Seriously, the sore-looserness is getting fucking old.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
The incessant Yankee hate. I haven't kept a list of who. It's old and really can take a breather now.

“Not dead yet!”
As a die-hard Marlins fan we're more stunned when we do well rather than expecting it. And as a die-hard Seminoles fan, I think it's been good for the team to have a run of less than stellar luck the past few years. Good for character.
Funny headline of the day read something along the lines of "George Steinbrenner preparing to purchase rights to Marlins' 2003 World Series."

As we were walking from our car to the stadium, we passed by a bunch of stands selling "Yankees Suck" shirts. I said to my sister that it was silly that they were selling those shirts on a day when the Red Sox weren't even playing the Yankees.
Yeah, I don't think we do that. Maybe I just haven't noticed, but I don't think there are "Sox Sux" shirts for sale all the time up by the stadium.

In sorta-sports related news, it seems that some of the Washington fans are becoming less enthralled with the local football team. Finally.
After years and years of treating fans like crap, after years of being involved in a lawsuit over the team name (if the people you're supposedly honoring find it offensive, dude, it's offensive), after squeezing every dollar out of fans that they possibly can (and some you wouldn't think were possible), it's taken losing in the most humiliating ways possible for fans to get fed up.
Needless to say, I'm not a fan and got tired of the adulation about two years after moving here.

I'm equal opportunity, I'm pretty sickened by most professional sports organizations.

ND is me, except you can substitute "bored" for "sickened."

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I am from Detroit. I've heard we *have* professional sports organizations, but I don't think that means what they think it means.

Well, I'm pretty sure they don't suffer from sore loserdom, given all the practice.
The first time I ever read the phrase "snatching defeat from the jaws of victory" was in the Detroit Free Press sports section. I'm pretty sure they were talking about the Lions.
And yet, when the Tigers had that run of not sucking a while back, I was all kinds of pleased for my team. 25 years gone and I'm still fond of them.
