I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, so my favorite teams are in that area!

MLB: San Francisco Giants
NHL: San Jose Sharks
NFL: San Francisco 49ers (I know, they’re not great or anything)

I really don’t like the Oakland As or Oakland Raiders. I’m a San Francisco girl, I love when there is a Battle of the Bay games SF vs Oakland for Baseball or Football.

#4

Oh I love the Giants. I was so happy when they won the world series. My favorite player in the Giants is Brian Wilson. I love his little celebration when he gets a save.

#5

I was happy two, But was also rooting for Texas. Cards almost made the playoffs but flopped near the last few weeks.

#6

This new MLB season is gonna be a real good one. i can’t wait for it. I hope the cards can make the playoffs w/o Wainwright.

#7

I’ll say right now I dont really care for or watch any sports regularly except for the Olympics…I love the Olympics…but I do like some specific teams-

MLB- Cleveland Indians, Chicago Cubs, New York Mets
NFL- New York Jets, Chicago Bears

There’s only one team I can say I dont like and thats the Yankees…Sorry, I know they’re popular but not with me.

Favorite player? Omar Visquel, former shortstop for the Indians

NBA: Cleveland Cavaliers
NCAA: Ohio State
NFL: You’d guess the Cleveland Browns, but, NO!, the Pittsburgh Steelers are my favorite team. pull rug out from under your feet
NHL: Pittsburgh Penguins

#10

Pretty good list. You had me surprised when you said your favorite NFL team was the Steeelers. I was surprised. but then again, the steelers have a pretty big fan base.

#11

I’m pretty much a Cleveland fan all-around. Cool to see it well-represented here.

#12

Please don’t take this as an offense, but it must hard to be a Cleveland sports fan this year huh?

#13

The Indians have been a nice anesthetic lately.

#14

When was the last time Cleveland won championchip. You know, SuperBowl, World Series, etc.

#15

They really are. As of now, they’re on top of the American League. Let’s see if they can keep it consistant the whole season.

#16

The Browns in 1964. I’d die happy if I just witnessed one championship from any of the teams.

#17

TSS- Its interesting I like Visquel? Is that good? :wink: See, he homered the first time I ever saw him play and I always thought he was a bit of cutie :smiley: I met him twice and he’s a nice guy.

What I find interesting is the Cleveland sports talk currently happening here! :slight_smile: The last time the Indians won the World Series was 1948…and I think when the Cavs were in the playoffs a few years ago was the first time they ever got that far. (I could be wrong about that one, I dont follow the Cavs much) I think in Cleveland you just learn to live with disappointment :stuck_out_tongue:

#18

Amen to that. THis is why it is so hard to be a fan of one particular team because people tend to abandon them when they start to lose. Only the true fans stay. And when they win a national title, the true fans not only celebrate, they cry. Trust me, I’ve witnessed it.

My city has never won a big time national championship. I’m young, so I still have my whole life ahead of me. But there were times when my team came so close… so close, but it slipped away. It is very disappointing.

#19

Wow. When it come’s to Hockey, I know how you fell. the Blue’s have been around since 1967 and never won the Stanley Cup, but the fans still come to watch them.

#20

I’m from San Diego, meaning we’ve got the Chargers and the padres. Both teams have never won a championship. but every year, I hope that it’s our time.
