This is why I never got excited

You're the one who said people don't get it.

This has run its course. Go M's. 24/7 365

Yeah, I was specifically referring posts that were assuming that I root for the M's to lose, that I want to be miserable, or that it's part of the plan when other teams slump but the sky is falling when it's the M's. That's why I asked you what you thought I meant.

Obviously those responses don't get the tongue in cheek nature of the thread that does have some truth to it when looking at the organization over a span of decades and being reminded of Bill Murray in Groundhogs Day

I'm half messing with you, I don't actually believe you want them to lose. Apologies

These effers have been breaking our hearts since 77, it's maddening to say the least.

I think that this thread goes to the very heart of being a sports fan, and how people deal with the inevitable disappointment that comes with signing up to root for a team.

I don't think we can ultimately control how we respond emotionally to wins and losses. It's sort of at the heart of who we are as a person.

I do think that things have changed over time. People seem more passionate about sports, and that's both good and bad. I think that the attitude that only a championship signifies a successful season, and that everyone else is a loser is a fairly recent trend, that only helps make people more unhappy.

I'm not taking sides in this debate, I think it's very difficult to change our reactions to these things. But it does seem very Seattle-like to complain when your team is in first place, just as people are very unhappy with a Seahawks team that finished the last three seasons with winning records. I think that a 9-8 or 10-7 record is a sports fan's Rorschach test on whether you're a glass half empty or a glass half full guy.

^^^ wrong thread or is it ?

Nobody cares about winning records except Seattle fans I swear. It's so cringe. Make the playoffs or bust. Simple as.

1 division title in a quarter century for the Ms. Enough said.

Angie said the Yankees series was a moral victory. Lmfao. This franchise.

Angie is a complete joke. Don’t even get me started.

When the m’s lose the first thing I do is shut the tv off and cuss them out and complain about how they suck and they should all go to triple A and Jerry’s a bum. The next thing I do is see what time tomorrow’s game is on GO M’S!!
