After the complete collapse of the Blues last season, I found myself wondering if I was going to be a Blues fan this year. I've been a Blues fan since '84 or '85, and no matter what state I moved to over the years, I stayed a Blue note. But last year's playoff disaster really put a bad taste in my mouth.
Well, of course, I stayed a Blues fan for this year, but I've had no expectations for the team. I didn't even think they'd make the playoffs. And here they are. Since my indifference seems to be the lucky rabbit's foot for the team this season, I'm leaning towards cautious indifference for their chances in the playoffs. I'll ramp up to rabid, frothing-at-the-mouth Blues monkey when they get into the championship series.
