HOUSTON - The 2024 MLB season is in full swing. Some teams expected to contend are contending (Atlanta, Philadelphia, Los Angeles (Dodgers), Baltimore). Some teams expected to suck, suck (Colorado, Chicago White Sox). Some things are constant (everyone hating the Yankees, everyone hating the fans of the Yankees, everyone hating the Red Sox, who also hate the Yankees, everyone hating that the Yankees are playing well this year, the Angels wasting Mike Trout, which is disappointing, but not as hated like the Yankees, etc).
Then you have the Houston Astros. They expected to be in the mix for another World Series, adding to its bill of hatred, much like the hatred for the Yankees, who hate that they can’t beat the Astros, except when they can, then everyone hates the Yankees as much as they hate the Astros, and then people hate themselves for that, and we.
