The Twins were in the playoffs this year and lost the first game. Owen is a big fan but we didn't let him stay up to finish the game. When he woke up the next morning and asked who won and I told him the Yankees. He started bawling crying. I mean big alligator tears and everything. After drawing a chart to show him how they still had a chance to win, I calmed him down.
The next night he was able to watch the game but unfortunately it was another loss. This time Scott was home to witness Owen's grief. He went into melt down mode crying about how the Twins never win the playoffs. He was seriously beyond upset. I actually tried to video him freaking out because I didn't think anyone would believe me but when he caught me doing it, it just made him more mad.
Today when he learned the Twins lost again and were out, he took it surprisingly well. Scott was distracting him with chocolate chip pancakes when he delivered the news.
I think Scott LOVED seeing Owen so upset over the Twins. He's so happy one of his boys is that emotionally tied to baseball!
