It’s generally true for any sunbelt franchise, it’s just different than in the Northeast. Most people here in DFW came from somewhere else and keep their old allegiances, I’ve lived here for 20 years, and while I’d rather see the Cowboys do well than not, the Detroit Lions (thank you for your condolences) will always be my team. This season was probably the first time I truly rooted for the Rangers more than the Tigers. The Rangers have for the time being changed a lot of things with their success, but they have to follow it up. But by now I’m afraid it’s “World Series or Bust” for the fans, and if the Rangers are out of it, nobody will care.
Don't worry about my Pirates though. We're just on a two decade slump. Give us one more decade.
Dear God, why did you make me like baseball?
