Every... goddamn... year I have to hear about those three teams ad infinitum. I root for the Red Sox but the force-feeding of them is what demoted them from my no. 1 team to my no. 2 team. What's even more excruciating is when one of those three teams <i>aren't</i> good and we have to get those awful "what's wrong" pieces.<br /><br />I also think that the national following is at least partially because of all the coverage those teams get.SHough610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7333991649672303972.post-56201633392397341792010-10-28T16:39:49.963-07:002010-10-28T16:39:49.963-07:00Gotta throw the Cubs in there, too.

It's not like we have Tampa playing Atlanta here, these are two big market teams, and San Francisco has passionate, knowledgable fans and a lot of history. If people don't want to watch this it's the MLB's fault for only promoting the Yankees, Red Sox, Cardinals, Mets, Dodgers, and Phillies.SHough610noreply@blogger.com
