Unlike my girl Diana, this is not the sweetest hangover – this is the WORST kind of hangover!

While I hold no ill will towards those gents in black and gold, I can’t help but wallow in my loss.
It got me thinking about championships and fandom- more specifically what impacts us more, the wins or losses?
Winning the NL East three years running? Smoking hot.
That’s Troy Tulowitzki in the first picture and Johnny Damon in the second. Sorry, these aren’t too amazing… yet. It’s up to you to do something radtastic with them.
