I was a Mets fan growing up on Long Island. LOVED the 86 team. But when they got rid of Carter and Mex and Dykstra and all the guys I grew up rooting for, and brought in Vince Coleman and Bobby Bonilla and a bunch of other assholes, I just couldn't bring myself to root for them any more. I've been a Pirate fan ever since I saw them against Atlanta in 91 and since I moved here they've become the object of my affection.
More of a long-range "team broke my heart story" than your typical "my team lost, waaa waaa waaa" kind of story.
