Sports Talk

Yea, or volleyball. The Poles are not that good at soccer. Hehe... Anyways, you are a Dodgers fan in Tucson?? I thought you might like the Diamondbacks??

Born and raised in Los Angeles. Grew up going to Dodger games!

Meh, my dad is still recovering from NDLS playoffs. I guess you don't like the Giants??

I hate those guys! But I'm supposed to, right? I know how your Dad feels. I used to be really bad about being depressed when LA lost, but as I've gotten older, I've chilled out about that. I came close to throwing a brick through the television when those lousy Yankees used to beat up on my Dodgers!

Sorry, I don't really watch hockey, but rivalries are common in baseball also. For example, the New York Yankees (whom I also dislike) and The Boston Red Sox are big rivals.

I sure know about the rivalry between the Yankees and the Red Sox! I live about halfway between Boston and New York, and here you either see people wearing Yankee's jersey's or Red Sox jersey's. I have cousins who live just outside Boston, and they are HUGE Red Sox fans. One of my horses is named Yankee, and they hardly let me mention his name in their house because they think I'm talking about the rival baseball team.

That's a wicked rivalry! I was happy for Boston this year!

I feel your pain. I was raised to hate the Yankees. We could have won more World Series's if haven't been for the stupid Yankees!       

I've never been able to decide which team I should cheer for. Though those Red Sox fan cousins of mine would probably say the Red Sox because I'm a Bruins fan... yet this year when the World Series was on tv, I watched part of it and was happy when the Sox were doing well.

I didn't really care. My grandparents are from Michigan, and the BOSOX played the Tigers for the championship. And I the Cardinals hate

I'm a lifelong baseball fan.  I follow the Detroit Tigers, because they're from my state.  Our big star is Miguel Cabrera.  He's much beloved by his teammates.  

Ain't love grand!

I also like Detroit, Rob. But I will always be a life-long Braves fan, no matter how many times they lose to the Yankees in the World Series!!!

 

How did you happen to become a Braves fan?

Hey, is that an insult!!!??? My dad was born and raised in Georgia. I'm naturally a Braves fan. The Tigers are the only AL team I like. It's a close between the Yankees and the Nationals for least favorite team.

Nope, no insult. I didn't realize you had a family connection to Georgia.  

How are you coping with the Tiger's loss in the ALDS??

After his therapy, Rob did fine!

Ha, haha, hahahahaha[rotf]      

Ah, there's always next year.  

I know the feeling!

Every year, the Braves are the best in the NL, then they lose the first game in the divisionals. Makes my dad and I mad. I can get really competitive when I want to. My mom hates when I yell at the TV when the umpire makes dumb calls. And your ear drums may pop if you sit next to me at a Braves game

So were you born in the States and are now living in Poland?

Yea, my dad works for the government. We always have a hectic life.

Oh! Exciting, though, I'll bet.

My Mom's parents came from Poland way back when.

And there's a monument in Warsaw to Prove it!
