Hey Verc or anyone else who follows club soccer. Who is a good Euro club team to root for? i.e. not tools, d bags, or the equivalent of Cardinals fans.

I wish I had a good answer. I haven't been able to just conjure up a rooting interest in a team out of nowhere. It needs to be an English team because that's about all you can follow here without getting a special TV package. It can't be one of the traditional powers because all the Euro guys at the pub will give you crap about being a frontrunner. All I've been able to muster so far is a rooting interest for the American individual players' teams, but that always goes away once they get moved. I got nothing.
On that note, ESPN losing the premier league is about the greatest thing for soccer on american TV. NBC sports coverage of the premier league next year is going to be far better than any other previous offerings.

I wouldn't have him up in every 8th. I would only get him up when things got sketchy. I think sometimes the game needs saving in an inning other than the 9th. The 8th inning started as 5-3. If Ankiel doesn't strikeout, David Wright bats with the go ahead run in scoring position. No way I have him facing anyone but Kimbrel.
Not Verc, but as far as german bundesliga I have liked Dortmund for years. Not a lot of arogant pricks with a bunch of money, they find good players when they are young and build from that. As far as English Premier league have always been partial to Everton and Tottenham, though with Everton's mangager being gone who knows what the future holds for them. In Italian Series A, I've been following Roma pretty closely lately.
