I’ve been neglecting this site, mainly because I’m bored of sports (or at least bored of talking about sports — I still watch). I’ve started yet another blog and haven’t had much to say here lately. With Jose Mesa remaining unsigned, my future as a sports blogger is questionable (not really, but you know).
I still have three of four teams in the final four (damn you, Pitt). So that’s good. We’re going to our first Rockies game of the year on Saturday, and I’ve managed to avoid punching Carmelo Anthony and Brandon Marshall (Jay Cutler, I’ve got your back, yo) in the face, even though I want to most of the time.
Right now, the burning question on my mind is whether having three baseball teams would be whorey of me. I mean, I have the White Sox, the team that made me love baseball, even though they suck ass and I don’t live there and sometimes it seems like the magic is gone. I have the Rockies, and they’re exciting and still make an effort to woo a girl from time to time, but the whole Christian thing still bothers me when I think about it too much. I have to admit that I also have my eye on the Angels. They’re sexy, and my boyfriend Jon Garland was stellar in his debut with the team yesterday. Can I follow my boyfriend to a new team, or is a three-way battle for my fandom just too much?
I don’t know. How do you stay loyal to your hometown team when you don’t live there anymore and the team sucks? Shouldn’t they at least make an effort, or do they expect me to be loyal even though they’ve been dismal? What I do know is that I’m already sick of Yankees and Red Sox fans. And Cubs fans can Fukudome.

Aw, c’mon. Can’t we just get…beyond Fukudome?

If making fun of Fukudome is wrong, I don’t want to be right.

I’m like you, I have 3 baseball team I’m currently following. Just added last year is the Washinton Nats, W00t!

I am not ashamed to be a Cubs fan or a Red Sox fan.
Sometimes, I am ashamed to be a Rockies fan, when it comes to the religion stuff. Judging from what I’ve heard, they probably think G and I should burn in hell for our beliefs.

I don’t see the problems in liking multiple sports teams. People who have problems with it, I understand, but as long as that person who likes those three teams in that particular sport has a profound knowledge on them, what’s the foul?
I’ve never had a chance to cheer on a hometown team. I’ve lived in Virginia my whole life, and the only sports organization that can be considered a “home team” to me is Virginia Tech athletics. I love the Rams and Dolphins in football (hooray for the two worst teams in the league!); in the NBA I have an affinity for the whole league but I grew up a Celtics fan, and was impressed by Tim Duncan’s (your favorite NBA player, too. Hint hint. Haha) ability at Wake Forest that I started following the Spurs. As for baseball, I’ve always been a Cardinals/Braves fan.
It’s sometimes particularly easy to say those folks that only have one team per sport to berate those that like more than one. Possibly because they may live in New York or Massachusetts, where they never have to worry about their team falling out of the news.
