I REALLY think it's time for you to just stop being a fan. It's for the best.

I see that Crow gave up another three run home run. He was fools gold this season.

Actually Dyson and the rest of them care about it. By the way, he was out. It will be fun to watch even the true fans turns on these guys.

On the bright side that is only the second series lost in May. Bad side is all of our series loses have been to AL Central teams.

[DJJasonp]

I really....REALLY....want this team to succeed.

And I've paid attention

I've bought into the hype

I really took notice when a few sportswriters penciled us into a playoff spot pre-season

But I - yet again - must just be a sucker.

Moose is the better hitter than Hayes. Just let that sink in for a second.

We knew Hayes wouldn't be worth a crap... but Moose is just pathetic.

Assuming its solid I'll choose the poop.

Dyson hits better than Moose. So does Boni...........

I don't know what we did, but a couple decades ago we clearly angered the baseball Gods somehow. Its getting cruel at this point, they really should have mercy on us by now.

[KevB]

Same as it ever was.....get a few runs and pitching falls apart, pitch well and can't score. Mark of a mediocre team. At least we're no longer 100 loss laughingstock we have been for much of the last couple of decades. I guess that's going to be the best we can hope for.

Hayes doesn't hit worse than Al Bundy.

1985 World Series. Something we did screwed us. Starting with losing Dick Howser, Bo blowing his hip out, the 1989 season, the 1994 strike season - when were loaded for a run with that bad ass pitching staff.

Hayes doesn't even have a ****ing hit on the year. Moose blows but he has at least a ****ing hit.
