In the movie Excalibur, Purciful is talking to himself but also to the memory of Lancelot who has become a angry hermit after his falling out with Arthur over Lancelot sleeping with Gweneviere.....Purciful says..."I can't give up hope, Lancelot...[and in a really celtic weepy tone]....its all I have"
substitute..."hope" here for "hatred of the White Sox, Twins (Year of our Lord 2009 in particular) and Guardians" and you have my feelings on this matter.
