Lol. It has nothing to do with not being grateful for a playoff berth, it has to do with having a really [expletive] good team at the same time two division rivals are also really [expletive] good. If this was 5 years ago and we'd miss the playoffs altogether, I'd be all the more pissed off. It's definitely possible, if not probable, to only get the 2nd WC with 97 wins. The Pirates only need to go 8-4 over their last 12, even if 2 of those losses are to the Cubs at Wrigley, to end up at 98. Breaking news: it's possible to enjoy and appreciate being in the playoffs, and yet still be annoyed at not being in a better position going in.
