Anyone who has posted 4000 times on a topic is emotionally invested in it. Not this time, I learned my lesson in 2007 and 2003. then you better just shrug your shoulders and go "ehh, it was a crapshoot anyways" if we win the world series. you're not allowed to celebrate. Why? I have the right to decide how I will feel about things, I would think. i guess. it's ridiculous, though, to sit through a 162 game season and be satisfied with being the best team in the regular season. the point is to win the world series, anything less is a disappointment. i personally invest all this time in the 162 game season for the huge payoff of winning the world series. it'd be even more painful this season, since last season we didn't deserve to be in, we were just luckily in a horrible division.
