Here is a thread. Use it to post about how your favorite team sucks

God help me, our bullpen is terrible. Why are we paying Brett Cecil $30M? WHY?

or does not suck.

Mike Leake somehow leads the NL in ERA among starters. Lance Lynn is 3rd I think. What the hell?

Or how other teams suck or do not suck.

My god the Pirates and Giants are bad so far this season.

Huh, runs scored on an error don't count as an RBI. Makes sense, but I didn't know that. Still, 4 RBI's in a game from your pitcher isn't anything to complain about.

Broxton was literally my least favorite Cardinal until Cecil came along. Now there's competition.

That shot of me looking miserable on the broadcast of the 2015 NLDS Game 4 was, if memory serves, me complaining to my dad about how terrible Broxton was. I've had legal opinions written and published based on briefings that I won. I've met presidents, senators and Supreme Court justices. I've been a member of a national-champion sports team. The most publicized moment in my life will always be me expressing my complete disdain for Jonathan Broxton.
