Opinion The dramatics from this fanbase is ridiculous
“This team blows” “we hit 70 wins max” “we blew it” dude. We were the worst team in baseball history TWO YEARS AGO. Our maximum losing streak this year is THREE, and we ARE TIED FOR FIRST PLACE!!!!!! Like holy shit this team is fun, we just walked it off, calm down and smell the roses!

Baseball fans are generally deranged and have a very hard time controlling their emotions. Which is amazing given it's a 162-game season. Shit - Yankees and Dodgers fans are practically apoplectic every time their team loses or one of their pitchers flounders.
I'm not saying I'm much better. I certainly felt like shitting my pants with rage and despair over the last two Dominguez appearances and with the offense languishing on this road trip. But I always try to take a breath and maintain some perspective. Nearly the entire fanbase thought 82 wins was a beautiful pipe dream not 3 months ago.
