Mark Vader Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 They've been addressing the hitting this offseason. Yes they have, I hope it'll be the answer to getting back to the playoffs.
Fezmid Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 Minnesota Swarm defeat the defending champion Calgary Roughnecks tonight!
ExiledInIllinois Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 Yankees fans not from NYC/Tri-state area are poseurs. It's like rooting for the dealer in blackjack. /Science Really... Only if the area which you live in has a team... I can see your point. If your area doesn't have a team, why not root for ANY team. The Yankees have always had a big historical following in BFLO... Even the Steinbrenner family is from the Great Lakes Region (Cleveland).

Yeah, I disagree with that statement as well. When I became a fan of the Yankees at 6 years old, I had no idea that they played 400 miles away nor did it matter. I lived in New York, they were the New York Yankees and they were and still are my favorite team.
LewPort71 Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 Pro team....Manchester United College...Purdue,,,WVU...Marshall HS...LewPort Lancers of course
Wooderson Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 I've kind of became an Oregon football fan as of late. For professional football, my number two team would prolly be the Colts. I always find myself rooting for them. Woops almost forgot UNC for college hoops.

The Yankees and Dodgers! REALLY! My grandmother (born 1914) was a avid Yankee fan since she was a little girl.
Scraps Posted January 17, 2010 Posted January 17, 2010 I like Boston college. Not sure why or how it happened. Flutie
The Dean Posted January 17, 2010 Posted January 17, 2010 Red Sox Pirates (God I am sad) Steelers Penn State football Tar Heel B-Ball Colts
PushthePile Posted January 17, 2010 Posted January 17, 2010 Red SoxPirates (God I am sad) Steelers Penn State football Tar Heel B-Ball Colts My father has been a hardcore Pirates fan since the 1960 World Series. I was actually born the night they beat the Orioles in game 7 of the 79 world series. Things were looking good for Willie "pops" Stargell and my pop. ........ you know the rest , Oh and eff Sid Bream.

Stargell hit one out of the stadium. Clemente is the closest I have ever come to having a "sports hero". Next year is their year, for sure!

Clemente is the closest I have ever come to having a "sports hero". Next year is their year, for sure! Obviously, Forbes Field and Clemente were before my time but I've been educated on both. Always thought the sight of Mazeroski's homerun disappearing into the trees was surreal. Clemente was a hero to many.

Clemente is the closest I have ever come to having a "sports hero". Next year is their year, for sure! I saw Clemente play three times. Once at Forbes, then at Shea and finally at Three Rivers.
EDinRTP Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 Carolina Hurricanes, Syracuse, & anyone who beats the NY Yankees & Michigan Wolverines.
Dante Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 See avatar for #1 I also like the Sabres and watch them when I can. I grew up with them and went too quite a few games.
