What is the state of your favorite Major League Baseball franchise? How hot, or not, is it? How can you even go about putting a number on such a thing?
The sentiment a fan of any team has from year to year will be heavily influenced by not just the results of the most recently completed season, but also how that season fits into the context of the past several years. Emotion-fueled attitudes don't change overnight.
If you root for a team that has been going well, then a down season might not turn you sour on it right away.
