    196 – That’s certainly true after a 7 game losing streak, for sure.

    But, I think that you’ll notice that the positive attitude started before we were winning tonight. I think there were two reasons, both of them big:

    1. Felix was taking the mound. That means most of us start at a much more positive place… I mean, win or lose, watching Felix is more fun than watching not-Felix.

    2. The big one for me, and I said it in the first two or three comments in this thread, is that I was happy to see Beltre batting 4th, and Raul moved down.

    Just seeing that one move that indicated a willingness to acknowledge SOMETHING about the problems, made me ten times more positive.

    I think you would be surprised how happy people would be regardless of results, if good, solid decisions were being made by management.

    Losing doesn’t frustrate me nearly as much as playing stupidly.

    I play a lot of poker and results based emotions will kill you. I am much more unhappy when I play poorly, win or lose, than when I play well and lose.

    Because over the long haul playing well will get you good results, and playing poorly will ultimately get bad results.

    A direct result of Dave Cameron’s Friday spot yesterday with The Groz, no doubt. 😀
