1. Toronto Blue Jays (born and raised)
   
2. Cinncinati Reds (Eric Davis was a fav of mine)
   
3. Chicago White Sox (frank thomas is one of my all time fav players.)

1. Yankees (I need to explain?)
   
2. Mets (for trying to be like the Yankees)
   
3. Giants (well you know)

Other teams I like

1. St. Louis (lived there for six years)
   
2. Twins (don't know why, just do)
   
3. Orioles

1)Giants
2)Red Sox (fans more annoying than any other team)
3)Rangers (all seem like a**holes)

As for the Yankess, I don't follow them, but I've never jumped on the hatewagon. They aren't as annoying as RS fans, they love their team---if they want to spend money, I don't care.

1. Florida Marlins (D-train is making me like like a genius in fantasy baseball, so is Miguel Cabrera. Likeable players (atleast to me) like Delgado, Conine, Pierre, Lo Duca, etc.)
2. Minnesota Twins (Pretty similiar small market team like the A's, Torii Hunter is a sick-ass player as well)
3. Every team in the NL West exluding San Fransisco  (gotta love when those guys from SF lose)

1. Yankees/Red Sox: Their payrolls, east coast bias, stupid selfish fans, playoff series against Oakland, etc. etc. etc.
2. Angels: Fans are idiots (literally), thundersticks (do they still have those), rally monkey (what does a monkey have to do with Angels?), the name change ( The Los Angelos Angels of Orange County of Southern California of California of America of Anaheim.
3. Teams that beat the A's: Basically almost every team they have played this year since they struggled alot in the beginning of the year ( Oh yeah except those MLB "best" white sox.)

1. Marlins
   
2. Braves
   
3. Any team playing the giants, angels, yankees, or Rangers
1. Yankees
   
2. Giants
   
3. Angles (behind giants becuase we have to suffer through seeing them all the time on tv at the expense of the A's)

But from a Wishing The Organization Ill standpoint, my politics and my baseball let me hate on the Rangers and Brewers without any issues. With Monaghan no longer owning the Tigers, Huzienga out on the Marlins, and Murdoch done with the Dodgers, the hate is getting more concentrated.

Like list:
1 Mariners (Iciro + mother in law's team)
2 Giants (insanity)
3 Need more.

Hate List
1 Yank / BoSx (Stienbrenner and jerky fans)
2 Angles (Lousy Thundersticks.)
3 Dodgers. (I live in SF, you just have to)

1. Toronto - The only Canadian team left.
2. Boston - We both hate the Yankees.
3. Dodgers - Always liked them and then they went and hired DePo.

1. Yankees - As a fan of the Athletics you gotta hate them and their huge payroll.
2. Giants - Has more to do with Bonds then with the rivalry.
3. Baltimore - No other team came to mind.

1.  Dodgers (a tepid, residual affection, strictly because I grew up in LA)
   
2.  the post-Pierzynski Twins (for the reasons stated above, i.e., small-market team, etc.)
   
3.  UCLA softball team

1.  Angels (the loathesomeness of the Angels and their newfound "fans" has been much discussed on AN, so no need to explain; also, the Pearly Gates blog)
   
2.  Red Sox (see 1)
   
3.  Rangers

1. Tamapa Bay
   
2. Pittsburgh
   
3. Milwaukee

1. Yankees
   
2. White Sox ( I still hate Bobby Thigpen and Hawk)
   
3.  Anyone playing the A's

My top three hated teams:

1. Red Sox (I live in Boston)
   
2. Angels
   
3. Giants

1)AAA Pawtucket Red Sox (I am in RI)
2)Blue Jays (always partial to Canadians)
3)Only NL team I'm familiar with (TBS)

3 most hated

1 Yankees
2 Mets
3 Angels

1. Whoever is playing the Giants, my signature line.
   
2. The Twins, fellow small market overachievers.
   
3. The Blue Jays
   

Three I won't cross the street to see.

1. The Giants
   
2. Whoever Bond's DH's for next year
   
3. Tampa Bay, AAA talent and sweet Lou is an ass.
   

1. Eugene Emeralds (My local team, single-A affiliate for the Padres)
   
2. Cardinals (Wife grew up in St. Louis, plus there's the whole A's pipeline thing)
   
3. Nationals (I'm from from D.C. originally, plus it's nice to see them doing well after getting the shaft from MLB, and I'm sort of rooting for Guillen to get his life on track)

1. Giants (Knee injury or attempt to duck steroid rumors?  Too much undeserved ink in the Bay Area press)
   
2. Rangers (Siddown Showalter!  Oh wait, Francisco just threw your chair into the stands...)
   
3. Brewers, D-Rays, and any other team whose ownership is putting less in player salaries on the field than they're taking in for revenue sharing-- shame on you!

