I get an exception because both teams are in different leagues.
I used to be a LAA Angels fan (California Angels back then) to but gave that up when we moved to DFW.

I'll agree with this
You can have two favorite teams provided 1) there are good reasons for each team (JW has them) and 2) they’re in different leagues (this only applies in MLB; can’t have two favorite teams in NBA or NFL).
It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone. You count on it, rely on it to buffer the passage of time, to keep the memory of sunshine and high skies alive, and then just when the days are all twilight, when you need it most, it stops.

Disagree.
I think it is impossible to have 2 favorite teams….there’s no way you can like each equally….something about one will make you like it over the other one.
I have a question, why can’t you have 2 favorite teams in NBA or MLB?
And quit agreeing with Josey, I’m working some Jedi-mind shit here…

Agreed.
Though the one exception to this rule is the kid rule… If you move to a new city and your kid becomes obsessed with that team, you’re allowed to make the switch, imo.
Like my Dad grew up in Alabamer, but had little choice but to switch allegiance to the Rangers once his rascally, ruggedly handsome son become utterly obsessed with the Rangers. All I did was talk about the Rangers, whine till my Mom let me watch the Rangers on TV and beg him to take me to more Rangers games. He had no choice but to become a Rangers fan, imo. Either that or put me up for adoption and/or have me killed by the Russian and/or Chinese mafia.
I think in situations like this, Dad’s should get a pass.

You can't have
2 favorite teams period. If the Dodgers and Rangers met in the World Series, who would you root for? Whoever you say is your favorite, you can’t claim the other team.

NBA and NFL are different
Because NFC/AFC West/East are always playing each other. To be honest, I don’t have a favorite NL team – just teams I hate less than others. As far as how you can do it, think about it like children – you can like them equally. Granted, I don’t have kids either, so I’m really talking out of my ass here.

For older people it was more likely to happen
because in the MLB there was a long period of time before interleague play when AL and NL teams didn’t play for each other. You could root for teams that never play each other and aren’t really in competition with each other unless they both reach the WS.

I will agree on the lameness of me liking both the Mavericks &
Lakers. Guilty as charged but there are extenuating circumstances.
Grew up watching the great Jerry West and listening to Chick Hearn plus the Mavs didn’t exist when I moved to Dallas.
I do root for the Mavs when they meet but I also like the Lakers. Yes, very unstable and I can see why somebody would say it’s lame.
I used to be a Rams fan (gave up on them when Georgia F ran them into the ground) and to this day don’t like the Cowboys.
I was always a Raider fan when living in Cali and as inept as Al Davis has been the last several years, I still root for them.

Once you have declared a team as your favorite, you are stuck with that decision.
If you move, you take your team with you. If you can’t follow your team after moving to a different city/state, then you were never much of a fan to begin with.
Don’t switch or add teams out of convenience. That’s lame.

Jeter
I realized a while back that I don’t hate Jeter, I just hate the ridiculous idolization of him by the media and baseball establishment. Really most of the things people complain about are not Jeter’s fault. Yeah he’s a mediocre defensive short stop, but he’s not pounding his chest saying he’s the greatest. He’s your walking cliche hard-nosed, plays the game the right way, clean cut type that is hard to hate on its own.
Some of it is my blanket Yankee hatred, but mostly its the completely rabid response from the old school dingers and ribbies crew any time a negative word is spoken about THE JETER that pisses me off. McCarver’s rant the other night made me change the channel. I don’t hate Jeter, I just hate the pedestal he’s placed upon.

Well back in the Baseball Classic
he was also shitting on the other shortstops on the team because they were starting ahead of him. So I’d say he’s probably got kind of a big head too. He’s no saint. Not that I really like Arod, but back when the Yankees first got him, he was probably a better shortstop than Jeter, but did Jeter volunteer to move to 3B for the good of the team or organization? If he had he might have headed off some of the persecution Arod faced in NY the first couple of years. Jetes does what’s best for Jetes.

I missed that WBC drama. He certainly isn’t perfect, but I think most of the flak he catches is because of how the media treats him. That’s definitely where I sit.
Wyo: I completely understand. I can’t stand the sight of Teixeira, even though a lot of what he said to drive the wedge was what we were all saying here anyway. He’s probably the main reason I am rooting for anyone but the Yankees to win the series.

But I also hate Jeter because of it. Hate doesn’t need to be rational – I hate most Yankees. On the other hand, I don’t hate Mariano Rivera even though the same praise is heaped on him. Don’t ask me why.

Nothing makes me sicker than listening to little pussies like Mike Greenberg or Mike Lupica whine about MLB losing an entire generation of youngsters because the games are starting too late.

Maybe MLB is just
losing a generation of fans because there are a bunch of crappy writers/sports guys/announcers covering them?
I am 26 and my dad is 61. I still listen intently as he tells me about old games he watched or listened to. the one constant? He ALWAYS remembers the announcers or the guy who covered the team. A semi-random thought but I know he misses those days. Last yr i got MLB extra innings and he was like a little kid watching the dodgers and hearing Vin Scully. I just dont have that feeling with the Joe Bucks, Thom Brennaman. Jon Miller of the worlds.

Scheppers slowly getting his BA love
FALL GUYS
• Stephen Strasburg (Nationals) and Tanner Scheppers (Rangers), two of the more heralded pitchers in the 2009 draft, both made their AFL debuts on Friday.
Strasburg, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2009 draft, pitched 3 1/3 scoreless innings for the Phoenix Desert Dogs, yielding two hits and walking one while fanning two. He threw 50 pitches, 32 of them for strikes. His top speed was reported at 99 mph. Strasburg’s debut was the Fall League’s big event for the week; the attendance for the Desert Dogs’ night game against the Scottsdale Scorpions was announced at 1,138, a large crowd by AFL standards.
Earlier in the day, Scheppers, drafted by the Rangers in the supplemental first round, pitched two scoreless innings in relief for the Surprise Rafters against the Solar Sox. He struck out two batters while giving up one hit and one walk. The Fresno State product, who re-entered the draft one year after suffering a shoulder injury just before the end of his junior year of college, was clocked at his pre-injury speed of 98-99 mph.
A good AFL might push him into the top 100, if not top 50

From Keith Law:
“Tanner Scheppers, a supplemental pick by the Texas Rangers this year who signed for first-round money, was even more impressive than Cashner, sitting at 95-98 with a vicious curveball with hard, late two-plane break. He appeared to be amped up for the short outing; I doubt he’d sit at that velocity as a starter, but even 92-95 with that breaking ball would get hitters out multiple times per game. His arm works well, and his potential to be a front-line starter is really just a question of the state of his shoulder.”

Regardless I don’t that has much to do with American society, brainwashing or its problems. Casual sports fans have always liked rooting for teams with a big tradition and history of success.

Please tell me someone else caught the ridiculous A-Rod butt-grab on Jeter in the game this afternoon?
It was on Posada’s homer I think.
Jeter went up to the top of the dugout to fist-pump (cause that’s what a true Jump-Thrower does) and then A-Rod came up behind him and let his excitement get the best of him and went in for the juiciest two handed both-cheeks-at-once-iest butt grab I’ve seen in a long, long time.
Jeter was kind of shocked and turned around with a look of horror real fast, then realized it was A-Rod and kind of went SIGH.
I found it quite amusing.
