As a Braves fan, there are five teams I cannot ever pull for (unless it helps the Braves, of course) 1. Nationals 2. Phillies 3. Mets 4. Yankees 5. Dodgers (from the early 80's days when we were West division rivals) That's my list too, and the Cubs and Angels as well. The Angels because I dislike any of the teams that have the outrageous payrolls......although it is funny to laugh at them when they finish 15 games out of first place.

I pretty much agree with that same list from top to bottom.
What's great is I hated the Phillies with the burning passion of a thousand suns long before we even moved to the East.

Never had a problem with either the Cubs or Angels. Grew up watching the Cubs on WGN and enjoyed guys like Sandberg, Durham, Sutcliffe, etc.

You have to understand that Uckery has a problem with bunny rabbits and rainbow colored unicorns bringing free candy.

Grew up watching the Cubs on WGN and enjoyed guys like Sandberg, Durham, Sutcliffe, etc. Grrrrrrr.....I lived 15 minutes from the ballpark in St. Louis for six years when I was a kid, rooting for the Cardinals then, so I’ve hated the Cubs forever. I was a huge Whitey Herzog fan and his whitey ball, they had a ton of speed and were aggressive like we are now, it was fun to watch. I moved back to NC in 1983, by 1988 all the players were gone that I liked and Whitey was gone, so I stopped caring. Just rooted for the Braves again and been hooked ever since.

UP NEXT: Blue Jays: After a day off Monday, the Blue Jays begin a two-game series at Atlanta on Tuesday. RHP Marcus Stroman (1-6, 6.50) starts for Toronto against Braves RHP Julio Teheran (6-6, 4.47). Stroman lost to the Mets last Wednesday, allowing six runs and six hits in 4 2/3 innings. Braves: After an off day, Atlanta begins a two-game series at home against Toronto. Right-hander Julio Teheran (6-6, 4.47 ERA) starts for the Braves, opposed by Marcus Stroman (1-6, 6.50 ERA). Teheran is 2-5 with 4.89 ERA in his last seven starts. Stroman will probably pitch like Koufax and Julio will pitch like Julio. Already, he took almost 30 pitches to get out of the first inning. Let's hope for the rare dominant Julio because with Julio, all you can do is hope.

alright, alright I thought you would be happy I grew up cheering for an American team over the Jay's but it's obviously a little more complicated than that. I did see my warning level went down today as well as my title being switched to Warrior Princess and I'm just so happy about that I don't feel like arguing. I am wrong, I apologize to the bored for my comments and for being Canadian in general. I just hope we can move on here. Apology accepted. Now sing the Canadian National Anthem, "I'm Sorry" by John Denver.
