If people feel that there has been a lot of negative talk or that people are down on the team I would respectfully disagree. I think many fans have been disappointed but still think that this is a talented team that shoudl be competing with the best of the AL. If it is pointed out that is not the case and that perhaps they are playing to their talent level it isn't exactly meant with open minds.

But it is your team and you should be defensive when people point out the flaws obvious or not.

So it was just a backhanded shot at posters like me that thought this was a playoff calibre team?

I know it was nothing personal, I'm not actually offended. Maybe I'm off the page here because I missed most of the thread.
