    Top 20 teams no one cares about

    Surprised that the Kansas City Royals or Pittsburgh Pirates were not on the list. KC last won the Series in '85, never made the playoffs or gained much recognition since. Remember when they were contenders back in'03 and a critical division matchup between them and the White Sox didn't get...

    Priority of teams in your city/region

    A lot of my relatives live in Arizona (Phoenix and Tucson), and I get the sense that their preferences are.... 1. Suns In large part because they were the state's first big pro sports franchise and a history of success 2. D'Backs Probably the quickest expansion team in any sport to achieve what...

    Probably higher, since USC football is the de-facto NFL team in LA without the Rams and Raiders. Yeah, but if they keep their starting rotation together: Lince, Cain, Sanchez, Zito if he didn't suck, than they have a brighter future. Call be biased, but I'm a Giants fan. Don't really follow...

    I'm a California native, born and raised in both Northern and Southern Cal.... SF 1. Giants AT&T Park has made all the difference. 2. Niners Used to be #1 by far, but ownership change and threat to move to Santa Clara have changed things. EAST BAY 1. Raiders 2. A's 3. Warriors LA 1. Lakers...

    Who do you consider the worst draft picks in any sport ever?

    Its a tough pick between Leaf and Bowie. Although Bowie just has the stigma of being chosen over His Airness. It just didn't work out for Leaf in the NFL.
