The 11 Stages Of Watching Your Favorite MLB Team Fall Behind

It happens sometimes. A team can't possibly win its division every year. However, this cruel understanding does little for a fan's emotional stability watching their favorite MLB team fall behind. We are a month into baseball season, and the standings are starting to get set. This is how it plays out in a fan's head.

1. April 1st hits and you're so excited for your team to pick up where it left off last season.

2. You watch the first couple of games and their record isn't starting off well. But its fine they have time its only been a week.


3. Then they start to win a couple games and everything seems okay.


4. But then they get sweeped in the next series...


5. And you're starting to stress...


6. You might even take it out on some innocent bystanders.


7. You try not to worry because you realize you can't do anything about it.


8. But you feel like you have an obligation that you have to fight for your team.


9. Eventually they get so far behind that you wonder if they are in little league.


10. You hit a point where you just want to give up on your team and baseball in general.


11. But you know you can't do that because the good times are so good and there's no team like yours.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
