I root for my own team in any sport, then generally root for the teams who have had the least success.

The Devil Rays have been around for almost 2030 years. Brewers 50+ without a title. Guardians 1948. Any of those are fine by me.

[u/Leelze → u/Logical-Mobile-7643]

I hate to make myself feel old, but the Rays have been around for almost 30.

[u/Logical-Mobile-7643 → u/Leelze]

Math is hard at night

[u/Leelze → u/Logical-Mobile-7643]

Oh trust me, I get it. I, unfortunately, was old enough to remember when the Rays entered the league.

[u/mvrphy007 → u/Logical-Mobile-7643]

Almost 30

[u/Logical-Mobile-7643 → u/mvrphy007]

Did my attempt to cross out the 20 not work or are you serious?

[u/BIG_DICK_WHITT]

Brother, at this point in my life, literally any time I can get to spend doing anything that isn’t work or children I just try to enjoy. Especially getting to watch a game. Life’s too fucking short to spend this time upset at things

[u/Any-Log-6706 → u/BIG_DICK_WHITT]

Yup if my team doesn’t make it, watching some good baseball is never a bad thing regardless of who’s playing

[u/Theinfamousgiz → u/BIG_DICK_WHITT]

I’m with you bro. I mean fuck the Red Sox. But I’ve learned to just enjoy the time

[u/hammerheadlabs → u/BIG_DICK_WHITT]

Agreed. I like baseball too much. Yeah I'll be bummed for a bit if the Dodgers get bounced but I'll wake up the next day and do shit i enjoy

[u/SignificantArtHeist → u/BIG_DICK_WHITT]

Sure. And root for the Rays to lose

[u/grrgrrtigergrr]

Yeah, I’m not cheering for Cleveland.

[u/DizzyAd5038 → u/grrgrrtigergrr]

But are you cheering for the brewers?

[u/grrgrrtigergrr → u/DizzyAd5038]

As much as I hated the Brewers in the Molitor, Yount, Teddy years as a league rival, that has cooled since they moved to the NL. So I wouldn’t mind them winning.

[u/DizzyAd5038 → u/grrgrrtigergrr]

I feel the same way about cle lmao

Honestly kinda wish you guys would have made it. It's been ten years since the city won a championship

[u/AcolyteOfInfinity → u/DizzyAd5038]

Sky won in 2021.

[u/DizzyAd5038 → u/AcolyteOfInfinity]

Sorry for the big 4*

[u/AcolyteOfInfinity → u/DizzyAd5038]

Championship is a championship, don’t be greedy

[u/DizzyAd5038 → u/AcolyteOfInfinity]

The Chicago wolves won in 22 then and they prolly outdrew the sky. I'll be as greedy as I want I have high expectations for a bunch of teams that don't typically win

[u/AcolyteOfInfinity → u/DizzyAd5038]

You’ll be greedy and not recognize a pro team but will a minor league 😂 multiple Chicago teams have made playoffs, takes some winning to get there

[u/DizzyAd5038 → u/AcolyteOfInfinity]

Dude nobody gives a fuck about the wnba. I'm a frequent watcher of both the wta and the lpga they're excellent watches women's basketball just is not there's a reason they get less attendance than the minor league chicago wolves

[u/vsladko → u/grrgrrtigergrr]

Lmfao, for real. No chance in hell I'm rooting for Cleveland.

[u/mostly-void-stars → u/grrgrrtigergrr]

In 2024 after Cleveland beat us in the ALDS I was rooting for the Yankees to pulverize them lmao

[u/Substantial_Break584]

"The mariners are a real mlb team" lmao

[u/Background-You-2073 → u/Substantial_Break584]

Ha! You must be older than me. Is your cutoff the Rangers? See, the Rangers were “always there” for me. I don’t remember the Senators (prolly a good thing). It’s just funny. The expansion teams who come next might as well be the f’ing Jacksonville jaguars!

[u/Substantial_Break584 → u/Background-You-2073]

I don't know if you've been following Marinerball this season but this is not a real team

[u/Background-You-2073 → u/Substantial_Break584]

Well yeah they sucked but they are an organization that seems real. Diamondbacks? To me, that’s a Six Flags attraction.

[u/Y2K-enn]

"YoU'rE NoT a ReAl TeAm!"

[u/Any-Environment-7545 → u/Y2K-enn]

You’re Slippin’ Tampa!

[u/__clownbaby]

Lol, you're the worst!

[u/ReceptionNo67 → u/__clownbaby]

But in an endearing way. I'm not mad at it, but I can't stand for it

[u/TaroNecessary5350]

[u/Background-You-2073 → u/TaroNecessary5350]

Is this the average Angels fan? I’m confused.

[u/ThatDudeNamedMenace]

I usually fill my life with other things like wrestling shows, Broadway shows or other sports. I literally don’t care after the Yankees get eliminated.

[u/2outhits]

So you like making up pretend rules to govern your fandom. How about just enjoying the good baseball for what it is?

[u/Background-You-2073 → u/2outhits]

Dude no that’s just the quirkiness of my fandom, not rules, and it’s funny, and I’m guessing I’m not alone.

[u/neurovish]

Time for bed boomer. What if it was the Cardinals? Would you still want them to win it all?

[u/Arconovaldo]

I didn't root for the Blue Jays last year in the World Series

[u/ForensicPathology]

I couldn't imagine being upset because a "new" team won.

[u/Afraid_Associate53]

the mariners and blue jays being the cutoff is a weirdly specific line that i respect
