you kind of served that one up over the course of the first however-many-posts this thread has, i think.
everyone experiences the sophomore slump though, apparently even in this "universe"? for many moments, for many weeks, it seemed much more like this universe became more like a county -- one that had accrued a lot of debt and had tobacco as its cash crop in the middle of nuclear winter.
personal analysis: i think what you constructed in the mounting of dozens of pages of pre-season chatter was the largest, grandest cliff, and you walked right off.
about two dozen games in, or so, when we had that chat on aim about how you approached the posts last year compared to this season, is when you seemed to turn a bit of a corner. then reality hit in the form of a job and all, and we were left at the alter.
while this may be the longest season in the history of any kind of baseball (i can estimate this to take maybe three, four mlb seasons to complete pale hose #2?) it only means that the mounting anticipation that you built in the pre-season is keeping this concept hanging to the ledge of that cliff, if only by a fingernail, and for some reason we're all pulling ourselves back up.
regardless of whether or not pale hose is good enough to make the playoffs this season, i think its important that something unbelievable happen, because this entire thread can not go on without a conclusion such as that.
