Which one of your teams causes you the most grief/stress? The Isles and Phins try so hard to cause me to stroke out. Thank God for the Atlanta Braves.
Honestly, they are my therapy.
What's the act that's made you the maddest at one of your teams?

The Bengals.
I'm beginning to think I've wasted 10+ years because they have no interest in changing the culture. They tease me every four seasons with a positive note and an indication that maybe they've got it, but then they fall back and disappear.
If I didn't have UK basketball (minus the Billy G disaster), I'd go nuts with my other teams. (Reds, Nets, Bengals, Colts being the lone exception).

The Bruins exist solely to shorten my lifespan. I didn't speak for days after last season. I wasn't even that upset when my dad died  |

If I listed every Isles or Phins transgression, I'd be here a while.

The Cardinals. How many times are we going to be in playoff contention just to collapse at the end of the season? Oh, and stop playing around with Pujols already. Give the man the money he wants so I don't have to worry about the million "this team is going to make a run at Pujols" articles that the Chicago Tribune puts out.

The Philadelphia Eagles, the team whose crippling incompetence in the most important moments alternated with explosions of impossible hypercompetence in the most USELESS moments...
Yeah.

1860 Munich Nearly bankrupt, basically no future, have to sell all their young talented players, then have a mediocre team that lose all the time and on top off that get cheated by the referees. There's a chance, the team cease's to exist after this season and if not, it will continue with mediocre games and selling all young talents to survive.  |

Blackhawks - Won the Stanley Cup last year
Bulls - Getting better every year, has Derrick Rose
Bears - In the NFC Championship game
Hoosiers - Basketball is slowly getting back to where it was, football took a step in the right direction hopefully with hiring Kevin Wilson
Fighting Irish - Had a great second half and is returning a lot of good, young players
So, the team I like that causes the most torment?
Cubs. Every year they give me hope and every year they disappoint. And there are only a handful of baseball teams that have it worse. Namely, any team that has yet to win a World Series. Luckily, I don't hate the White Sox, so I was able to enjoy their WS a few years ago to some degree.

in response to my Pacers comment here are just some of the facts:
A team with a great history that is poised to win a championship in the twilight of one of the greatest clutch shooters of all times career decides to enter the stands and throw punches at fans. From then on its been nothing but collapse, mediocrity, and arrests. From shootings at strip clubs to pushing your girlfriend down flights of stairs.

The Minnesota Vikings.
You think they have it, and they don't. A franchise since 1961 that has appeared in 4 Superbowl events...with 0 to show for it. One of the only teams to go 15-1 in a season and not make the Superbowl. One of the only teams to start a season 6-0, and not make the playoffs. A very loyal fanbase that will stick with the team even after a season like this past one and live through the pain of different heartbreaking games.
1999 NFC Championship Game. Gary Anderson couldn't miss in the 1998 season, shanks one in the NFC Championship game against the Falcons. The Vikes get the ball back with a little under 2 min left and are the #1 offense in the league, and decide to play for OT instead of the win. ATL gets the ball and hits the field goal for the win.
2010 NFC Championship game....It was there. For once in my life, I thought they got "over the hump" so to say. Ryan Longwell is money from anywhere inside of 55 yards. 50 yard field goal would have won the game. 12 men in the huddle...ouch. Favre INT when he could have just ran and set up the field goal...ouch. Let's also mention the 5 Turnovers during the game that should have just led us to get blown out. Saints win in OT.
This year was the biggest disappointment. 19 of 21 returning starters, you would think they would get it figured out. Lose first 2, don't bounce back, trade for moss, release moss, fire childress, dome collapse, home game in Detroit, blown out by Bears and Pack, loss to Detroit to finish season. And now we get the Bears vs. Packers in the NFC Championship game. Great for the NFL, biggest punch in the face for Vikings fans.

Usually the Knicks, but this year it's the Devils. It's just so frustrating seeing a team with so much talent failing so miserably.
The Giants also cause me grief. Especially this year with all the turnovers.
Though besides the Knicks, I've at least gotten to see my teams win championships at least once in my lifetime. The Giants won 3 Super Bowls (two I remember), the Yankees 5 World Series, and the Devils 3 Stanley Cups. I really feel for a city like Cleveland that has had such a long drought of any sort of championship.
