My two favorite baseball teams are the worst two teams in major league baseball

I grew up in Cleveland and have (logically) tried my hardest to divest myself of fandom in the hometown teams ever since I moved away. I moved to the Worshinton area 25 years ago but have never been able to become an O's or Skins fan. I've tried hard to be a Natinals fan but they make it so darn hard. I thought the Featherheads might have a good young team this year but the bullpen has just gone to pieces. What is one to do?

I guess there is always KING JAMES! I've never been much of a BBall fan, but that guy is totally amazing!

1. Boston isn't THAT far away.

Root for them. We have plenty of room in Red Sox Nation for you.

3. They are my #3

I've admired the Red Sox since grade school when I read a book on the Splendid Splinter. I thought the Sox comeback from being down 3-0 in the ALCS a few years ago would finally kill my love for the Tribe, but it only lasted one year.

Hating the Yankees will never fade, tho.

5. Don't make fun of me for my typo!

Just kidding. I lurk enough here to know you are just sticking another dagger into TZ's vulnerable heart.

However, WTH is the back story on Natinals? I must have missed it.

6. I was a Reds fan for many years

And outside of 1991, they haven't been winners either...as both my parents are originally from Cleveland...my condolences on being a fan....(especially if you are a Browns fan like my Dad)
