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.
I feel your pain. I really do. Add in fielding errors on routine ground balls and baserunning errors (I get angry just typing that) and you've got your 2006 Chicago Cubs.

Take solace in the fact that you're not a Yankees fan. Or a Kansas City fan.
