Do you dread watching this team right now?

[luismatos4prez]

I sat down every night for years and watched guys like Dwight Smith Jr, Brandon Fahey, Radhames Liz, and Kevin Gregg. A slumping first place team is nothing to me. This is a very good team and they'll be fine.

Can we close this thread now?

The team has been extremely tough to watch lately, but I turn on the TV each night hoping this is the day they start to get things turned around.  Fundamentally, I still believe this is one of the elite teams in baseball.   I’d be lying if I said that no doubts had crept into my mind, however.  I like the way this game is going so far (6-0 right now) but I haven’t forgotten what happened in Miami on Thursday.

If we hang on and win today I'm giving Roy the game ball. Roy and pessimistic threads generally mean Oriole wins- fingers crossed.  Go Birds. Love seeing crowds like today's. We must be doing something right.

It's a 162 game season, you don't have to watch every single game. Even as a fan, take a few days off if you want.

The thing I hate most about losing is that I have to wait around 22 hours until I can watch them try again. 

Four full games in a 48 hour period starting tomorrow afternoon!     The guys get a fast chance to flush all this.

I’ve been with my wife 21 years, it is a grind and some times are perfect and sometimes it feels hopeless. In the end, everything corrects.  I’m not going to ever get too down on this team and I will celebrate the good times.

I dread the 403 errors much more than watching the team play.

No, but I definitely dread reading a lot of doom-and-gloom posts on OH right now!

 

 

Understood, but to be fair, my comments when they play well, are almost embarrassingly positive.

I love you Roy, and your presence here is special.  But to borrow the words of John Patrick McEnroe.  YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS!!!

I don't dread watching them, but losses like yesterday afternoon/evening are just brutal.

[toughbuff1]

No, never. If I dreaded it I just wouldn't watch.

Is that the new projection for number of errors for Gunnar now?

I was having a serious case of deja vu as this game progressed.   I had to drive my son to the airport beginning in the bottom of the 8th and decided it would be too stressful to listen on the radio as I was driving.  Thank God I made that decision!  Listening to the top of the 9th would have been excruciating.
