I started this thread because I was very impressed how the Twins came from no where to win the division.
Oh, I know why you started the thread. I'm just perplexed with how you came to like the teams you like. You did have the Astros Sigtag here too back closer to 2005. Seriously, how did you come about those allegiances, I mean the Red Sox kind of makes sense, though aren't you on the southern side of Connecticut? The others I don't get.
For me, Cubs because I grew up in Chicago and loved the players the cubs had growing up in the 80's and 90's (Grace, Eckersly, Sandberg, Dawson, Maddux, Suttcliffe, Zimmer as manager). I also love the Yankees because when I moved to NYC I figured I could love whatever AL team I wanted since I hate the white sox, so why not love a team with an owner who was the opposite of the owners of the Cubs (i.e. an owner who wants to win and doesn't care if he has to spend his entire wealth to do it and doesn't care if he can still sell out the stadium with a losing team). Then, year to year I root for whatever other teams represent good baseball fundamentals, so long as they're not teams I hate thanks to my prior two allegiances (i.e. I will never cheer for the Red Sox, White Sox, Mets, Cardinals).
