How bout them (insert your team here)?

I love sports. No problem there.

Here's my issue and really, it's not so much a issue as it is...well, funny. People who don't watch sports, do not understand. My friends, even if they hate sports, will come over when i'm watching a game or a fight or whatever just to watch me get drunk or subsequently get drunk themselves. See, i'm a yeller. I yell at the screen, opposing teams fans, people on the street, pretty much everyone whether my team is doing well or not. Here are some things i've had said to me while watching my favorite sporting event.

"They can't hear you through the screen, stop yelling."- Fuck you. Maybe they can't "hear" me but, i like to think they feel it. Like when a jedi dies, the other jedi's "feel a disturbance," Rex Grossman feels it when i call him a cock gobblin jungle turd after his 3rd interception of the game.

"You keep saying "we" like you're part of the team."- I am part of the fucking team. I bought my Chicago Tribune this morning which in turn means i help pay Derrek Lee's fucking salary (at least till the end of the year it does) . HIT SOME DAMN HOME RUNS!! Thanks for batting .340 this year so far, really, but, you'd help US a lot more if you'd have hit about 14, 15, 60 homeruns by now. I can say all this cause i love Derrek Lee and as a fan, i'm entitled to bitch about a player who is awesome but, should be awesomer.

"It's just a game."- It is just a game. Just a game. Game 6. NLCS. 2003. 5 outs. Pre-pussified Mark Prior. Bartman..............................................anger building.......................................ALEX GONZALEZ IS A STUPID BASTARD FOR BOOTING A FOR SURE DOUBLE PLAY BALL. Anway my point is this, after that disaster of a game, there was another game. I didnt think there was gonna be so i had already made plans to be w/gf who hated baseball. We lose game 6 and i try to ease into a "baby, i'm not coming over tonight because Kerry Wood is gonna pitch in a game 7," she wasnt having any of it.

In summation, i sacrificed my future with a girl that i was w/ a few years at this point, to watch Wood lose game 7. I'd do it again in a fucking second. If you can't handle my fandom, then leave. I'm not part of this team? Sweet Georgia fucking Brown i am.

Sports are fun. I like them, almost a frightening amount.
