I Wanna Be Down - Everybody loves a winner...and more bandwagon fans are likely to ride with the Chicago Cubs, who have transformed from unloveable losers to baseball's new boys of summer.

What's worse is the Cubs aren't the only team gaining bandwagon fans by the minute. Check out some other squads winning games and fans. —By Mark Lelinwalla(Photo: Stephen Dunn/Getty Images)

New York Mets - Oh, yeah...you're a New York Mets fan now? Where were you when the Mets were not-so-Amazin'? Did you stay down when the ball club posted losing records the past six years? With arguably the best starting rotation in Major League Baseball, the Mets are garnering plenty of new fans who are turning up at Citi Field. How winning changes things. [Cough] Front-runner.

Toronto Blue Jays - Drake isn't the only person making Toronto proud this summer. The Toronto Blue Jays boast baseball's most lethal offense and the mid-season acquisition of shortstop Troy Tulowitzki and pitcher David Price gave a real boost to their World Series chances. If you're in cities such as New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Detroit and find yourself suddenly rooting for the Blue Jays...be ashamed of yourself. You've been outed as the bandwagon fan you are.

Miami Heat - Hey, we see all you fair-weather fans who defected from South Beach when LeBron James took his talents back to Cleveland last summer. After a strong off-season, which included re-signing Goran Dragic and Dwyane Wade, we see y'all trying to creep back in. Any returning Heat fans must know what we know. Miami is a legit roadblock standing in the way of the Cavs' NBA title dreams. (Photo: Mike Ehrmann/Getty Images)

Milwaukee Bucks - If you're paying attention, you see that coach Jason Kidd is building something special with the Milwaukee Bucks. The line to get down with the Bucks' new winning ways is about as long as Giannis Antetokounmpo's wingspan. (Photo: Jason Miller/Getty Images)
