I feel bad in some ways that I have made my kids into such huge Mariners fans, sort of like setting them up for disappointment their whole lives BUT, if the Mariners ever win a World Series I promise I will appreciate it more than any Yankees fan appreciates any one of their 30 or 40 they have won!
My 10 year old son was Dustin Ackley for Halloween (his decision) and I was so proud!

I'm in the same boat as an Astros fan, so in 2013 we can start being miserable together. But even just getting close was huge - 2004 and 2005 I got to see a few playoff games in Atlanta, and it was quite thrilling. Fans of bad teams need less in order to get excited. I still remember the excitement of the '69 season when the Astros battled the Braves up until the last month - they even printed World Series tickets, just to be ready (I have some). That was also the year that the Cubbies caved in to the Mets.
