The request we're sending to bloggers of all 30 teams this spring is a simple one: What are the 10 best things about being a fan of your favorite team? What features of the franchise have you excited for opening day and what keeps you coming back year after year? As we progress with our little experiment, we're glad to hear that so many of you are enjoying the ride. Up next is Jay Busbee , the Atlanta-based proprietor of fellow YSB blogs, Devil Ball Golf and From The Marbles . 1.

Oh, don't get me wrong, losing five straight to end the season makes me want to puke, but at least we've got company. If you've gotta go down, take someone bigger with you.
