I think we all feel like this, so I don't get the whole "you can't handle the truth" thing. I haven't been arguing we will make the payoffs. I haven't disagreed with anything.
When someone says we are toast, you seem to criticize them for already giving up, so I asked if you have given up, and you go off on some tangent about me not being able to handle the truth.
We are the worst team in baseball after 10 games.
I mentioned we are just 3-4 games behind being okay and a playoff contender, by the numbers. That's not the same as saying I think we will make the playoffs, or we are playing well enough to still have a shot. That's not even close to my position.
My position is that we have sucked. We have played worse than my expectations, but we are not out of it, yet. I'm not sure why you cant say yes or no to simple sentence, but it's been your MO all along.
