As a Baseball Fan do you have High expectation of your team

Question

I was thinking somebody here asked what it is to root for a good team.

As a Yankee Fan i expect a lot from my Yankees, i get mad when they don't have success, not because they dint try, but because i know what they can accomplish , they know the standard they are held up on and i know they can have success

Answer 1

I think yankees fans hold them to the highest standards of any team in any sport! I think you need to also because it isnt ok to just make the playoffs!

Answer 2

haha yes all yankees fans expect to win it all every year.

Answer 3

No, not really.  My highest expectations for the Royals are a .500 record and one player on the team with 20+ homers.

Answer 4

i can't have high expectations for my team because the owners will never spend any money to make them better. They just rely on their farm system and getting rookie players or old has beens.

So I watch the Johnny Damons and Carlos Beltrans come up as rookies and become superstars and go to another team because the Royals owners wont spend any money to keep them or on someone that could help them win their division.

Mike Avilas and Soria will be the next rookies that comes up through the Royals orginization as super stars and leave for another team.

It's really tough seeing this year after year for the past decade.  

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

In baseball, absolutely. Even though I'm realistic about the Yankees, I still expect excellence from them. After 13 straight seasons of playoff baseball and with a team as talented as they have, I expect them to make the playoffs.

As for my other teams...

Jets: Um....no. Jets fans know better than to expect too much, even in good seasons.

Knicks: Are you joking?

Rangers: Yeah. Even if the Penguins and Canadiens are better, the Rangers should be competing for a Stanley Cup.

Syracuse football: *insert laugh track here* d**n, this program has fallen off.

Syracuse basketball: Just make the NCAA tourney and I'm good.  

Answer 7

I'm the same as you. I was born in '88, so the worst years of my team were past me. I grew up on nothing but success from my team (Atlanta Braves). When we didn't win the division in 2006, I was pissed. I also get angry if we go on any kind of real losing streak. This season, watching the injuries completely dismember our team has been really hard, especially since we had so much potential. This was the year we were supposed to reclaim the division and even go to the World Series. So yes, I'm the same way. I know what my boys can accomplish. I know they're a better team than they show sometimes. So, I have extremely high expectations from my team. A season when we don't at least win the division is a losing season in my mind. I expect us to win the NL East every year (we did for 14 straight, which were the years I was growing up...so I've only had that as what I know until the last 3 years), and then go through and win the World Series. Division comes first though...we can win the World Series from that point.

Answer 8

As a yanks fan i expect great success. I mean they have won 26 and its been 8 years since they have won a world series, so as a dedicated fan i feel they are in a slump. Going to the postseason is ok with me, I dont feel they should have fired Torre for not have won the whole thing, but if they had given him this lineup last year i feel they could have. I expect them to win every game, i know thats unrealistic because people take time off, but they have a great farm system and players who step up and perform. I just want them to win so the Sox fans shut up about "Red Sox Nation", becuase its the most absurd thing i have ever heard before.  

Answer 9

no

Answer 10

I expect the Yankees to win the WS every year. Doesn't matter what everyone else is predicting. I know what they're capable of, even in "rebuilding" years.
