What is your favorite baseball team? Since I live in Houston, I have followed the Astros since '62, when they were the Colt 45's, and played outdoors. They have tugged my heart both good and bad. Got a few superstars though.

My favorite is the Tigers, although they haven't been a contender since '84 when I was a yearling. Being a Michigander I wouldn't have it any other way though.

Gosh Jake, the Phillies had been playing good ball until recently. I don't know how they did it, mirrors I guess, but now the Braves have slowly crept back into contention. The 'Stros need some pitching badly.

Nothing against the sport but baseball never really let a fire for me. I guess I couldn't find a place to put a motor in. I can watch racing (NHRA, NASCAR, CART, Rally, even Formula 1, etc.) all day long but I cannot watch a game of baseball (I get up and leave the room) to this day. Guess I missed a shift somewhere.

"Da Cubs", love the team, but hate the owners, every time they get a great player, they trade them off! I'm surprised they re-signed Sosa, I wonder how long this pitching staff will last? Cubs fans get kicked in the crotch, and keep on hoping.

I'm not saying that baseball is boring, but the last game I watched, Carl Yazstremski was still playing for the Red Sox. The Tigers beat them at Fenway.
