I never had many expectations for this season, just due to the recent history of what WS winners do the next year. But what I've seen in the second half has made me expect a deep run here. They have the talent to get it done, and I feel stupid saying it but what they did to step up when needed in all 3 rounds last year and out of the ASB and right after the 3 game sweep in early September makes me believe this team "knows how to win".
