Hating your life is different from anger.

This is more depression than anger. I saw a mediocre season coming (albeit not this bad) and was just hoping so much that I was just wrong and that Bavasi was right. We were right here on LL. But we were more right than we could imagine. This depresses me.

We need to have a funeral.

We can have a eulogy, links to YouTube video clips of remembrance, and a tombstone. Then we can all get drunk and move on with our summer.

Summer would necessitate warm weather.

And barring that bizarre saturday back in April, it’s bee freaking freezing here in PacNW.

Hard work never killed nobody, but I won't take my chances.

Statler and Waldorf

Statler: Well, Waldorf, they finally got the season under way.
Waldorf: Yes, and I already bought tickets.
Statler: Are they good seats?
Waldorf: Sure are. They’re on the next train out of town.

Statler: I guess all’s well that ends well.
Waldorf: I don’t care, as long as it ends.

Waldorf: How do they do it?
Statler: How do we watch it?
Waldorf: Why do we watch it?
Statler: [to audience] Why do you watch it?

Waldorf: Eh, this team is good for what ails me.
Statler: Well, what ails ya?
Waldorf: Insomnia.

Statler: This team is awful!
Waldorf: Terrible!
Statler: Disgusting!
Waldorf: See you next year?
Statler: Of course.

It wasn't fun while it lasted.

And I see USSM has officially thrown in the towel as well.

Felix Hernandez may be The King, but Justin Upton is a GOD.

At least you still have Chelsea

I don’t even have another sport to distract myself from at this point – I could honestly care less who Arsenal are playing this weekend because it doesn’t matter.

That's the only thing keeping a smile on my face

As bad as this season has gone in Baseball, it was worse in basketball and, for much of the year, MUCH worse in soccer.

But Tottenham’s got silverware and Arsenal doesn’t. Let me cling to this small, relatively insignificant nugget of joy.

Not only don't they have silverware

but they don’t have Flamini anymore, and that means that next year will probably be silverware-free as well. Hleb’s got one foot out the door as well. Sigh. Arsenal are turning into the A’s – find ‘em young, sign ‘em cheap, let ‘em go when they get too expensive. Arsene Wenger has a lifetime of second chances and credibility with me, so I’ll never really agitate for his firing, but sigh.

I look forward to fall, when football is in full swing,

and I can be an optimistic fan again of a competently run franchise.

Amen to that!!

My girlfriend is already walking around in Seahawks jerseys waiting for the season to start. I feel almost the same way, except I’m addicted to baseball so I’ll keep watching this trainwreck until the end.

I like midgets more than I should.

I get this horrible feeling

that the team really isn’t that bad, and instead of being a ridiculous trainwreck the whole season, they’re going to regress to the mean a bit and wind up just being a shitty, boring, mediocre team.

by seattlebruin on May 9, 2008 12:57 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

agreed

I have my Seahawk stuff out but I’ll be watching to the end just to see how Wlad and Clement do. Plus my boss gave me tix for next Saturday’s game. Sec 133, row 28. How could I turn those down?
