text: since the u.s. team lost in the world series of baseball competition, i seem to have lost interest in watching did baseball lose fans because of our team not medaling ? nope. in fact, im pretty sure it agined fans. ad it gained players from different countries. the mlb is so different from the wbc, it couldnt change the way i look at the mlb.  ive been a knicks, jets, mets and rangers fan since im on this earth. and besides for 94 ( rangers) and 86( mets) it has been a sort of hell-hole to be a fan of those teams. but even thugh they lose, i stay strong. stay strong for the americans and soon enough youll get rewarded with good play.
