The Negative Nancy Brigade has been growing in numbers recently.

No. that's NOT what I am saying.

 

What I am saying is that based strictly upon the bottom line results over the past nine or so seasons without delving more into the particulars, the pessimists/bibbers, et al have been right far more than the pie in the sky optimists.

 

I'm also saying that thumping your chest because a player of ours is only going to be out 6 weeks instead of several months when NOBODY was rooting for the worst case scenario is patently silly, especially when the overwhelming majority of participants in the discussion do NOT have medical degrees and did not know the exact size and location of Ramsey's injury.

 

There are plenty of appropriate opportunities to prove a poster/group of posters wrong in a message board debate and to say I told you so after the fact.
