[IBL] Talk me off the ledge

[Paul Schneider]

I know...just having a laugh. It is crazy that all of them have found their
groove at the same time. Still, it is pretty crazy how many of MLB's

that my actual team has had a disastrous season. Bottom line is you either
laugh about it or cry. I prefer to laugh.
