Expectations

"It isn’t about the results. It is all about expectations. Look at this year’s Diamondbacks who exceeded expectations and made it to the playoffs, and then there are teams like the Braves, Dodgers, Yankees, and Mets whose fans are now disappointed. Every win and loss, every triumph, and failure, is magnified by what we anticipate from our favorite teams." Jayne Kamin-Oncea-USA TODAY Sports
