Sounds like u should b a met fan. the reds dont win enuff and neither do the mets. But the mets usually contend so u got something to be hopeful 4 almost every season. (im a biased met fan) But u should really just follow the team that ur gut instinct tells u to follow whether they be winners, losers or are constantly toeing that line!

Well, I'd say the Marlins, being a fan myself.
What? Well, here's the thing, the Florida scouts are nothing short of remarkable. Every year it seems that there's some impressive class of rookies or 2nd/3rd year phenoms that are putting together a run that no one ever sees coming.
The style of play is usually one of solid defense and run production than of slamming home runs, which I think is a better brand of baseball. With a team like Florida, they always manage to be better than anyone expects (and hey, two World Championships in 15 years is a lot more than many other teams have amassed).
If you prefer the AL, but the above appeals to you, then look at the A's or the Twins, small-budget teams that always seems to be in the discussion come August and September.
If you'd rather have a more visible team, then look to the AL central. The Tigers, the Indians the Twins, and (despite their awful season in '07) the White Sox are all quality teams with talent, visibility, and exposure.
If you like NL baseball, but not the obscurity of the Marlins, look at the NL West. The D'Backs, Padres and even the (*shudder*) Dodgers have significantly picked up the level of game they play. The NL west has the best total winning percentage of any division in baseball.
My advice: Marlins, Twins, As, Tigers, and stay away from the AL East, because every years it's the YANKS and the SOX.....

You should like the Cleveland Indians. They are a solid team that is getting even better. They have a young team with a lot of "pop". They have also been called the team with the best fans by many people and groups.
Right now, they are in an exciting race with the Detroit Tigers and they switch from 1st to 2nd about every week. Cleveland is far from winning ever game but even farther from losing every game.

Dude stay an Angels fan, I am a Cubs fan but the Angels didnt move to LA. They are the LA Angels of Anaheim because the owner wanted LA in the name but they play in Anaheim at Edison Field. Nothing changed but some words added to the location. They have some good talent and are a good team to cheer for. Jumping on someones bandwagon now just calls for someone to say your not a true fan. Angels are solid.

Why don't you still like the Angels? They moved to LA from Anaheim.....like 25min or whatever....away. Not a very loyal fan.
No team is going to win every game, seasons' too damn long for that, as for losing every game.....damn kansas city and the devil rays are the ones for that.
But if you are in California, try the dodgers. Very good pitching, but not alot of power at the plate. But they have good team chemistry and they are doing well.

The team that never loses. The team that never breaks your heart. The team that always wins the World Series. Whenever I complained about sports my mother used to tell me to try opera. That's even worse than rooting for the Tigers!

You'd be a good Dodgers fan. The Dodgers is one of the most storied franchise in major league baseball and it is based in the second largest baseball market in the U.S. They are also among the winningest teams and currently has the best record in the National League.
BTW, the Angels did not move to LA. They hated the name Anaheim Angels saying it had no catch to it, so they changed it to Los Angeles Angels while remaining in the city of Anaheim. I think there is a pending lawsuit filed by the city of Anaheim to try to return to their old name.

First of all, the Angels didn't move, they just changed their name to Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
Why not see who' s going to be in running for the wild card and jump on that bandwagon. Then stick with them no matter what and become a true fan.

ok it sounds like u like .500 baseball teams. .500 baseball teams have a very and i mean very slight chance to win their division. if i were u stay away from the reds(to much disappointment). the angels are good and will probably win the division. but my advice rasie your standards a little and you should expect more out of watever team u like. i have never heard that b4 "but i like teams that dont win every single game, but dont lose every game." WOW
