What happens when they try to register?

I think the auto-registering feature is turned off because of all the spammers. If you can IM me the user names they want to use, and their e-mail addresses, I can probably get them set up.

Never lived IN New York or anywhere east of the Mississip', so I don't know what the hell it's like to be with the one you love. But when I lived in PHX, adopting the D-backs was never even a thought, and living in the LA area for 12 or 13 years, I never once thought about picking up a mistress, AL or otherwise. I follow the Dodgers more than the Angels because 1) I hate the Angels, 2) Dodgers are NL, and 3) my bro and friends are huge Dodgers peeps. But liking and following ain't the same cut of beef.

All the Phoenix peeps I knew who adopted the Snakes didn't care for baseball one way or the other, had no team they loved up til then, and/or really loved wearing purple, all sizable personality defects, sez me.

A bunch of Annie Savoys.

Automatically flinching when there are girls around and mistrustful of anyone who doesn't love our team.

The internal mechanism behind this board is a dead ringer for my ten-year-old self.

Yeah, that guy is a pig.

People that change personal MLB allegiances may not be real baseball fans

This is exactly what happened with me and the Red Sox becoming my second favorite team.

The Mets-Nats communication channels are crystal clear. The Nats Blog got a world exclusive with Faith and Fear on their current opponent, the Mets here. Interestingly, per the flexible allegiances of the Nats chix, the father of the Nats blogger is a Mets fan.

I know second-generation San Francisco Giants fans who've lived in the New York area all their lives. Their fathers stuck with the Giants after they headed west and it remained the family business.

The local media tried to keep the flame alive. For about two years, Les Keiter would recreate SF day games, complete with tapes of crowd noises), to the NY audience on radio.
And Channel 13 (then still a commercial station) showed weekend LA and SF road games from Philly and, IIRC, St. Louis.

I watched and listened, rooting for those teams to lose every game.

This woman is blogging about the Mets or rather her efforts to become a Mets fan: Rookie Mets Fan.

Least sexy innuendo since "filing jointly."

I don't know about you guys and the librarians.

As have I.

This blog is gold

Also�and I�m sure this is rare among sports fans�I feel silly cheering when they tell you to. Like when they flash �Let�s Go Mets� onscreen? It makes me feel like Pavlov�s dog�like a sunburned, $7.75 Bud Light-drinking dog, being fucked in the ass by ALBA BOTANICA SUNSCREEN and KOZY SHACK, THE OFFICIAL PUDDING OF THE NEW YORK METS! But I like the game, I swear.

[A Boy Named Seo]

That's great stuff. I'm on her myspace page right now rocking the tunes. Myspace, I said!

[TransMonk]

Love the avater, Seo!

[A Boy Named Seo]

it's groovy as shit, huh?

I like her for the articles, too!

(Seriously, it's funny. I could check in on this from time to time.)

[TransMonk]

Got my code...I'm downloading it and listening tonight before the game for luck.

If you can endeavor to become a Mets fan, as an adult, in a season shaping like this, well, congratulations, I guess.

She's buying low. It's a savvy team-investment choice. (The Pirates or Orioles would probably be savvier choices, but still...)

Talk about your penny stocks.

[A Boy Named Seo]

She's now looking for solicitations on baseball books (go plug your shit, guys) and contemplating a Mr. Met tattoo.

I'd ask that chick's dad for permission to marry her.

Ah, shit, I'm busted.
