Yes, but the negativity is there even when the team is winning 105 games. *That's* what I can't figure out. I can only blame Steinbrennerism, the obsessive desire to win every game by at least 10 runs, be 10 games in front by the end of April, and then slowly pull away from the pack.haltz wrote:That's simply not true.

Because this team probably isn't going to be very good. It's not a hard concept.I'll never figure out why negativity=realism on these forums.
Such is modern sports fandom - the insistence on winning as if it's somehow *owed* to the fan.
