I always liked how much it infuriated baseball fans everywhere when a Canadian team won back-to-back championships in the American pastime.
How can anyone hate manchild Joe Carter?

That was 22 years ago and they haven't even been back to the playoffs since (underdog factor).
They always end up right around .500 -- not good enough for the playoffs, not bad enough to rebuild.



Plus they have one of only two remaining knuckleball pitchers left in the entire league.

Expos were dope and should have never left Montreal. It's like having a team in Vermont.

The Rangers because watching Jon Daniels wrangle with the dumb rear end retard fans, busted talent, and retarded coked up managers is good drama, and they're a bad team again so there's comedy on the field

Poor Rangers. Should have had a world series or maybe even two. Instead, goodbye, see you in two decades.

Pick the Astros. They are going to be sorry this year but will get good next year or the year after at the latest. You will still be able to say that you liked the Astros back when they were bad if you jump in now. Also great unis; especially the retro ones.

I say you should root for the Mariners. They're the least exciting team in the AL West. Also, their old logo is a trident.

If it's good enough for Brick Ramland, it's good enough for you.

Literally should go down in baseball history as one of the most tragic plays.

It's up there with the ball between Buckner's legs, but it doesn't get nearly the same coverage for some reason - oh yeah, it's the Rangers.

I live in New Orleans, so there's no local team. I've got it narrowed down to either the Astros, the Brewers, the Blue Jays, or the White Sox unless someone can give me a compelling argument.

Let me help you. There is only one team to root for, and that is

LOS DOYERS
