It’s not fun to lose ever, but it’s really not fun to lose when:

* Their guys made three errors and your guys still couldn’t get the job done.

* Your guys were 3-for-11 with runners in scoring position.

* Your hot-hitting first baseman was on maternity leave.

* Your hot-hitting second baseman should have been in bed with Nyquil.

* Your manager was stuck with a makeshift lineup.

* Your starting pitcher held the other guys to a respectable three runs over seven innings.

* Your cleanup hitter knocked in a game-tying homer for naught.

* Your guys pushed the game into extras, only to go quickly in the 10th.

* Your god of closers decided to be human and give up a walkoff single.

* Your guys were at the other guys’ ballpark and you had to watch their fans celebrating.

* You were forced to listen to the MLB Network’s commenters say, like 16 times, that this game was a preview of the playoffs.

* You looked in your freezer and realized you were out of the best thing you’ve ever tasted.
