'Cause it's root! root! root! for either team,
Whoever wins, it's the same,
When there's Yankees and Marlins fans
Going to the ballgame!


My husband is a Yankees fan; he's been one since birth. He was born in Manhattan, you see, and his dad is a Yankees fan and his dad is a Yankees fan...

My son is a Marlins fan. He doesn't quite understand team rivalries yet, and thinks that the Marlins are the *real* baseball team and other people come down to Pro Player Stadium to play them and then disapear again.

Our anniversary is this weekend and:
1. If my parents weren't traveling, we'd hop on a Jet Blue plane tomorrow and leave the kids at home and pay what it takes to get tickets from a scalper; and
2. We've now changed our plans for dinner tomorrow night, and are going out at 6 so we can be home in time to watch at least most of the game.

Hugs to all Cubs and Sox fans - I actually was vaguely rooting for those teams, and it's a little weird knowing that everyone in the country HATES US or at least our team, but to the rest of you, I say, "There's always next year!"

And to those outside the US and/or Canada... Sorry for boring you! :)

ROOT ROOT ROOT FOR THE MARLINS ALL THE WAY!!!!!!

Given the teams, I'm for the Marlins. I usually support the NL in the Series. Especially if the AL team is the Yankess. *sneer*

Go Astros!

I've picked up all sorts of odd bits and pieces of knowledge since getting my livejournal. Lately I've been learning quite a lot about baseball - or at least the names of the different teams - from my friends list.

I take it your team won an important match? *g*

You're right. I do hate the Yankees. Every year without fail I hate the Yankees.

Hee! I love the ways kids perceive the world.

--You know - for Yankees and NY - that's the same feeling I have - and probably why I don't say much of anything on LJ about it...

And HAVE A HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! >:D< :) *hugs*

Identifying with this as both a New Yorker and a Yankees fan is, I think, the reason why I love Ayn Rand's characters -- those who are despised for being exceptional -- so very much.

Happy anniversary.

My wedding anniversary is this Saturday so my anniversary will probably be spent much like yours. We got married on a day the Marlins were playing in the World Series the last time. Everyone kept sneaking off from dinner to watch that game. At least with this match-up, my family isn't torn like we were with the Marlins and the Cubs. This time around, it's all Marlins. Happy Anniversary to you and your husband!

Hey Happy Anniversary!
It would have really been cool to go to the game.

Since I expect you're going to be celebrating and watching the game this weekend, should we leave the mod stuff until Monday? I'm on YM.

I'm a die hard Marlins fan, and my father is a ferocious Braves fan . . . the 97 playoffs were an interesting time in our house!

Heh, nope! He still lives and dies by the Braves - he did learn to respect SOME members of the Marlins, though, thanks to my persuasion.

Happy anniversary!!!!

I haven't actively followed baseball for ages, but it's been interesting watching all the loyalties on my flist.

That's so cute!

Personally, I don't quite understand this baseball fever. But then, I was born/raised in Dallas, where the less said about baseball, the better. :p

*g* Your opening paragraph means a whole different thing to Aussies... For us it would make baseball interesting!
