ron washington deserves a championship, thats all i care about

I'm just curious sevin0sevin, how do you root for cross town teams... You are a Warriors fan and Giants fan, how is that possible? I'm assuming if Frisco got a basketball franchise through relocation or expansion you would root for them? I'm also curious which football team you root for since I have an interest in the Raiders being that I grew up partially in LA when they were briefly playing there..

I root for both the Cubs and White Sox. Why not? They only play each other six times a year. I don't see why that should invoke hatred.

I'm not totally against it, but it just seems odd to me... I personally could never root for Ohio State being a Michigan fan.. And I also hate the Indians, Twins and White Sox being a die hard Tigers fan, same with the Red Wings and me hating the Avalanche and Penguins..

There's a difference there. You face the same team a lot more, and you directly compete with them.

I hate the Cardinals, Astros, Twins, Tigers, Red Wings, Canucks, Pistons, Michigan, Ohio St., and Minnesota, being a fan of the Chicago teams and the University of Iowa.

I know I've said before that I don't really care if the Rangers win or lose, I'm just happy they finally made it to the World Series.

Stuff that, I NEED A WIN!

Wilson will beat Cain in Game 2. Calling it.

actually i'm an "NBA fan" that root for the hometown team Warriors. just like in the finals last year many people think i would root for the Lakers (because their in cali), but i rooted for the Celtics instead? why? because i thought the Celtics was the better team. i'm not one of those people that hates other team just because, i analyzed all teams. that's just the way i am. the same thing goes for both MLB and NFL. A's and Giants are both my team and Raiders and 49ers are the same because i live in the bay area. if i were to move to TX, then the Rangers will be my team, but it doesn't mean i can't root for other cities.. I'm just a fan of the game.

Regardless, when a fan roots for a hometown team, they root against their rivals... The Raiders and 49ers are bay area rivals, even though they are in separate conferences.. Most fans I know have certain allegiances and rivals.. I rarely see fans that are impartial to every team but I have no problems with it either.. If you are a fan of sports, that's fine but I think it's actually worthwhile to be devoted and a die hard for your local team... A previous poster said that you live with the good and the bad, and when your team finally gets to the mountain top, it feels that much better.. That's the way I see it atleast.. Like take Michigan, they are doing awful thanks to their moron coach Dick Rod, but I still root for them regardless... I'm not going to turn around and root for Michigan State or Oregon because they are undefeated, but I do appreciate the fact that there are great CFB teams out there competing for the BCS championship..

I was listening to the game on my way home. I was getting a bit nervous at the top of the 9th, but Wilson pulled it off. GO GIANTS!
