They lost the lead in September, but they damn near pulled off taking the AL Central going 6-2 in their last 8 games. Started that stretch at 2 games back and ended it at 1. I just like going back and looking at that stuff, but my point is that had they not gotten hot then DM may not have been here the next year. Man looking back at that year our O was pretty bad, not one guy with 20 HRs or even 80 RBIs. But the pitching staff more than made up for it that year. That bullpen was other worldly

Oh, I agree that blind homerism is out there abundantly. IMHO, it's part of the makeup of a drama queen fan. They are so damn quick to bitch about something, anything that has gone wrong and yet have no idea how to fix it. They are quick to call for the quick executions with a lost game forgetting the facts that players,coaches and management are just as imperfect as they are. Yet they want to boast in the glory that they might know something or are pissed off about a certain player and /or game ect.
Yes 2014 was a good example, yet even the decent season of 2013 when we finished strong there were people calling for Ned's and DM's heads. Even during the 2015 season there were plenty of members here calling Ned stupid, Ned doesn't know how to use HDH, etc. or that DM needs to get rid of this guy, bring up this guy, etc. Even during the during 2016 we heard them calling out how stupid Ned and DM were.
Let's face it, some people you just can not please. FTR, you can not please them if you hung them with a new rope.
