2025 MLB Season

[Billy Hoyle]

I think I agree. I certainly would have rather lost last night's game 10-1.

That was a real gut-punch. I didn't sleep well last night, and I've only been a Mariners fan for a year. I feel for those who have been following the team for decades. It's tough being a fan!

As a Tigers fan I get it after that 15 inning gut punch. Hell, the Lions loss to the Niners in 2024 still stings - no other team would have a pass bounce off the defender's helmet and into the arms of the receiver, or have their RB have his first fumble of the season. I'd rather get blown out like MU in 2003 than dwell on the "what ifs."

And there is no loss that haunts me more than Stanford 2008 (Arkansas 1996 is a close second). Dammit, Burke couldn't have defended Lopez any better). Having to interview and then work with their PG, Mitch Johnson (16 assists, one turnover), for a year was a constant reminder of that heartbreak.

Watching the Packers lose Super Bowl 32 was like watching a car crash in slow motion.  That's the closest I've gotten to a what the hell just happened sports loss and that was buffered by them winning the year before.

The Seahawks stunning them in the '14 NFC Championship game was another but again, not that long after winning Super Bowl 45.

The Mariners were 8 outs from making their first World Series.  I can't imagine watching that at Safeco and going home afterwards.

I say baseball is the cruelest because of how fast it can go sideways in a game.  Thinking of the Pirates in game 7 of the '92 NLCS.  That was it for their fans.  The Indians in game 7 of the '97 World Series and blowing the '16 Series after being up 3-1.

I suppose the Falcons losing to the Patriots is the NFL equivalent or the Jags losing the '17 AFC title game matches the Mariners loss.  Just dong punches

We all love sports ... but they can be very cruel!

We all love sports ... but they can be very cruel!

Which is why we love them.  When our team pulls the upset and/or goes on a tourney/playoff run.   They always seem to end one game too soon.

To borrow from the original Highlander movie, ...'there can be only one'...

For 99 % of fans every season in every sport, it isn't your team.   But that one time....

I was at Game 6 of the 2003 NLCS.

That's in the hunt but at least Cubs fans have 2016 now

WHY WOULD YOU BRING THIS UP

Took a Bucks championship for me to accept Brook

[Billy Hoyle]

WHY WOULD YOU BRING THIS UP

my therapist said that's the only way for me to move past it.

For me, the Dom broken foot is significantly more devastating than the Stanford game.
