Well, sort of. There is no better feeling than when the team that you follow, coach or play for is competitive. That said, it hurts your heart when the team that you follow, coach or play for blows. This is the case with me.
Everyone knows that I follow the Orioles. They blow. Camden Yards might be cursed because there is no reason that with the line up we have, we can not hit. I know that the pitching is young but for the most part (minus Brad Bergesen) they have done a great job. Maybe not great but good enough. Every year I run my mouth saying "this is the year" or "if we can be 500, that is a step" and by June I give up. I really think I love college football so much (Go Blue) because the O's have sucked since I was 10.
My Little League team, Oriole quality. I have not been able to do anything that I wanted to with the guys because I'm not the "head coach". I'm not saying that they would have been any better under me but I want a shot. I believe that we finish in second place (the league has 3 teams) as long as we don't get beat by 9 runs or more. I don't even care. There are 9 players on our team since 2 have quit. One will not get there until 5 minutes after game time EVERY GAME so we have to start with 8. The last two games I have sat in the dugout on a chair and didn't say a word. Would it be bad if I cried in front of the kids? I've kinda felt like it for 3 weeks...
The last time I was involved with a winner was in college when I played for the good ol' Bobcats. Frostburg was good when I was there and they are doing even better now. They were ranked in the region this year and won the conference, first year in it I believe. Suck it Salisbury. Must be because they stopped partying in Frostburg... right. I miss college. I miss playing baseball. I miss good baseball.
