Your only reason for not liking the A's is that they beat the Giants in the World Series? Come on, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

Well, with all the people dying after Boston won the world series, and you go to school there, you could always join them.

Just join the bandwagon, and let the wagon take you wherever there is a winning team.

Atleast the Orioles have the same colors. And a better stadium. And Melvin Mora.

If I was a Giants fan I'd be looking for a new team too.

UngratefulDead · 12-13-2004, 10:55 PM

The Expos?

At least a team that doesn't exist doesn't sign Omar Vizquel to a three-year deal.

They never lose, though! How can you go wrong with that? Hell, an Expos can keep buying customized jerseys of players who don't exist. In fact, they could make up a name of a high school or college kid that doesn't exist, with potential that doesn't exist, and use a pick that doesn't exist to get him in a draft that doesn't exist!

I'm a Mets fan, so this is a good option for me. At least I can talk about how my pretend team isn't stupid enough to even consider guys like Sosa, Moises Alou, and Pedro Martinez when they should be rebuilding.

There might be something to this idea...

Sweeney29 · 12-14-2004, 03:53 AM

The Mets, rebuild? I think we're more likely to see Barry Bonds become a minister.

randomlefty10 · 12-14-2004, 12:18 PM

The Mets haven't been rebuilding? I don't pay much attention to the NL so I just assumed with all those crappy teams that they must have been rebuilding. My bad...

Better than the reason for not liking the Mets: "Uh, No."

I can think of a million better reasons to not like the Mets, and I'm a Mets fan.

Root for the Yankees. It's the anti-anti-bandwagon.

I think two antis is right, since rooting against the Yankee "bandwagon" has itself become a bandwagon.
