What baseball team do Panthers fans root for?

This is marginally related to the Panthers, but I am curious and I know it will get more traffic in this section of the forum.  I did not find anything similar using the search function.

 

Given that there is not a professional baseball team in the Carolinas, who do most of you root for? The Orioles and the Nationals make sense because of distance.  The Braves are an option as well.  The Durham Bulls are the triple A affiliate of the Tampa Bay Rays and the Charlotte Knights is the triple A affiliate of the White Sox, so it would make sense to follow either the Sox or the Rays.  There are several other minor league teams, but the triple A teams are most relevant to the major league clubs, unless a young stud jumps from single or double A.  

 

With that said who is your team and why?

Loved the giants as a kid, big Barry bonds fan. Went to a padres giants game when I took a trip to south town as a kid.

I have fell off for years, and not a baseball fan at all. If I had to identify with a team it would be the giants. I hesitate, cause I do not want to identified as a banwaggoner. So I guess I'm N/A.

Definitely holding out for a franchise in the Carolinas.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
