Maddening, frustrating, aggravating ...until it isn't.

ATD….I still have it. About 25 years. 

A Xanax and a few beers and you don’t care about much of anything. Maybe you have a tolerance.

@Roy Firestone is speaking my love language.

Why can't this team just jump all over inferior opponents like the Skanks and Phillies do? I get that these inferior teams sometimes have good starters, but their crappy record is crappy for a reason. Contrary to most, I still think this team's biggest issue is the inconsistent offense and the reliance too much on the HR. That maybe nets you 90+ wins in the regular season but it will not work in the playoffs. Its also infuriating that they seem to not make any in game adjustments. Then there is Hyde's weird obsession w/ veterans instead of letting guys like Stowers get more playing time.

I won't stop watching/following though. Been a fan for almost 50 years. Not gonna stop now.

And as for the negativity in game threads, it's part of being a fan and letting off some steam. This is one of the few places I can do that.. no offense taken if folks want to mute me. I don't see it anyway.

To me you judge a MLB team in the end by their record.  The Orioles are a better team than the White Sox because their Won loss record is better.  We just swept a major league team in their ballpark, but for some people we didn’t beat them by enough runs.    Brandon Hyde is not obsessed with veterans because of any other reason they have a proven track record.  No one knows here if Stowers was playing everyday he would be doing any better than any of the veterans Hyde is supposedly obsessed with.  Fans are obsessed with “backup quarterbacks” and young unproven players.

well …. I haven’t mixed it with alcohol in years. To be honest, I am aware of and have never wanted to be addicted to anything. My average usage is 2-3 tablets per month.
