We started talking about Schwarber last night after seeing those pictures of him looking like the effing hulk, and I went to find some highlights of his dongs, which sadly brought me back to 2015. I realized while watching that it was almost a completely different experience watching highlights of the 2015 team. Still incredibly fun, but just doesn't come with the happiness of knowing where 2016 ends up. i feel like 2015 was just the beginning part of the world series run. the fact that they won it all in 2016 kind of solidified the cardinals series (and the wild card) as "mattering" in my mind. i'll always see it as part of the same ride. it feels like the mets series didn't even happen. the cards series was where their full potential was reached, they just had to wait a little while for the coronation.
