It\u2019s tough to argue any MLB franchise has suffered more heartbreak than Cleveland, which has gone 73 years and counting without a World Series title. There has been no shortage of close calls, as 1997, 2007, and 2016 left plenty of broken dreams in their wake. Not to mention, the identity crisis experienced by Jesus of Suburbia as he walks the lonely roads and ultimately becomes his alter ego, St. Jimmy, parallels the former Indians\u2019 transformation into the new Guardians identity (now that they\u2019ve gotten past that lawsuit).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MPL: \u201cI walk a lonely road\/The only one that I have ever known \u2026 I walk this empty street\/On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tigers may still be a year or two away from true contention, but like young, talented volcanoes, they should be ready to erupt with success before too long. \u201cYoung Volcanoes\u201d is about FOB\u2019s reinvention of themselves after their hiatus, and Detroit is doing the same following a hiatus from the playoffs. Also, tigers fit right in with the track\u2019s ancient Roman, Colosseum theme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MPL: \u201cBefore it has begun\/We\u2019ve already won\/We are wild\/We are like young volcanoes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a song about looking back fondly on the good memories and lamenting the passing of time, the Royals seem like the best fit here. Things just haven\u2019t been the same since their mid-2010s glory days that led to a championship. The overall pleasant demeanor of the song, however, reflects that Kansas City fans still have a lot to be thankful for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MPL: \u201cOh, don\u2019t you wonder when the light begins to fade?\/And the clock just makes the colors turn to grey\/Forever younger, growing older just the same\/All the memories that we make will never change.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Minnesota Twins: \u201cWhere Did the Party Go\u201d by Fall Out Boy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Twins were certainly partying in 2019, when their explosive Bomba Squad offense shattered the single-season team home run record. This party disappeared abruptly in 2021, however, and the team\u2019s future is uncertain. Minnesota\u2019s old aches of losing seem to have become new again, meaning they may trade some of their players and turn them into exes. Maybe one day they\u2019ll win a playoff game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MPL: \u201cMy old aches become new again\/My old friends become exes again\/Woah, where did the party go?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
