The meandering pace of the Hot Stove season has caused a variety of reactions among Phillies fans. Some have grown neurotic, parsing over even the minutest Macharper rumor in an attempt to find some clue as to where the big two free agents will end up. Others have grown angry, and have developed a hatred for Phillies management, Machado, Harper, and everyone remotely associated with baseball. Still others have found a calm sense of serenity, accepting the truth that neither man will ever sign a contract, and we will be locked into this state of purgatory forevermore.
