They're done?!?!

For fans suffering through decades of bad baseball, it is pathetic that more fans can't root for the team when they are less than a handful of games out of the playoffs with more than a month left. Meaningful games in the last month of the season for the first time in a long time, and the fans decide to just quit instead of celebrating the excitement. Throw in the towel. What a great way to enjoy the best baseball season in years here.

Baseball is a sport for optimists. Every day a new chance. Every spring brings new hope. We'll get 'em tomorrow, and when there aren't any more tomorrows in a season we'll get 'em next year. Not here where hope dies eternal. It's like we can't wait to call the season dead each year and get to the fun part of bashing the team. Well this year the fun part is on the field.
