if the phillies bullpen blows a two run lead I am boiling myself alive and festively dying myself various pastel colors

Presently writing about the 1945 Phillies for Baseball Prospectus; is it comforting to know that things used to be much, much worse?

We have a podcast (co-hosted by one of you BP colleagues) to tell us about how much worse the Phillies used to be and so we know it helps not one bit. We’re just profoundly damaged baseball fans.

If only Dr. Giamatti or Ernie Harwell or any of those other romanticizers had written, rather than, "it's the game that breaks your heart," "it's the game that profoundly damages you and leaves you with an ever-present sense of betrayal." That would have been far more accurate.

That’s the heart of it, alright. That would speak to a Phillies fan.

We saw the first two in person. Massive psychic damage.

Try being a Giants fan. So much potential and comradeship, so much clutch losing. 😫

I never thought I’d hear as much “woe is me” nonsense as I heard from yankee fans, but for Giants fans to complain about not winning? It’s only been 10 years since they won 3 out of 5!

Yeah but now the Giants are in the middle of their long penance of suffering and blowing 12 point leads before we are allowed to win again. Probably got another decade of this by my count. Torture ball is real
