The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the week, every six hours. Up is worse. Dashed lines are games.
What happened
Three games against Cleveland produced four runs total, a 2-3 loss, a 1-0 win, and a 0-1 loss that had the fanbase begging the lineup to "wake the fuck up and get ready for the postseason." The turn came Friday's doubleheader sweep of the Cubs, 4-3 and 2-0, misery halving overnight, Paez "awesome today." Then 2-6 Sunday, and 87-75. A playoff team whose supporters insist it has "no offense. NONE." October will settle the argument quickly.
