Help me choose my 2nd favorite team

[OSUFan_88]

Let's be honest, the Indians suck. They are run by a moron, they play uninspired and they hit like Gena Davis. They are sucking the fun out of baseball for me and I'd assume for many other Cleveland fans...

So I need a team to root for so baseball doesn't die for me completely. I'd prefer that someone convince me to follow an NL team because I do not want to root actively against either the Indians or (insert team here).

So, convince me, who should I root for?

ATL, jump on the bandwagon, I've been here since 84, it was rough at the beginning but it's paid off well.

If you like good pitching Giants could be fun. Look at the guys they run out to the mound every day.

Marlins and Dbacks could be fun as well. Lots of good young players on those teams.

I would shy off of the Marlins, they always have some of the best prospects in baseball but their ownership's inability to resign their stars would make you feel like Cleveland all over again.

I don't think 1995 will allow me to be a Braves fan.

The Giants and DBacks would be very tough for me due to the distance factor...although I really like what the Giants are doing. The Giants are definitely high on the list.

The Marlins are like the NL version of the Indians...I at least need someone who can keep their own players.

[The Iceman]

D-Backs
Upton, Reynolds, Connor Jackson, Dan Haren, B Webb (when healthy), Miguel Montero

Young manager, first full season.

Nice Ballpark, Great Fans, Good history for a 12 year team

Don't worry David Justice, Tom Glavine and Mark Wholers are all gone now.

But Chipper Jones is still there.

IDK, jumping on the Braves bandwagon now would be...well, rather bandwagonish of me.

There are definitely good options being thrown out here. Dbacks, Giants and Braves are all great suggestions.
