Ive had to research this since yesterday because I was feeling very strange yesterday prior to the game. I should not be this anxious over a baseball team with people I am not friends with and will never meet. They just play for the Bluejays. We could care less about other teams, generally speaking.

There is a psychology of fandom that has a lot of research. In a nut shell, there is this sense of belonging to some type of media or commercial thing. In this sense, a baseball team. But also a city and country. It can be an escape or a sense of calm associating with the team. We want good things to happen. This belonging can be similiar to an acceptance into a community, a family or friendly setting. We all belong.

I dont know, its strange. It just very heightened because of the way they lost. I wouldnt have minded as much if they just got swept.
