It would be easy to be a little "off kilter" with the events of the last week as well as the sub-par performance that we have seen by this team. I can't say I haven't been depressed with them. I won't use the normal one liners or "pick-me-ups", but rather consider this...
Each year in August, a fresh canvas is laid before us and we bare witness to it's painting. Some years we get Picasso and other years we get finger painting of a child. But as we would not turn down a fresh painting from Picasso, we shouldn't turn down the painting of the child. The players absolutely need our support. I suspect they don't get it 100% behind the scenes. We can spend a few weeks or even a few months down about the previous season. But don't let that feeling linger. In time, the feeling will pass and we will be awaiting the next canvas and the next artist.
