Now this is what being a sports fan is all about...at least most of the time.

The Yankees faced off against the Red Sox last night in the rubber match of their series, and took a one run lead into the ninth inning. With one out in the inning, the Yanks' hard-throwing lefty Aroldis Chapman gave up a solo shot to Red Sox rookie Rafael Devers to tie the game.

Luckily for us, Twitter user Joezmcfly was filming his own reaction, saying the stadium is as electric as it's been all year. That is until....

This video is the perfect representation of what being a sports fan is all about. The first half represents hope and optimism. The idea that your team will pull through and win the big game. They're gonna do it! I love this team! Nothing means more to me than this team right now!

Whereas the last half represents the more common reality of being a sports fan: heartbreak. Your team sucks and has lost, just like they always do. Lousy team. Why do you waste your time watching this garbage team every year? Goddammit.
