Ladies: Here Are 9 Easy Ways To Comfort Your Man When His Favorite Sports Team Loses

SPORTS  ·  Jun 22, 2024

Nothing can send an otherwise well-adjusted man into a sudden tailspin of depression quite like his favorite sports team losing. Ladies, here are nine ways you can comfort your man when such a tragedy unfolds:

  • Remind him that it's just a game: This will help put things back in perspective.

  • Ask him again which team lost and by how much: He needs to process this.

  • Stand in front of the screen for the last 5 minutes of the game and ask if he wants to talk about his feelings: Obviously, he has some things he needs to express.

  • Be super, extra cheerful to help offset his sadness: This will right the ship in no time.

  • Tell him you're very sorry about his team not getting the golden snitch or whatever, now pass the wine: Empathy is so important.

  • Remind him that his team's all-star third baseman with a career WAR over 50 who's been on the IL since April did great in his AAA rehab start and is close to activation: You won't believe how his eyes will light up.

  • Ask if now is a good time to talk about getting off birth control: This will be a welcome distraction.

  • Tell him it's too bad about the large men in another city not hitting the ball with the stick better: Let him know you really care.

  • Ask him why he doesn't just root for a better team: Help him see the error of his foolish, foolish ways.

Follow these nine easy steps, and your man will beat the post-loss doldrums in no time!

Many years ago when I was married to the world's greatest Rams fan, I found him intolerable to be around if the Rams didn't play well. One Sunday I left the apartment and drove around L.A. to keep from having to listen to him. During my excursion, I spotted some apartments in Burbank that looked interesting, so I stopped and looked at a couple of floor plans. I went home and told hubby that I'd found a new place for us and that we were moving. He didn't give me any grief. The apartments were up on a mountain/hill and had a MAGNIFICENT view of the SF Valley. It was away from the congestion of L.A. And besides, I'd already made up my mind that we were moving. See what being an over-the-top fan cost him that day?! LOL :silly:

There's a lot to be said about performance stats when you are on a great hitting team.

Case in point, watching today's Jay's - Astros game,  as big a George Springer fan that I was, I've noticed he's devolved into a <1 WAR $24M a year player in Toronto. Ouch!!!!

If the M's lose tonight, we are one back.

#1.  Sorry we could not accommodate tonight.

#2.  And it seems, you guyz sweeping my Orioles has given birth to some confidence in your clubhouse.

#3.  I'm hoping that the O's can keep winning 6 or 7 out of every ten games for the entire 2nd half.  IMO, they're using sleight-of-hand right now.  Freaking Kimbrel is going to send me to Urgent Care and our bullpen is bleeping, bleeped!

Well, the Orioles let us down, so we'll just have to keep climbing up to the top until we can overtake them. But I'll tell you what I'm enjoying -- watching the Rangers slip further down the list as the days and weeks go by. I keep their score pinned to my phone and monitor the ups and downs of the game. Last year, it didn't seem to matter how far behind they got, they were almost always able to close the gap and pull ahead. Not so much this year. Does an Astros fan's heart good.  :whistle:

I'm proud of our guys. They have found something to work with, and I don't know what or why but I'm delighted. They're looking like the Houston Astros now. I pray it continues.

I think our 'stros this year, got the good fortune to be in the weakest divison this year.  Right now with 7th best record, they'll get to see how to deal with the playoffs without a bye.  Granted, after that start, I didn't think they'd have enough spot good pitching performances to pull it off?  And DCP's lament of bullpen?  Should have watched us April/May....   Pathetic.

The Red Sox will walk the razor's edge of winning a wildcard spot for the rest of the season ... just to give Red Sox fans agita.

After 105 games played for most teams, there is only 1 team still playing .600 baseball in the MLB...Philadelphia Phillies!

Pointing this out because a little more than 1 week ago, there were 5:  Orioles/Yankees/Cleveland/Phillies/Dodgers

Anyone else noticing the attendance in Oakland.  They've had like a dozen games where the crowd was 3-5K.

On know most of it, is the local fans giving the team the finger for moving to Vegas.  Still.....  just 3,000?

@DCPatriot

Yeah well, big deal! They didn't come through for us (Astros) when we needed them to.* They have been twice defeated by the Mariners. And now they're under 600. So don't come in here bragging about your Phillies when they are getting defeated by a team vying for top position in the AL-West, easily the least impressive division in MLB this year. Go away.  ****slapping







*Not making excuses for the 'Stros. They need to get the job done in their own games. But every team knows their standing is a combination of their wins and the other divisional teams' losses. I had this series (Mariners vs. Phillies) chalked up in my brain as 3 losses for Mariners.  :shrug:

On the plus side, watching those games has been more pleasant this year what with the silencing of the banging drums.

ROFL!  @AllThatJazzZ

I'm not a Phillies Phan!  Eff the Phillies!!

My Orioles have been playing .500 ball since the break.

And don't get me started on their infield "defense"... Keee-ryst!  If I was the manager, I'd throw every damned X-BOX out the hotel windows and tell them to take an extra 125 grounders and pop-ups every day!

This is supposed to the The Show....the major leagues and they give us a steady diet of Little League bullshit.
