It’s been a painful year, but it’ll get better. For some of you. *Tries not to look Cleveland in the eye*
New York Giants fans.
Where do I start? This is not a fan base you should EVER have any sympathy for because they've won two Super Bowls in the past five years. But that didn’t stop them from declaring that Eli Manning is washed up and Tom Coughlin should be fired around Week 3 of the season. Giants fans are frustrated because they’re always frustrated, unless they’re winning a Super Bowl — which I repeat is quite often. Still, even I have to admit it was a bad year for them.

Washington Nationals fans.
After finishing the regular season with the best record in baseball in 2012, the Nationals entered the playoffs with hot bats and a stacked pitching staff and had the St. Louis Cardinals dead and buried in NLDS — but let the series get away from them. It was a tough loss, but there was no reason why fans should have expected anything different in 2013. Stephen Strasburg, arguably the best pitcher in the game, was back with no innings limit. Brash young star Bryce Harper hit two home runs in the first game of the season! This was their year! But it wasn’t. Harper got injured and the bats were mostly ice-cold, while the pitching staff wasn’t as dominant as 2012. After being declared World Series favorites, the Nationals didn’t even make the playoffs.
