When I started typing this entry, I had the Giants-Padres game on in the other room.
I'm not a Giants fan.
I'm not a Padres fan.
I don't live in San Francisco, or San Diego, or even in California.
I'm watching it just because it's baseball.
This provides an excuse for explaining how I decide which team to root for in any particular MLB game.

- Seattle Mariners (my old hometown team)
- Cleveland Indians (
hr_macgirl's old hometown team)
- Boston Red Sox (the local gang; remember, I moved here in 1986)
- Tampa Bay Devil Rays (for Lou Piniella; besides, they could use the help)
- team that isn't the Yankees, if the Yankees are involved
- whichever team has more of my favorite players who used to be on one of the top 3
- whichever team will help one of the top 3 in the standings by winning
- team with the best player names (you gotta root for anyone stuck with the name "Milton Bradley", for example)
