It's weird to me after all they've accomplished to take some meaningless game in the middle of June or July and talk about how much they suck or how the season is over. I'd say some of it's joking but I can tell many of them are serious.

I thought for a little while it might be stupid reverse mojo, but then people were actually saying shit like "I'm done" in both playoff runs. And it could be a defensive mechanism as mr. tegu says, but only to an extent... even if you're a little too pumped up for a baseball game in the middle of July, only so much negativity prepares you for a loss... it's one thing to have low expectations and vent, but being negative for 8 innings is not better than being angry at the end.
It's like when I lived in KC, I swear traffic was worse when it was cloudy and it hadn't even started raining.... people don't even wait for the rain to ruin their day around here, and the perfect example was in the bottom of the 10th.
