BJ positive

I recently stopped my DirectTV service because of its excessive cost. Bally Sports is proving to be worse than Fox Sports, which is saying something. It seems that the only concern of MLB and the Twins is immediate revenue and not building or sustaining a fan base. Even at Target Field, it seems that a third of the attendees are constantly on their phones while paying only occasional attention to the game. Oh, for the good old days at the Met when fans actually paid attention to the game and 50 games a season were on free TV. And as good as Corey Provos is, he is no Herb Carneal or Ray Scott.

95+ wins. And a trip to the World Series. I correctly predicted 87 and 91. (I predict a W S every year, however.) No need to fret and overanalyze. Baseball is about eternal optimism. Look for another worst to first. It's not a statistically huge leap. A horrible team wins 4 of 10. A great team wins 6 of 10. So much in life is beyond our control. But we can choose our attitude and outlook. Baseball affords us that, even if our outlook is ridiculously unrealistic.
