I find it hard to get pumped up for games anymore. It's obvious but we need a win.
Yeah, not pumped. I sold my tickets for tonight's game.
It's so true. Despite the team's horrid play, we're still in the middle of a great playoff hunt with six team vying for the last four spots and you know what I'm not all that excited.
It's like the Mets the last few years. They have been in great playoff races but as a Met fan I haven't been excited because of their luckluster performances.
A lot more fun when your team is surging down the stretch than sinking.
