NO ONE My favorite team is Yankees and dont want anyone else to achieve a ring on another team.
Craig Biggio
I am also a Yanks devotee, but isn't it time for the Cubs players to get a shot at a ring? How roughly Todd Helton from the Rockies. He is as good as any!
Carlos Beltran, I like him a lot when he played for the Royals and I firmly believe that if they could hold offered him the money he was wanting/deserving that he would own stayed in a KC uniform for at smallest a few more years.
Past many
Ernie Banks
Ron Santo
Ryne Sandburg
Present
Todd Helton
Craig Biggio
Currently, how almost Bonds. It won't happen but it'd be cool.
Past- Ty Cobb. Easily one of the greatest of adjectives time and never got a ring. I option I could've watched him play, ring or not. He played near so much intensity and played to win because he loved the game. He did doesn`t matter what he could to win and treated the opposing troop as the enemy.
departed - don mattingly as a player
present - don mattingly as a coach
I agree with beedubbz. Though Yanks are my favorite troop, Donny Baseball was such a great player on and past its sell-by date the field and he moved out the game until that time the Yanks went on a slash. It's a shame because he really deserved a ring to cap past its sell-by date his brilliant career.
As for a non-Yankee, there's nobody that doesn't own a ring that I really care to see attain a ring, but I think Bonds deserves one for his accolade.
I am a padres fan,..guys i approaching on other teams that havent won a ring are Craig Biggio, Mike Piazza and contained by the past i choice tony gwynn could have gotten one
Present-Alex Rodriguez
Past-Ted Williams. Maybe the greatest hitter ever and flew planes surrounded by WWII and Korea. It's a shame he never won a World Series. Maybe the Boston fans would hold treated him better when he played.
ernie banks he be nice
im a die hard red sox hanger-on
past
ted williams and the rest of the dream troop they deserved a ring one of the greatest red sox rosters ive seen them be paid
present
i think ichiro should take a ring the guys the greatest hitter currently (all-time is ted williams) friggin broke the MLB single season record for hits (you realize how f*cking strong that is?)
Present---Jim Thome
The guy is a class perform and has be as close as anyone in baseball minus winning it-a adjectives HOF who could possibly hit 700 HR by the time he is done.
Past---Travis Fryman
Another class act loved ones man who always acknowledged God come first in his existence. A leader and one of the true biddable guys of the game---not to mention a VERY UNDERRATED third baseman. A guy like him whould hold been strong to root against.
Craig Biggio - I've been a loyal Rangers supporter all of my go but Biggio has be my childhood hero since he came within the league 20 years ago. I'm 28 now and I still hold in the highest regard and respect the guy.
Past- Don Mattingly (even though he was on my fave team-NYY)
Present- Chase Utley
GO YANKEES!
Past: Tony Gwynn. He be dedicated to one squad, the Padres, even though the Padres weren't a champion ballclub. He didn't drop from team to squad every year for money. It is rare now to see players stay on one team for their entire art. He was a great player and be batting champ eight times. I congratulate players like him and it would hold been nice for him to win a World Series ring at one point in his trade. But he should get into the Hall of Fame, for sure.
Present: Ichiro. He's an amazing ballplayer. He perform well and doesn't enjoy a lot of drama surrounding him unlike other ballplayers (like A-Rod and Bonds). He did come close a few times when the Mariners made the playoffs, but I ruminate it would be justified for him to win a World Series ring to top off his outstanding trade.
What's the likelihood the Mets win the World Series this year?
Answers:
The current odds for the Mets is 5/7. They look sharp this year.
The probability are percisly 1/30 chance
pretty well brought-up but not as good as some other troop.
as good as any other squad ( exept the nationals )
Lower than the Sox :P
100%
Given their division, I'd voice their prospects of reaching the playoffs are very angelic, the first step to even thinking about a World Series. The Phillies dug themselves an hasty hole, the Braves cannot keep playing at such a illustrious level, Florida is still childlike and has no bullpen, while Washington, very well.THe question later is can they get through the playoffs to realize the World Series. With Milwaukee looking pretty strong and St. Louis and Houston lagging due to poor starts and lousy pitching, it looks the Brewers surrounded by the Central. The Dodgers would be the only troop to worry in the region of in the West. Any squad that can lineup three great starters in the playoffs beside the likes of Penny, Schmidt and Lowe is usually terribly tough to beat.
The Mets do enjoy decent pitching but really requirement to get decent before they can be considered as a legal contender. Glavine is not going to last forever, Pedro is at best a 5-6 inning, 75-80 pitch guy at this point. Wagner is a animal when he's on but he is known to enjoy the injury bug also.
Their offense is among the best in any league, especially now that Wright is hitting. Reyes is an real monster, while Delgado continues to just produce. I see them making a move to pick up any more bat, or perhaps giving Milledge a try. Lo Duca is not the answer at catcher, despite his .300 average. Cleveland is looking to move Victor Martinez due to his below average defense, and I assume that he would be an excellent pickup for the Mets. Plus, the Mets have within their farm system, precisely what the Indians wish...young pitching.
All contained by all, the Mets enjoy a very upright chance of making the NLCS. It will be a tough matchup next to the Dodgers, most likely, but they should be capable of pull it out as they own a better run-producing capability despite the difference surrounded by the top 3 starters. The question next becomes more or less the AL opponent. Boston, Detroit and LAA will credible win the divisions, with the Yanks pulling out the wildcard. The Halos should knock out the Yanks, (costing Torre his errand no less) while the Tigers eek past the Sox contained by 7 as Boston's lack of a bullpen get exposed. The Tigers then rhythm the Angels, setting up a NYM v DET series. We'll see a preview of that series in a few weeks during interleague play, so stay tuned!
