No, I'm not "playing" with you. I'm trying to deal honestly in facts. I saw dozens of pre-season expectations posted and most of them hovered around the .500 mark where the team is hovering right now. Certainly I missed many high- and low-profile pre-views, from partisans and non-partisans alike, but you're going to have to convince me that expectations were generally high. That hasn't been my experience.
