I think it depends on how you lose... If you lose by a walk off homer, while it hurts, u don't think it hurts as much as a buzzer beater in basketball or something. It feels like a bit of luck and heroism was involved. But since so many things have to go into scoring in baseball most of the times, watching a team methodically break you down (like so many people have mentioned) is like a slow death.

49ers..Braves..Celtics
I don't know. Niners losing in the NFC title game last year off a botched punt return had me wanting to strangle Kyle Williams. :snoop:

But I remember as a kid growing up watching the Braves there were some terrible ones like the Leyritz homer in '96 :damn:

Game 6 against the Cardinals 2006 nlcs still stings me to this day:to::bryan: me and my friends just walked out of my boys crib without saying a word to each other rigth after Beltran went down looking.. a wake is usually more upbeat:wow:

Just something about baseball the fact theryes no clock.. the pace.. the tension how quickly it can end for you makes it feel like a punch in the gut..

Plus for thsoe of us wo grew up on the game our baseball team was our first love of sports plus you watch your team through 162 games and months of baseball the attatchment is like no other:to:

That game 7 in 06 still hurts, the worst moment of my sports fandom. Hurt even worse than the 2000 World Series.

its not just the game itself, but the fact that the season is so damn long. that's why i didn't really like the 1 game wild card series. you played and fought the whole year only to lose just one game and your out

Football isn't my favorite sports now? :what:

I'm "shytting" on other sports now Lady dramatic?

ok using da term 'shyt' may have been a lil too strong
but my meaning is 100% -WHY do baseball heads need to belittle other sports when boosting theirs....
real talk -it really comes off very insecure :manny:
