They just came off of a 4-0 shutout win and a 1-run loss in which a fielding error was the difference. They just swept the Tigers last week. I'm not a dumbass incapable of critical thinking, like most of the sky-is-falling mob, so yes I do deny it. If the Jays fell back to .500, or fell back into third place, I would understand people being upset. Being 10 games over .500 in the middle of June, and just the idea of falling back down is flipping people out to the point of making these stupid f***ing threads? I've started avoiding the GDT's because they're full of this garbage, at least have the decency to keep it in those threads and don't spread this ******** out to the rest of the forum.
I just kept reading all the "Jays will contend even if they play .500 rest of the way" ******** in May and I could only think to myself "yeah f***ing right, if the Jays play anywhere close to .500 the rest of the way this place will implode". And what do you know, 7-5 record in June so far and we have a "stages of denial" thread. Give me a f***ing break.
Fans in this city are so insecure it's pathetic. It almost scares me thinking about what would happen if one of these teams did win something. We'd probably see a nation-wide emotional breakdown and riots throughout downtown.
