Take some advice from a long time Red Sox fan. Don't let this stuff do that to you. After the Sox blew it in 1986 I was very depressed for a while after and I'm not the type to be depressed about anything.

So I shook myself out of it and decided then and there, never again would I let myself get so emotionally attached. So, maybe I'm not quite so loyal a fan anymore but I sure do enjoy it more.

I am a philly sports fan and have done the same thing. Its still fun to cheer for a team, but getting mad and being sad about sports is just pointless.

And please, would the ridiculous Yankee homers just accept the fact that this team is A) not good, B) injured, and C) dont like playing together/for the yankees.

yes we're homers because we think that the yankees' pythag record suggests they're going to have a much better second half, or that at least half the yankee hitters hitting absurdly below projection/expectation will pick it up.

I mentioned this before, but sometimes you need to look deeper than the pythag. teams with bad bullpens (yankees) are going to lose lots of close games, which the pythag won't reflect.

however, I do think this Yankees team is better than their record suggests. they are far from the 97 win team that Vegas had listed, though.
