According to Yahoo, these are the most searched teams on the net:<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>1. New York Yankees 2. Chicago Cubs 3. Detroit Tigers 4. Atlanta Braves 5. Los Angeles Dodgers 6. Boston Red Sox 7. Texas Rangers 8. Houston Astros 9. Cincinnati Reds 10. Cleveland Indians 11. Milwaukee Brewers 12. Philadelphia Phillies 13. Pittsburgh Pirates 14. St. Louis Cardinals 15. Seattle Mariners 16. New York Mets 17. San Diego Padres 18. Baltimore Orioles 19. Chicago White Sox 20. San Francisco Giants 21. Kansas City Royals 22. Colorado Rockies 23. Arizona Diamondbacks 24. Los Angeles Angels 25. Florida Marlins 26. Tampa Bay Devil Rays 27. Toronto Blue Jays 28. Oakland A's 29. Minnesota Twins 30. Washington Nationals</div>The one that most surprises me is the LA Angels. I mean, not only are they in LA, but they have the talent to make a run for it.The Twins don't surprise me. I would have guessed them at 20-25, but they just aren't that interesting. And that's what this is all about, after all. Who is the most interesting.
I'm kinda suprised that the Pirates are all the way u to 13. I was expecting them t be somewhere after 20.
Since when does doing a web search on a team make you a fan of them? I've searched teams like the Atlanta Braves to make an arguement on something before, but you are kidding yourself if you think they're one of the 4 most popular teams when they can't even sell out their own playoff games.

I find it funny the White Sox are 19, and the Cubs are 2. Just goes to show how lame Sox fans are. They care more about the Cubs than their own team. And Vilma, when the Braves sell out their playoff games, Turner Field becomes Wrigley Field South

They spent so much money this offseason, everyone is interested in how they will do.The Sox have nothing new going on.

And the Red Sox were 2nd... and I THINK the Giants were third, but I'm not sure on that one. I know the Yanks BoSox were 1-2 though.

But close enough.
Yay for 29! I don't curr if we're "boring" to people. Winning division after division when we're expected to be in the bottom is good enough for me.
