that's why i really think today's game is important. if we stink up the place, then they are right, and we don't deserve any respect. Seems every year we start out decently, the bottom falls out. Even as fans we almost expect it , although we won't publicly admit it. In past years we definately lose this game againt a team that needs to snap out of a slump. In order to break that trend we need to win.
yeah, yeah, if we lose we are 6-3 and probably tied for the div lead, but all those calling us to lose to a slumping team are correct...so we need this, imo
