Wow. Apprently you worship late season wins against teams that are out of the playoff race as being undeniably meaninigful indicators. Of what? Is Athletic ready to be a contender? It's fine to point out they are 3-1. It's also reasonable to point out that they were playing bad teams and the loss was to a team that had never defeated Athletic in 11 previous meetings. I just put some context around the results but apparently anything short of rah rah rah offends your delicate sensibilities. OK. Three cheers for the 3-1 Athletic! If they started the season over we'd be at the top! Are you happy now?