Do you own a second squad that you root for?
Question:We all hold our favorite teams, but is their second squad that you sometimes root for (unless their playing your fav team). Mine would probably be the Oakland A's.
Answers:
I'm a Sox fan first and foremost.
In the AL, the other troop I pull for is the Devil Rays because
1. I revulsion the Yankees and Red Sox. I'm sick of the East Coast Bias that ESPN has contained by sports, especially baseball. Regardless of what other teams are doing, they focus on The Mets, Yanks and Red Sox.
2. I similar to the young talent that The D-Rays enjoy. Scott Kazmir, is a flamethrower who's going to put up some good trade numbers if he ever gets any back. Delmon Young, Carl Crawford, just an exciting group of up and coming players.
In the National League I pretty much verbs for the Cards. Because the team I disgust the most is none other than the whiny cubs. A squad who's following is the result of celebrities making it trendy to root for that miserable troop. Red and Blue pin stripes, they look ridiculous. Especially that ridiculous teddy carry logo. I pull for the Cards to keep hold of the Cubs down. I also pull for the Pirates because...resourcefully, I don't know. I just sorta resembling them. .
Houston Astros.because im from texas.
Rangers fan but approaching Red Sox also
Mine Is The St. Louis Cardinals. My Fav is the San Diego Padres
Mine is the A's to.
GO BUCS!!
Well, I was born surrounded by Anaheim so my number one if the Angles but I also root for the Dodgers.
favorite team is the atlanta braves. GO BRAVES
my 2nd fave is twins, no not b/c im a frontrunner but b/c i played next to them in a video team game in 2005 (when they didnt generate the playoffs)
I root for the Tigers.
My best friend since Pre-K is a Tiger fan and when the Twins aren't facing the Tigs, my vote are witht he Tigers.
I hold no second team, really--more of 1 and 1A. They are, surrounded by no particular command, the Yankees and the Mariners. The first team is the greatest ever, the second is in principal because I was born surrounded by Seattle, and still live in Washington.
im a huge jays lover but i also like to root for minasoda twins cuz of joe mauer and the canadian Justin morneu donno how to spell it LOL and win within playing the yankees or redsox they REALLY SUCK
I have a fav. squad: Atlanta Braves
And a AL team that I'm ok beside: Boston Red Sox
And I hate the Yankees.
Yankees for vivacity.
Red Sox fan and any troop playing against the Yankees.
Alright, I am the #1 Fan. lol jk. My other team is probably the Yankees
I'm a Royals adherent, but I guess I kinda root for the Mariners. Most of my family are Mariners fan.
Well I've always like the Blue Jays because they used to have Shannon Stewart,who for some sense I have other liked.So as long as the Blue Jays don't play the Indians I usally root for them although I don't really follow them too closely.
My favorite is the Yankees. My 2nd favorite is the Dodgers.
Baseball sux !!
I will cheer on any squad that beats the Yankees. I don't attention to detail what team it is.
My favorite squad is the Red Sox. I'm a home grown fan and own always loved them. My second favorite squad is the Cardinals. Great team. They won the WS ultimate year and happy for them. I hope them and the Sox gather round in the WS.
Cardinals
I'm from the D.C. nouns so natually I like the O's who be their first and the Nats because they're the new squad but other than that because I remember when I go on a vacation I saw a Cards team game at Old Busch stadium right after Kline and Buck died, Edgar Renteria hit a walk-off grandslam in that hobby and since then the Cards hold been the other squad I root for
I love every sport team! After working for EA Sports, it did not concern what my allegiance was for the SF 49ers and Giants. We'd hold Vince Carter, Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, Robert Horry, Manny Ramirez and various other sports data that after meeting them, I considered them adjectives my favorites!
I also love the Cardinals, Reds, Yankees, Bulls, Knicks, Heat and Bengals!
METS NUMBER 1 THEN RED SOX CUZ I DON"T LIKE YANKEES!!!
Well, I chose one from the AL and the NL and hope they will be the teams surrounded by the world series. I love the White Sox and my second would be the Colorado Rockies.
Absolutely not. Since Ima die hard adherent of the Yankees, I hate most other team, 4 1 reason or another.
In baseball no, not reall, here is no other team to root for than the Cards!... In Hockey Im for the Blues but if the Avalanch are playing I root for them unless they play the Blues. In Football I dont close to the Rams and would like to see the Bengals win.
Either the Chicago White Sox or the Atlanta Braves.
Who have done worst?
Question:The Yankees pitching staff or Carlos Zambrano. Both were indisputable bad today again.
Answers:
I would hold to Say Zambrano because he is supposed to be the ace of that staff and had he pitched to his capability the Cubs would be in better shape.
I have an idea that Zambrano is over weight and requirements to shed some pounds off of that 255 pound frame to be a more forceful pitcher.
no doubt yankees pitching staff . near cstarters average like 5 innings a activity there bullpen surrounded by worn out n mariano rivera sucks
yankees pitching staff.
Zambrano
Wang is way better
Zambrano. No one on the Yankees claimed they be going to win the Cy Young. This head armour did!
I wonder if Zambrano is trying to pitch through an injury, trying to hide it. I can just believe this is the same guy.
