Crane has said you all will come back as soon as the team starts winning. He may be right. But he may find there will be many former fans with a resolute dislike for Jim Crane just as there were many with a resolute dislike for Drayton McLane.

The sentence I've heard on more than one occasion is "he thinks we're stupid" because he believes fans should pay major league prices even while not putting a major league product on the field. It's very difficult to overcome such visceral emotions and I don't think winning will necessarily mean all is forgiven nor forgotten.
