Mourning the loss of the 2016 baseball season

[burnt out cubbie fan]

I have been living in a Cubs bubble. It burst tonight. I have been all out of sorts. I have been trying to sum up my words and my feeling of loss but it keeps ending up as incoherent junk. I know I should still be enjoying the championship but I just want to watch this team play more playoff baseball. I makes me sad that I have to wait until April to watch next year's squad play a meaningful game.

No

I'm more of a celebrate the life kind of guy.

i couldn't be happier it's over. October was like one month-long ulcer. So fun, but so stressful. I'm happy to watch tribute videos and replays until spring training. Until then, I'm just going to bask in the championship.

It's really weird to have absolutely no excitement about hot stove season which is typically as exciting to me as the actual season.

I enjoyed the hell out of every minute of the postseason (well, except a few hours after the losses), but I am so glad it's over.

that's exactly where I am. The regular season was fun for about 110 games and then it was boring until October, where it was non-stop crazy and a perfect capper. I need a break before I'm committed to anything (including my family) like that again.

If they make it again next year, I need to take the week off. 4 hours of sleep per night really effed me up

Agreed. Plus, my DVR backlog was getting out of control

This is me. Every other year, I'm disappointed the season is done because I want to see more Cubs baseball. But this year (and I felt this even before they won the WS), I was 100% ready for the season to be over. This October was stressful as hell and I'm mentally exhausted. I have my life back!

You are a weird individual and should be heavily mocked.

Yup. It's weird to think about how a month of just watching and thinking and obsessing about baseball can be so exhausting, but this weekend was great just in how it felt like it was the first time in weeks I got some decent nights of sleep.

This! It is so nice to be back to a regular sleep schedule. Being Eastern time zone was even worse. My productivity fell off a cliff for about 2 weeks. For the first few days I did find myself being sad there were no more games to win, but now I can just enjoy the championship.
