Baseball fans: Do you watch baseball games that do not involve your team?

Question

When ur team has a day off do u bother to watch another teams game?

Answer 1

i do that all the time , just to see how other teams are doing  

Answer 2

Sometimes, if any team is on in the first place. Today, I was excited t osee Jeff Kersten's make his first start wit hte Pirates so I watched the Cubs game. And the Pirates are my second favorite team anyway.

Answer 3

Absolutely.  Especially if it's late in the season and things REALLY matter.

Answer 4

Every day of my life! I LOVE the game of baseball! It is the best sport on earth!

Answer 5

Always do.

Usually watch whatever's on FOX,TBS,and ESPN.

I live in Chicago so when the White Sox aren't playing I usually watch the Cubs and listen to my iPod.

Answer 6

All the time. I'll watch any game that is on tv.

Answer 7

Yes. I may not watch nine innings but I do watch other teams even when my team doesn't have a day off. I live far away from "my" team.  

Answer 8

I am a WHITE SOX FAN!

but

I watch games of other teams, preferably the Orioles (my 2nd favorite team!).

Answer 9

Sure, it's a great sport to watch and enjoy even if your team isn't playing.

Answer 10

yes. usually if i'm home i search for baseball games to watch. any baseball game is better than any regular tv show

Answer 11

Most of the time. I live in the Bay Area, so my two teams aren't exactly the most entertaining. I like to watch big marketing teams like the Angels and the Yankees. There is a reason why people love these teams, because they bring in entertaining players. You can't always get that here. Although, I don't have the mlb sports package, so it's difficult for me to watch every game.  

Answer 12

Dont have much of a choice. ESPN caters to Red Sox, so if not a Boston fan, you lose. FSN usually shows local teams which is cool. What I dont understand is, why WPIX in NY used to show Yankees games, and UPN, The Mets. I am in Texas now, and even when Astros or rangers are playing, its not televised. When Mets games are on I look for it on Cable on the NY station, and nothing, but you can be sure to find the Red Sox all over the place. What gets me also is, that with all The Rays have done thus far,a nd continually are under rated, and no recognition for their current success, no major network airs any of their games. Especially while being in division and Wild card hunt. No sense at all.

Answer 13

if it is an interesting game then i do watch it.

Answer 14

yea because i'm a baseball fan and I love baseball
