You know what sucks?
When your team is supposed to do poorly, and you prepare yourself for a season of building for the future.
Then they start out hot, and even though you enjoy seeing them do well, you know it won't last, and still are set in building mode.
Then they keep it up by winning close games and making comebacks that they have no right to make, but you see the major flaws and the players playing over their heads, and so you still keep that mindset.
Then all of a sudden everything bad starts happening at once. The comebacks fall just short, the pitching falls apart, and you start losing to worse teams. And no matter how you have kept your mind and heart separated throughout the season and fully expected what is happening, you still end up feeling upset and angry and shitty all at once.
Ugh.
