College Football: Penn State
College BBall: Syracuse
NBA: Denver
NHL: Avalanche

So I'm pretty much in the same boat as you. I don't consider someone liking teams from all over bandwagon fans. Every team that I'm a fan of, I've been a fan of my entire life. A lot of it has to do with it being the same teams my dad rooted for and games he took me to.

I'm going to the Yankees-Rangers game down in Texas on Wednesday! I can't wait! Yankees have been hot lately. Hopefully they can keep it going.

Yea, I LMAO when people online say I'm a bandwagon fan. Funny shit.
I've been to numerous games for every team that I like.

Its funny how MB is a Royals fan, yet he likes all Denver teams. Does that make him a bandwagon fan?
I'm a Yankees fan and like all other Denver teams and I'm a bandwagon fan so I guess he must be also.

Hell, I've been to games behind home plate for 280 bucks before. I've been to many games at Yankee stadium, My dad has been to many games at Yankee stadium... my whole family has been to many games at Yankee stadium...
Then I got in to other sports when I lived in Wyoming. The Rockies wern't around when I was born And I've been a Yankees fan longer then the Rockies have been around.

I guess I shoudl just STOP being a Yankees fan and root for the Rockies.
That'd make me less of a bandwagon fan. ROFL.

Hell, I even have baby pictures of me in Yankees gear. .. But people who know me, Know that I'm not a bandwagon fan.

I definitely here ya on that one IM7. I have lived in many places, and my teams vary. My list goes something like this.

NFL: Denver
MLB: Cardinals
College Football: Notre Dame
College BBall: Mizzou
NBA: Nuggets
NHL: Avalanche

I lived in Denver for 17 years, so a few of my teams are definitely homer picks. I was a Cardinals fan before there were the Rocks, and I can't stray from that. Same with Mizzou, I have a couple cousins that graduated from there, so it is someone I rooted for in College B-Ball. Notre Dame was my dream school when I was growing up, and if it didn't cost so damn much for tuition, I would have gone there. It's not even close to bandwagon status on any of them.

Yankees-Rangers game was awesome! Had great seats. 4 rows from the field on the 3rd base side. Yanks hit 4 home runs (Tex 1, Cano 1, Matsui 2) A.J. Burnett pitched 6 shutout innings. Then Veras came in and gave up a 2 run homer to Kinsler. Yanks brought in Wang for 8th and 9th. He struck out 2 and allowed 0 hits. Awesome game to go to if you're a Yankees fan. I loved it. It was totally worth the 5 hour drive from Tulsa!

8-1, 1.10 ERA, 88 Ks, 12 BBs...

Can anyone tell me who's numbers those are?

Isn't that the Greinke kid for the Royals, he is playing amazing this year!

Yesterday wasn't his best performance, but he's still sitting at 1.10. Fun to watch. Right now, that's all the Royals have going for them, and then the bullpen still gave up the damn game.

Bob Gibson's 1968, 1.12 ERA is the best modern-day season ERA. I don't expect Zack to get anywhere near that, but that's the modern-day record.

Tim Keefe in 1880 had a 0.86 ERA, Dutch Leonard had a 0.96 ERA and Mordecai Brown had a 1.04 in 1906.

Past 1920, the next lowest ERA was Dwight Gooden's 1.52 in 1985.

For some reason, Greinke has gotten away from his changeup, and he's trying to strike people out with the hard slider (which is working, but it wasn't working as well Sunday), and then in the end of the fifth, he started mixing in the change, then he sent down seven straight Sox, and struck out two between the end of the fifth through the seventh. But by then, his pitch count was too high to let him continue and the bullpen blew it from there.

I wanted to get Greinke on my fantasy team. Instead I got Meche.
Though everyones stats look horrible to Greinke's this year. Its funny how like 10,000 more people go to the games when he pitches just to watch him pitch.

10? Try 20.

I think they sold out his last two weekend starts at the K.

Well, I knew it was 10 or 20 or something like that. I knew it was a lot of people. They sold that many tickets on the day of every game he starts.

Its cool that he overcame his disorder and is a leading candidate for Cy Young.

He's an interesting cat. You should hear his interviews...they are funny at times. They force reporters to ask smart questions...kind of funny, really.

He's a great story, but eventually he's going to need help from his team and wont get it. Pretty sad for him, but I'll stick with Halladay for my CY candidate from the AL
