After spending the last several years in the PNW, I've now come to appreciate and guard against the annual M's let-down / melt-down / suck-down or whatever you want to call it. I'm not gonna be fooled again this year. I will root for success of course, but said rooting will come with a serious dearth of hope for anything substantial or positive (like a simple playoff berth). Hope springs eternal, unless you are a delusional M's fanboy. F' that noise.

Is it football season yet?
