I am a fan of two teams - the Braves and any team playing the Yankees!

The Braves went back to sucking just as soon as Ted Turner stopped throwing money at the team. Not expecting much from them this season, which is a shame, because the new stadium looks awesome.

That is if anyone can get to it now I85's broke!!!

Apparently Derek Jeter is in the mix for ownership.

I moved to Toronto 4 years ago but had been watching the Blue Jays on TV(when time difference allowed) for a few years prior to that. I also played softball before moving to Canada, so yes I love baseball! Go Jays Go!
Soccer will always remain my No.1 sport though, even though I don't miss Scottish football much!!
I enjoy watching MLS and get along to Toronto FC games about 7-8 times a season - so close to winning it last year too :-(

Isn't that precious!

Really, I couldn't watch more than five minutes of MLS. It's like local, in-the-park football back home. The quality is dreadful. I was watching the Seattle Sounders play Atlanta FC and had to turn it off it was so bad!

I watch the Premier league on NBCSN and probably get to see more games than I ever did back in Blighty!

Sure, the MLS isn't up to the same standards as the big euro leagues and it'll probably be another 10 years before it can start to come close. I don't watch as much european football now I live in Canada but geez, over the years I've watched some really awful games in european football as well.

What I like about MLS is that it is competitive, anyone can beat anyone else(the salary cap helps massively with this). The big clubs have so much money in Euro football now that 10-12 teams dominate the Champions League year in year out and 2, 3 or 4 teams dominate their own domestic leagues year in year out, it's boring.
