It befuddles me that people get upset at Al. He's going to be positive. He will always be positive. Team stinks, positive. Team wins, positive. Team craters below the earth's surface, positive. It's actually fun, from my point of view, to watch him come up with detailed arguments on why things look positive. It is a schtick and it's not a schtick at the same time. But it's so outlandishly positive that it defies criticism. It adds personality to a board that is sadly lacking personality these days. I don't read Al's stuff a lot, but I do sometimes. Either way, I'm glad he's here.
