Does the Jays (Or another team)losing effect your mood?

[Metallijay]

I am by nature a person who goes into something 100%, this includes rooting and going for certain sports teams, the issue is at times I get really invested in their fates, and players, and when things go real bad (Like this year), it actually effects my mood, demeanor after. I wish I was a casual fan sometimes, who didn't get effected as much , but I am not. Is anyone like this? After watching the game last night I was in a bad mood, maybe I am mentally unstable lol.

Eh last time I got depressed over a sports team was the Raps losing in the 2006 playoffs.

Yep, I feel like s*** after a loss and have to go for a walk to clear my mind.

 

But then I'm fine the next day, because they could win the next game.

 

I'm the same way, fortunately I'm off to bed after most broadcasts so it doesn't last long.

At least I'm not alone. YEs by the next day usually it's back to normal, although certain loses can stay with me a bit longer.

No. I kept my hopes down in the offseason. It's really helped cope and stay emotionally detached.

That's not nice . I'm just passionate, and others are to apparently.

I actually thought you were a female poster and it was meant as a sexist comment. No real offense meant, goes back to an old poster named MetalJay

Following the rest of the majors and watching MiLB games and seeing that things aren't rosy everywhere else tempers any mood swings for me.

lol, no worries.

Losing to division rivals can be pretty irritating, particularly this year when there were actually expectations. But I know it's out of my control so I can usually brush it off pretty quickly. For games like the one tonight, I just do my best to remove my personal attachment to the team and watch it like any other baseball game.

[Clomero]

Not since I was in my mid-teens.

 

Once I agree with you

 

I cared a lot more when I was 16ish

This franchise doesnt deserve that level of commitment
