I tend to agree

Since the 1-8 start they're only like a game over .500 Bauer may give them an extra win, perhaps two ? But for them to go say 36-18 ummm I just don't see it. 

I'm just hoping they can close the gap a little and make it interesting. It's been quite some time since we've had something to cheer about in August and Sept.
