It's also easy to be a pessimistic fan because in the end you're going to be happy about something. Think about it; if you proclaim doom and gloom to be on its way and you're right, then you get the credit (albeit, many times its your own hand patting your own back). If you're not right, you still get to partake in the celebration of a successful season. (I guess, in order to be happy, you actually have to be a fan, though).

Yep, sounds like having your cake and eating it too.
