I agree with whoever said if you don't believe, then why do you watch? I can't think of any reason to do that to yourself. Deep down there is a tiny bit of hope, the no votes are just for show. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif[/img]

I watch the game because I love baseball. And yes -- I hold out hope for a World Series win. But that isn't the question. The question is if you had to bet your life savings on them winning it in your lifetime, which way would you bet. Betting that they won't is the safer bet, IMO. That isn't just for show.
