I just don't feel like they actually owe us results. They owe us to show up and work hard and try their best. And I will still take this over being a Nats or Braves fan. Or a Mets fan, taking the last four years on the whole.
Now, we do get to vote with our dollars too. My partial ST package is less valuable to me when people become less interested (be it friends or secondary market) in taking a few games off my hands, and when guaranteed playoff tix aren't as valuable (or exist).
What's sad is they survived losing Wheeler. They can't survive not having anything from the Top 3. Regardless of the bumps in relief pitching.
