Boston Red Sox (9x World Series Champions)

I really liked Terry Francona's strategy of wearing down the Yankees by having them exert excessive amounts of energy by circling the bases so much in the first game of the day-night DH.

how is it you, a seemingly normal person who actually has good taste in sports teams of other venues (The Ohio State Buckeyes), became a yankee fan?

Well, when I was very young (from ages 7 to 10) and impressionable, I lived in New York (Long Island) and in the years I was there, Reggie Jackson was hitting a lot of WS HRs. 1977 and 1978 NY over LA sealed it for me.

Probably the same way you became a Ranger fan.

yeah but the rangers suck, so it's ok to like some NY sports.

Truth is, I used to be a bigger Met fan.

Nice home-stand, Bo-Sox.

Theo says, "I wonder... what if I had more than a mere 125 Million to spend on players..... I bet then we could beat the Yankees. Life ... I wish.. were so fair."

I'm so sad. Football season can't get here fast enough!

(I'm a diehard, so no, I'm not not getting off the bandwagon. Love this team no matter what.)

And how are you a Raiders fan, Rangers fan, Chicago fan, and a Syracuse fan?

location only plays a part in the Rangers/Syracuse. I'm not one of those losers who thinks he has to like a team just because of where he lives. :p

51 runners left-on-base in 5 games.

Can't blame Theo or Tito for that A-Rodesque clutch hitting.
