Off topic: Which MLB team should New Orleans adopt?

[Penuckle]

I'm running this poll for an episode of my podcast, Trew to the Game, trying to figure out which MLB team New Orleanians should adopt. Drop a vote here:

Houston is the closest. They suck, plus their games aren't televised in NOLA.

The Zephrys are a part of the Marlins which has the worst owner ever. So no to them.

I'm gonna say Texas Rangers. Excellent franchise and their games will be shown on Fox Sports New Orleans. Go with the Rangers.

Drop a vote on the poll so it counts!

I adopted the Rays because they are from "the south" and not a team that would seem like i am jumping on a bandwagon (like say yankees or sox)
My brain won't allow me to root for Texas teams. Can't do it.
Voted.

None?

Astros even though they are terrible

[The JNR]

I grew up rooting for the Phillies because of Boy Meets World. But in the city I mostly see Cardinals and Red Sox fans.

[GPT Pelican]

Cards fan here. However I am in gulfport

[PelsFan2313]

GO CUBS!

[Imnos 2]

Go Reds!

[Imnos 2]

Boo Cubs....and Cardinals...and Brewers....and Pirates. Good riddance to Astros

[NOLa.]

None really.

[iNolaNightmare]

I like the Rays idea. Are they up for adoption?

[Primetime]

Whoever has the most LSU players.

So weird, I've been thinking about this for weeks now. I've decided to root for the Indians. They are a team with tons of former glory. Currently they are rebuilding, with tons of young player, new guys brought in through free agency and a cool fan base. Same colors as the pels, great logo. No where near southern related so I know its random, but they feel like the hornets and how the saints used to feel, so im going with them

I'm a Royals fan.

Ive been a huge Braves fan my whole life. I guess everyone here hates them, but they arent the douchfest of an organization like the Atlanta Falcons.

I have been a Yankees fan since i was 4. I decided that because the Yankees were from NEW York, that somehow they were connected to NEW Orleans at least in spirit. However, that was the logic of a 4 year old so take it with a grain of salt. Either way, I support the Yankees 100 percent, and have affection for the Braves because my uncle moved to Atlanta, and I also have affection for the Rangers because I moved to Texas when I was younger and my first professional sports experience was at the Ballpark in Arlington

I seriously hate watching or attending anything that involves MLB. I'd rather watch tennis. lol

[bojangles837]

Nationals fan. I don't think New Orleans will ever have a consensus favorite team.

[The JNR]

I've only been to one game, Cubs vs Cards in Wrigley, and it was amazing. I enjoyed it so much, and I'm not even really a baseball fan. I would love to catch a game in Yankee Stadium (I saw Jay Z and Eminem do a show there, but no baseball game) or Fenway.

Rangers. Ronald Washington--the manager--is a born and raised New Orleanian. Think he still lives here.

I got reasons to also follow the Blue Jays...which has failed so far.

Well the blue jays of old are no more. They're looking to win the east this year

Blue Jays! Super team!
