[QUOTE="SuperTFrog, post: 3149266, member: 73041"] I stopped beating this drum for the most part because nobody is going to change. I am convinced the constant negativity is related to one of two things: 1) They never played sports at a high level so have no appreciation for how hard it is and how good our players are. The guy who yells “How could you swing at that” or “how could you miss that? It was right down the middle” has probably never faced a guy throwing harder than 65 mph in little league where he was the 11 hole hitter (because everybody bats). 2) They are trying to protect themselves from emotional vulnerability because it hurts when you get your hopes up and then they get crushed. It is so much safer to expect the worst and be pleasantly surprised because there is no emotional risk to that. Go Frogs. As usual, we have a hell of a baseball team. [/QUOTE]
