Reading the Atlanta offseason thread I noticed that a lot of the people in there were LSU/New Orleans related. For the people who are from or have lived there what is the most popular team and some of the other teams that are very popular there?

I'd say mostly the Braves, Cubs, Yankees, Red Sox or Rangers. Braves and Cubs due to TBS and WGN and well Yankees and Red Sox self explanatory.

Rangers popularity is of course jumping up heavily throughout the state though I find most fans are from up near Shreveport.

I was young when the Astros had their good run from the late 90's to mid 00's to remember if there was a lot of Astros fans popping up around here or not.

Cardinals here, I have family in St Louis.

A lot of Louisiana people are Stros fans because of proximity. A lot are Braves and Cubs fans due to the superstations. And then there are the frontrunning douches that like the Yankees, and of late, the Red Sox.

It sucks. I love baseball, and played it all my life but don't know who to root for. I like the Cubs, Mariners and Giants but never follow them.

Was the same way with the NBA for LA got the Hornets.

Removing Yankees, Cubs, and Red Sox for obvious reasons.

North Louisiana = Texas Rangers and Atlanta Braves
Southern Louisiana = Houston Astros

Been an Astros my whole life. Can't even really say who my second favorite is. Maybe Marlins or Rockies

Liked the Cubs growing up.

Now I remain unaffiliated. Enjoyed the Angles and Orioles last year.

A lot of the old timers are Pirates fans from when the Pelicans were here.

To answer your question,
1. Chicago Cubs
2. Houston Astros/Atlanta Braves
