Heh. Small samples do exist in a week of baseball...over the last 2 weeks, the team is 8-6, almost exactly what you'd expect. Sure, some folks will overreact to that, but some folks overreact to everything. Earlier this year, it was "why can't they win on the road?", and now that they are over .500, folks are taking what they can. Sadly, with winning comes a boatload of casual fans into the mix...that's what has added to the crowds and ratings. However, expectations are now ridiculous. This is a team that has the 2nd best record in the NL at the moment. 14 teams would be happy to exchange records, so ignorance like Tom H is writing pretty much just shows how out of touch he is. Of course, he reported Yost got fired earlier this year...it's difficult taking anything he says seriously.
