[QUOTE="Half Empty, post: 742924, member: 10288"] First, I didn't feel compelled, but I thought I'd get my two cents in. Didn't know only the person you're hammering can respond. Second, I don't think you re-phrased the question but pretty much re-stated it, and therefore I still don't understand. You appear to assume that, once the season is determined to be gone, those who feel so should check out, no longer follow the team, and are wasting their time if they don't quit on it. Wrong. As elsewhere, I followed them through the Gory years, knowing from the get-go that they wouldn't win it all (or even a significant portion of it) but still tracking their fortunes. You sound pretty much like the classic definition of a fair-weather fan - once you know the objective is lost, it's time to go. When the season is gone is clearly an individual and subjective term. For me, anything short of a SB is failure, so when that goal is beyond reach, the season is gone. Doesn't mean, of course, that I won't be interested in what happens and will stop coming here and elsewhere to debate, just that, with the expectations this team has had for a long time, there's no point in settling.
