I have realized how much of a fanatic I am tonight

[padrefanforever]

I'm in full support of that..........as far as I'm concerned.......at this stage of this season, there is only one silver lining........#1 overall pick........fail to get that and this season is a total waste

[riverdunesrat]

Shit, you didn't see me bragging about being a fanatic when I was still posting game threads while DePo was on his way out as GM of a 71-91 team. And the thought of tanking to get the #1 pick crossed your mind?

That's cuz yer a Dodger fan.....LOL and the Dodgers suck. BUT, guess what? I am hoping the Dogs stick it out and eliminate the D'bags outta the top spot and the playoffs. That would make up for the Pads sucky season at least...

[riverdunesrat]

Sorry.

Got a tad touchy there.

Definitely not a front runner, though.

Drunk huh? Well, I've certainly never come onto the boards drunk and said stupid shit....

Real Dodger fans don't jump on the Angels bandwagon, unlike some Padre fans here.

Real Dodger fans knife people in the bleachers

Where the damn hell have you been? I blame you for bringing me to these boards to

Busy,

Whats wrong with a Padres fan also being an Angels fan?

They're not even in the same league. Theres nothing wrong with rooting for a team thats actually doing something when yours is doing jack-shit.

That's no correction. You're just replacing a fact with a fact.

Mofo thinks that if you spend time rooting for anyone else when your team is not doing anything it somehow makes you less of a fan of the team you really root for.

I think J Five would agree with that.

I know plenty of Dodger fans that root for the Angels also.......so I disagree....I replaced what I think is a false idea with a fact

I don't see how pulling for another team when your team isn't doing anything degrades from your loyalty to your team in any way.

It's not as though I'd root for the Angels if they played the Padres or anything.

Furthermore, it's not as though I'd really care too much if they lose.

And it's not as though rooting for the Angels in the playoffs this year would make me any less ecstatic if the Padres managed to pull it off next year.

I still have a closet full of Padres and Chargers paraphernalia so I don't think I need to validate my loyalty to either team to anyone.

And yes, mofo, I know I posted this thread. But before you say it, this thread wasn't about validation. This thread was about a drunken Padres fan being astonished at his own actions.

Everyone keeps talking about a disgruntled fan rooting for another team while their team of choice is down.

That is not me.

I root for Pads and Angels no matter what. They are both my teams. I have heard people on other boards say that people can't root for two teams and that it is not right. TFB I say, cuz they're both my teams.

If it came down to them facing each other, say in a championship game, I don't think it would matter to me which would win. I do think I would be pulling for the Pads as they were my first team. But the fact is, I don't know for sure how I would react until that moment came.

Another pattern I have developed is allegiance to players from my teams. In this day of constant trading for no apparent reason other than to trade, I find myself rooting and maintaining the allegiance to ex-players well on into their future teams. Some may call that wrong also. TFB there again.

You may know plenty of fairweather Dodger fans who root for the Angels, but that's it.
