not a true blue then. We should hope that they win 29 in a row make the wild card and Dusty (as much as I dislike him) proves all of us wrong. That's not being a fan, that's blind loyalty. Anyone can be blindly loyal to a team. It takes a true fan to recognize what's best for a team, and hope for that. so there is a definition now for a fan?? Where is it wikapedia? It isn't blind it is hopeful. I recognize that dusty stinks as a manager. I also recognize we don't live up to the potential any of these guys have. To hope for a win from you favorite team is not to much to ask, is it? I understand how you might feel that way if you aren't a lover of baseball and in comes college football/pro and "boom" you are excited about those teams. My summers revolve around baseball and care little for any other team sport. Grant me my moment of dreaming, non-reality. I enjoy it, along with the other voices in my head. (I should not have said you weren't a true blue though)
