Isn't It a Bit Early for This?

Yes, yes, I know they're still leading their division--by a lot. Yes, yes, I know all it takes is for the batters to get hot again. I know all that. And maybe I'm being too picky, but isn't the collapse supposed to come after the All-Star break?

Sometimes procrastination is a good thing. In fact, sometimes certain things don't need to happen at all. Or maybe I'm looking at it the wrong way--they collapse now, then pick up again in August. That's the ticket!

(Sometimes even the cockeyed optimists of the world need a little boost.)
