Lets hear it! Which teams are being represented here?

I would've proudly proclaimed the love I have for my Raptors last year.. but after this post-season debacle I am hurting pretty bad  :-[

What teams/sports are you guys into? !

Don't follow much in sports but I like watching golf and the NFL. Since the games are mostly on a Sunday I don't get to watch all that much.

Roughriders. But maybe not for much longer.

Would've expected more Hockey and Basketball based on most users locations

Basketball is big around the GTA now, but the Jays have indeed had a resurgence as well.

Nice bait :)...but you have to admit the team is doing all they can getting the right players. We'll see if it results in a postseason apperance.

No bait. Generally when a team tries to make a run they are close to or leading the division. Or are easily going to have a shot at a wild card. Toronto is neither of those. At the trade deadline they were only a .500 team! The only thing they have going for them is a good run differential. But as you can see in their record it doesn't always translate into a winning team.

hockey... been an oilers fan since i was about 8... going to the ti-cats game tonight... jays (making a run for it!)...

i cheer for the raptors, but not really a fan of basketball in general... was a saints fan growing up, but now i just cheer for the games/situations/players with nfl... soccer i can't say i'm a fan at all, though i hope the tfc does well...

then non-team sports, i'm a fan of all the big tennis pros at the moment (the guys)... womens side... meh... bouchard is alright, but i find most of the women not as fun to cheer for. (ok to look at though)... golf, been enjoying that tiger has finally fallen (though he is probably the best there ever was) as i was getting a bit tired of the tiger show...

basically love all sports.
i used to be addicted to soap, but i'm clean now

 :( don't ruin it with all the facts. They do have a legitimate shot. Amazing offence, they just need to improve a bit in the pitching department. Plus plenty of games left and their division is not exactly outstanding. We shall see though.

Price, 11k for the win tonight, there is hope. Now pray for the bullpen!

Hockey: Moncton Wildcats (QMJHL) - I really only like watching live games, so this is my local team.  I usually get to about 25 to 30 of the 34 home games.

Baseball: Boston Red Sox - I usually catch a few innings each night, usually the audio feed, depending on the start time.  I like baseball because I can listen to it while doing other things.

Weekend-only sports like football are a non-starter for me, with a young family I don't have the time (or the desire) to lounge in front of the television for hours on end.
