Dodgers, but I'm seriously conflicted
See, this is my first season following baseball. I decided to get into it this year and just kind of arbitrarily chose a team. Well, it wasn't completely arbitrary, I do live in the Dodgers' market, so it came down to picking between them and the Angels, and I mostly picked the Dodgers due to VIN MOTHERFUCKING SCULLY. The magazines and stuff predicted a mediocre season for the team this year, and I thought that was fine, I just wanted someone to root for to make it more interesting. When the Dodgers were like seven games out of first I was sad, but not upset, I was still having fun following my first full baseball season. Less so when they lost eight in a row, but I stuck with them. It's amazing how much a group of guys can grow on you over the course of so many games a season. But now that the team is poised for its greatest season since a certain high fly ball into right field, I'm happy, of course, but I feel like I don't deserve it. I feel like a bandwagon fag (even though I've been here since spring training) reading posts of people saying, "We've waited twenty years for this!" I'm happy the team I've rooted for all year is having success, but its like I'd rather suffer first, and succeed later, like a real fan. Anyway, you'll probably just sage this and say LOL BANDWAGONFAG, AN HERO URSELF, but I kinda wanted to get that off my chest
