The Tribe is one of our long time favorite teams. I am talking about teams that hardly EVER win. The Tribe has been good in the past decade or so. I am talking about some teams that seem to never win or even compete!

The Royals used to be the thorn in the side of the Yankees and went to the World Series twice. Losing to the Phillies in 1980 and winning over the Cardnals in 1985. Brett, Quisenberry, Saberhagen, Willie Wilson, Amos Otis, etc.

Mr. K passed on and things went to heck in a handbasket. Trying to see some sunshine with the current team, but believe me, it sucks!!!!

A good friend of ours a Chris Lubanski plays for the AAA Omaha Royals. Got drafted out of HS. Struggling a little but only 24 years old. He played many years with us in AAU and travel baseball. A very nice family too. We hope he makes it. The Royals have a very nice "clean" ballpark.

The Washington Nationals have sucked for the past 4 years. They are 40 games below .500 this season and it isn't improving. Got a nice new ball park but the team can't field a winning group.....Should of kept Frank Robinson instead of dumping him the way they did....Attendence is dropping this year which isn't good. When Camden Yards opened back in '91, used to head over to Charm city to watch the O's quite a bit. That stadium was always at or near capacity for the following years....Not so with DC's new stadium. Unless the wins start coming the fans are going to stop going. The owners of the team have already with held rent payments to the city....it's just gonna get worse~

Being a Cubs fan hurts, its like losing your dog..... I`ve been a loyal true hearted fan since a youngster. My Dad took me to my first game in 1973. I`ve been to as many as 10 opening day games. So many disappointment....but what can I say? I love them. Our day will come!

Dan.

Being a Military brat I never had a home team. So I picked mine. I have been following Boston since I can remember.

Anyway, I feel for you Dan, my whole childhood and adult life ended in another crappy Oct. Until 2004. Hang in there.

Oh yeah...Steinbrenner and the likes of Boras.......ah forget it.

Was at the Pit, Brewer game last night. No big deal really, when you have the World Champion Steelers and Penguins in the same town...BKH
