My friends can tell how the Dodgers are doing by my mood...The dodgers got swept by the gay SF Giants... I was the meanest fuck for like 2 days... and i keep off of sports center
C'mon, you know that's how baseball goes. The best will rise over the course of the 162, but they're always going to lose 60+ games, and to crappy teams at that. All the crap that you see that costs a game levels out and they get it back over the season.
Then the playoffs arrives and it's a combination of timing, luck, and skill.
Getting into the SABR side of the game has dulled the season for me. That, and the fact that the Yankees have been a ridiclous 82% chance of making the playoffs in ST for the past decade or so.
In other words, I can't get too emotional over the regular season these days.
