Hapless Baseball Team Wins Seven in a Row!  

I used to let sports and game results upset me. But not in the last 15 years. It is not worth getting upset about it, not that I don't get emotional over the few teams I follow. I just don't get attched to the results. By the way, I know nothing of the San Francisco Giants...does Willie Mays still play for you guys? How about Orlando Cepeda?

I have been a Boston Red Sox fan since before I was born....my mother was a fanatic fan when she was carrying me and I'm sure I listened to all their games during those 9 months. It took 86 years for Boston to win the Series but loyal Sox fans never gave up hope that next year was the one. It didn't matter if they ended up in last place the Boston fans were always loyal. We had some of the greatest players beginning with Babe Ruth (it was in 1928..the Babe's last year at Boston) that they won the pennent. Ty Cobb, Ted Williams, Bobby Doerr, The Yaz, Jim Rice, just to name a few came and went and still no Series although they won the pennant several times. I always remember that someone has to lose and if it's my team, well, there's always next year. Hope is the key word...enjoy the bad times with the good times and always believe that your team's time will come...probably when you least expect them. Love em and support em but don't let them get the best of you.....it won't make any difference to the team but it might make a big difference in your health and state of mind. Hang in there.++

And looks like the Philadelphia Phillies are coming on strong as many predicted, especially their own Jimmy Rollins! I have been a Braves fan for as long as I can remember, during the losing 80's, winning 90's, and into the 2000's. So no matter whether they lose 100 games in a season, win 100, make the playoffs or not, win the World Series or just get there, I support them all the way every day, every week, every month, and every year. So to answer your question, maybe those of us who are should not be fair weather fans, but rather support through thick and thin. This can apply to many other areas besides sports as well.

Hello,cremcheese,it is a good news for you for the giants to win seven straight games. I think you know how to deal with your attitude as you have been watching baseball for so long, you should know winning or losing in a single game does not mean anything as there are 140 games more to go. Of course,you should be happy of the winning streak, but do no be too sad if losing,no teams can win forever.
Anyway, the giants are just one game behind the dogders ,it is not hat hard to get back to top ranking again if Bonds is batting well,isn't it?

You find out how to adjust a mental sports attitude ,let me know okay! I can be in the best of moods and my team will play badly and that 's it for the good mood.It is very stressful being a sports fan!

What kind of fan calls his team "hapless" after that type of winning streak? I dont even know where to begin, take a better look at the roster, with Zito, Cain, and Bonds I would not be surprised to see the Giants in the pennant race, it seems to happen almost every year..

Of course no quality response, what would anyone expect from MyLot..NL west is the best division in baseball , but of course this site makes no mention, they only want your money
