history and current 'bombers' group. Damn! Granderson. Texiera. Cano. Bombs away.

      Good for Jeter on the 3000 hits. Never forget some of the miraculous plays he's made - diving in to the stands for the catch and bloodied face. The 'cutoff' and throw in front of home plate to get the out. What SS would have been ALL the way over there?

      Pujols is my favorite player. The 'machine'! GREAT story on him on Sunday's 60 minutes. LOVE a superstar who GIVES back!

      Justin Verlander ROCKS. My kid plays against his younger brother (or nephew) from time to time.

      Sean Marshall is a local boy and proud of how he's doing on the Cubs. His brother coached my kid at some camps.

      LOVE 'the Freak', Tim Lincicum. Great ERA. Not much run support.

      Used to go to Angel games and see Nolan Ryan pitch when I lived in Southern California as a kid.

      Yah. I LOVE Baseball and could talk about it for days. GREAT Game! Whenever I'm on the field, the thought always pops in my head, "Who the hell came up with all this sh*t!" So much to the game.

      Thanks for sparking some happy thoughts
