It's because their start raised the expectations to the point where you expect them to dominate every night. Instead you've gotten a .500ish team since mid May. Like I've said in past game threads almost every good team goes through a long stretch of .500 ball. The hope is they will hit their stride again in August and cruise to the playoffs well yeah, we have an awesome team, which is why it's less fun when they're simply okay for long stretches. i think we should be wrecking fools but it just never seems to happen that way, and we slowly drift farther away from the record we thought/hope they'd have.
