I might buy that if they hadn't went with "Our Time" as their slogan and they weren't well within reach of 1st place even after a 12 game losing streak and inconsistant play over all. If they really think this is a throw away year at this point and won't improve the team from here then I was wrong all along and others were right saying they don't care about winning.
