Just a quick note on Doc's popularity (at least on this site).
A month ago, I posted the poll: "When should Doc be let go?"Â Only 26.6% said "Not till he has a better roster."Â While 51.4% said "After the season," and an additional 22% said "ASAP."
So far, the current poll indicates that the number of fans that feel he should be back next year is up to around 50%. Still not overwhelming, but a sizable increase in just one month. Seems like winning (even if it is just 58% of the time) cures a lot of ill will.
