get back to me when your team is worse then them eh?
I see your cubs and raise you the Pirates. Half my life been spent watch them lose. 17 and counting. I don't support them I will never go to anther baseball game again until there is a salary cap in baseball. F baseball.
Indians aren't so hot this year either. Reds are full of meh.
Indians just loves trading away their top players. Reds, no idea what the hell is wrong with them.
At least the Tigers are giving me something local to root for, though I hate supporting that terrible state of Michigan. note: that has nothing to do with being an Ohio State student, rather, being a neighbor of Michigan (live in Toledo, very close to border) and recognizing what an awful state Michigan really is. Sorry Michigan residents, it's true.
Blame it on the state government, the economy is just terrible and they've done nothing to boost confidence. When the star city has been one of the worst cities in the nation for decades, it doesn't help.
I like to root for Ohio teams when I can, thank god I don't follow pro football or the Browns and Bengals, mostly the Browns, would have me in an unrecoverable depression.
I have to root for the Tigers though. Local ball club is the Tigers, as the Toledo Mudhens are their AAA team. And then there is hockey - Blue Jackets finally started going somewhere last year, but it's always been about Detroit, and again, the Toledo team is the ECHL Redwings affiliate. Looking forward to their return this year with the new arena finally complete, been a few seasons without a team. Head coach is returning, so I am very excited to go to a few of those games... new arena looks awesome.
Holds true that Toledo is Detroit Jr - bad economy locally too, and sadly to root for local sports means I must support the Detroit teams. Other than basketball - cannot stand that sport. It's fun watching Tigers players who I watched play in Toledo.
