I'm mocking the current around here that being a realist makes you a hopelessly oppressive pessimist. Instead, I guess we should all be naively optimistic about what a great team we have. Nothing with you personally, just a good setup you provided.

Of course. But that wasn't the case.

That's a stretch, I don't get the impression the majority of posters are naively believing we have a great team. Actually my post illustrates how much more this team really needs besides quality starting pitching. As LEN III pointed out in the Strib, Twins starters have gone 6+ innings in 6 of the last 7 games and the team is 2-5 during that time. Thinking that all we need to do is shore up the rotation is the proverbial finger in the dike.
