I'm across the bay from SF. I'm actually closer to Oakland.
I don't HATE Oakland teams. I just don't want them to win. But I have an extreme dislike of Raiders. They have arrogant fans...I mean, seriously. Who names themselves the Raider Nation?
I'm not aware of any big time rival for the A's, but the Giants' main rival are the Dodgers. We hate each other with a passion. Between the Giants and A's, though, it's just one of those friendly rivalries kinda thing. There's no hating or anything.

It's not Mariners, it's Marlins. Wrong side of the U.S. lol... DANGIT stupid Marlins eliminated the Giants I would be rooting for the Giants but nooooo. Last night I was rooting for the Red Sox. Good thing they beat the A's. I hate them. Boy that last strike was great! But now I'm rooting for the Marlins. I don't care about the Yankees or Red Sox (doesn't matter who wins...). I just don't want the stupid Cubs to get to the World Series. GRRRRR Braves shoulda won!!!!!!!! I watch football too, whenever I can. Niners all the way baby! Doesn't matter who wins? Your kidding right? If the Yankees win, whoever wins will have themselves one of the toughest World Series they've ever played. If the Sox win, it'll be an average challenge at first until the Sox bullpen collapses and it's an easy series from there on out. And the Niners suck:P. And beating the Raiders is no big acomplishment, they're terrible this year due to a loss of a great coach (Jon Gruden), and they have too many old guys.

Bears are my new favorite football team. They beat the Raiders Sunday WOOHOO!! [glow=navy,2,300]Sorry for flaming you in advance, but HOW CAN YOU CALL YOURSELF A SPORTSFAN? You pick a new favorite because they beat one team? You are calling them your favorite team without looking at the players, their style of play AND where they are located. According to your favorite team logic, this year you would already have three favorite teams, the Broncos, Titans and Bears. A real sports fan has teams that they like, but stick to their favorite teams like glue, going through the bad and the good.
IMO, the way you are picking your favorite teams shows that you are a mediocre sportsfan, a young sportsfan or not a sportsfan at all.[/glow]

I used to be a 49ers fan back in the Joe Montana/Steve Young/Jerry Rice/Tom Rathman days. I recently still liked them until they fired Mooch. I have absolutely no respect for Dennis Erikson (he's a Miami guy) and Owens needs to shut his mouth.
PS, Mark Prior's pitchin a win tonight baby! Mark my words....

Speaking of the young Cubs pitchers, I told my friends before the first series that the whole Atlanta/Chicago series' outcome would rely on if Wood can pitch long enough games (he has a tendacy to pitch 5-6 inning games). And look what happened. Wodd pitched a total of 15 and 1/3 innings in 2 games and they won the series.[/glow]

I may think the Red Sox suck at times, but I still stick by them all the time. Who saw the Colts/Tampa game? I didn't watch all of it, but I heard what they did... Isn't that crazy? 3 touchdowns in less than 4 minutes... Against one of the BEST defenses in history...

I didn't mean it that way...
Oh well. It's too late to correct what I said and I don't feel like explaining myself right now.
I only watched the beginning of the Colts-Bucs game cuz I had a lot of homework to do. They were leading 18-3 when I left though, and they end up losing... x.x
