Nothing I said indicated I am rooting for them to fail. I'm not a fan right now, though. If they become respectable again, I'll hop back on the bandwagon like Rosie Ruiz at the Boston Marathon. Until then, I'll remain skeptical of just how loaded our farm system is. I've taken the bait too many times: Hermansen, Benson, Lincoln, Meadows, Glasnow, Keller, Polanco... Fool me 175 times, shame on me. Even some of our hits have come with a caveat (Alvarez's success was short-lived; Marte pretty much produced the bare minimum to not be considered a bust; etc.). Prospect-lover Huntington even used to love to take on reclamation projects and try to transform other teams' former top prospects (Tabata, Milledge, Clement, Andy LaRoche, Ike Davis), which more or less never worked for any position player. At least he's out of town.
But I've poured more than enough time and energy into a franchise that wasn't even trying. As of a few years ago, I just hit the point where I don't care. If and when they field a real team again, I'll watch. If not, oh well. They don't really deserve anyone's unconditional fanhood at this point.