Not ok with..
1).  LA Dodgers - Father and brother big Dodger fans...Game 1 of 88 series need I say more?
2). Big market east coast teams (you know who) - I am sick of hearing about them on ESPN
3).  Cubs - the most overrated team in baseball. As of today the A's are 2 games better yet are given no shot at the playoffs, yet the Cubs do?
4).  SF Bonds...enough said!

Least Favorite
1.) Giants (Just don't like them, their front office, their ownership, or their legions of "fans")
2.) Red Sox (Ever since the "Lil~ly" stunt)
3.) Yankees (Goes without saying)

Angels are a close 4th.

1.  A's
   
2.  A's
   
3.  A's
   
4.  A's
   
5.  A's

9999999999.  A's

You get the point ;)

Hated Teams:
3 way tie between LAAAAAAAAAA, NYYYY, Boston

1. Cleveland: young, spunky team; my hometown; Fossee still revered there; plus people in Cleveland need something to live for
   
2. Minnesota: another little team that could
   
3. Dodgers: because it drives Giants' fans crazy

1. Yankees (that's for you, A-Rod)
   
2. Yankess (that's for you, Sheffield)
   
3. Yankess (that's for you, Georgie Boy)

1. Astros -- they used to be on TV a lot when I was a teenager, and they had Nolan Ryan, one of my favorite players.  I've never been to Houston.  At that time, the Rangers were this odd sidebar club, but they do have a nice stadium now.
   
2. Dodgers -- I used to hate how they owned the Braves when I was a kid and Phil Niekro pitched for Atlanta.  But I'm friendly with a SoCal uncle who has supported the Dodgers from his Long Beach/Seal Beach digs since the 1950s.  I have finally accepted Tommy Lasorda as a baseball demi-guru.  
   
3. Nationals -- just keeping an eye on them and enjoying the 1-0 games they're giving fans.  I like Robinson in general.

1. Angels -- Everything that's wrong with California today is embodied in this club.  Arnold should send anthropologists to study the club and figure out how to fix this "faded and jaded pearl" of a state.  Where, oh where, to begin slagging off the Angels?  There are so many entry points.  The Angels are third-generation Okies who's cultural ancestors moved into the state for a better life and are re-manufacturing their identity as prominent Californians by the week.  The Angels <rant deleted due to conscience>
   
2. Cardinals -- no real reason except some grating personalities there over the years and I'm in the minority in not liking their stadium.  I'm in the minority in never liking Ozzie Smith, for goodness sake, so there's no way I'd like the lesser lights who played on/managed that team.
   
3. Twins -- Minnesota was all about the Vikings and the Purple People Eaters for me.  Baseball doesn't fit into the equation in that state.  Of course, the Vikings moved indoors and lost their tough image.
   
4. Who cares if I have four?  Diamondbacks.  Inappropriate place for pro teams, for some reason, and the Cactus League be darned.  It's just odd.  And the hated St Louis Cardinals moved there too.  How many cardinals do you see winging over Yuma at high noon in the summer?  Silly, silly.
   
5. And five plus?? In no particular order, the Red Sox, Yankees, Phillies, Orioles, fake-team Mariners, and the sublimely awful Devil Rays.

-Dodgers: always have, except during the World Series in '88
-Baltimore: Miggy and because I'd rather they won the east over NY and Boston

On the hate side, I will always root against these teams (except where it's advantageous for the A's for one of these teams to win):

-Seattle/Texas/Angels: division rivals, but I really don't have that visceral hate for them that I have for these three...
-Yankees: hating the Yankees is just a sign that you are sane
-Boston: at one time I rooted for this team, just to stick it to the Yankees. But then they had to go and become the Yankees Jr, and with even more obnoxious fans (which I didn't think was possible)
-SF: grew up my whole life in this area where one team apparently can do no wrong. And wouldn't you know it's the least deserving local team? I'll never get it. The A's, 49ers, Raiders, even the frickin Warriors have all brought home championships, but what team gets a free pass and more love from the media than anyone else? The Giants.
