Message Boards for Other Teams: A List

[Hildy910]

Since there have been a couple queries about message boards for other teams in the past couple days, I thought it might be useful to have some sort of list of good fan sites around the MLB.

My goal is to have only two or three sites per team--it's not meant to include every forum out there. I also prefer to post forum sites over blogs, although if a blog has a game thread or is really, really good, I'll include it. Thanks for all the suggestions!

Edit: Updated on 8/3/11-- New input appreciated!

Nice. Thanks for posting this.

[Dog Named Fred]

http://www.sbnation.com/ includes blogs from every team except for the dodgers. there's a wide variety in terms of quality from team to team, but some, like the a's (http://www.athleticsnation.com), cardinals (http://www.vivaelbirdos.com) and cubs (http://www.bleedcubbieblue.com), are pretty active.

[jonnyc39]

Your link to tribewatch.com contains an "i" before www.

Thanks for the links!

[ChewieTobbacca]

nice list!

Braves Beat

I prefer this Braves site.

[Hildy910]

Your link to tribewatch.com contains an "i" before www.

Haven't you ever heard of that well known grammar rule, "I before w except after Tribe?"

Fixed it, thanks!

[Deez Nats]

Also, operating under some silly theory that we might like more than one National, natfanatics.com changes their URL to natsfanatics.com.

Hey that's pretty cool. Thanks.

My oh my we're famous!

Athletics Nation is pretty good. They've had some top-notch interviews, from Michael Lewis to Billy Beane, to top A's prospects.

I'd be honored if I made that list.

You know its funny to see what SOME of the Red Sox fans who act all nice here really think of us. Good thread indeed, props for posting it.

No problem. And its sad that Barry goes there being all nice and what not and that one guy just baits him and acts like an ass. I'm glad some of the other sox fans told him to stfu.

athleticsnation.com i pretty decent.

Yeah...I was pretty shocked when I read that thread. I think NYYFANS runs a pretty tight ship, and the result is a darn good website for Yankee fans. I guess they resent our forum as much as our 26 Championships.

I don't know about that. There seemed to be a LOT less Yankee bashing at rsn than at sosh. I mean they actually reffered to the Yankees as *gasp* Yankees!

Its the trolls that ruin it for the good sox fans.

And the most important measure for how to judge the quality of a baseball site is how they treat or refer to the Yankees?
