To Go!]]> Rally the troops! Chiba Lotte fans are protesting to retain manager Bobby Valentine, hanging this banner: "We would rather fight with Bobby, who says we're the world's best fans, than with a front office who calls us worthless." For you non-Japanese speakers, that roughly translates to Backwards K. [NYT]

The Cubs have trained in Mesa for the last 10 years, so they've got a ton of fans over there. Perhaps more than the Diamondbacks do.

Tonight and tomorrow, HoHoKam will be hosting a viewing party for the Cubs-Diamondbacks games. And they're even allowing D-Backs fans to come!

Hohokam serves as the Cactus League home for the Cubs, who usually lead the league in attendance, so expect a lot of Cub fans at the event. Cubs memorabilia will be available, but Diamondbacks fans also are welcome.

"The city is happy to provide a low-cost, family-oriented option to watch the game," said Dave Dunne, Hohokam Stadium director. "It's like going to a drive-in and watching a baseball game."

We know the D-Backs have a lot of loyal fans ... but we can't imagine a big viewing party for Angels fans out at Lake Quinsigamond in Worcester.
