Funny, my dictionary defines it this way:

Quote:
disappointed
adjective

sad or displeased because someone or something has failed to fulfil one's hopes or expectations
(Boldface added.)

If this team misses the playoffs, naturally it will fail to fulfil my hopes, and you're darned right I'll be disappointed. But they have already exceeded my expectations, which is why I won't be crossing the line from disappointment into blame.
