Why the Baseball Season is NOT over

Is your team eliminated from the MLB playoffs?  Did your team fail to make the playoffs? If you answered yes to either one of these questions, please keep reading.  I am a supporter of a team no longer in the quest for another championship, because they have been eliminated from contention.  This will not end the season, for me.  I love baseball and I love the ups and downs of not only the regular season, but the playoffs as well.  To watch my team go down was not fun and it never is either.  I have, however, come to some realizations over the years supporting my team, the Cardinals and I will share some with you now. First of all, it's almost acceptable to not continue on to the World Series every year and it's also okay to not get upset because of being eliminated.  How can I say this so calmly, even though I have a crazy passion for my team?  The answer is simple, but a bit complex for some people to accept.  I've had this talk with young and old people alike from different cities, states and countries.  I've even had the talk in different countries with sports fans and it seems there are people all over the fence on this subject. I love my team.  More than that, I love the game of baseball.  The game continues on and will do so, with or without my input and participation.  Since this is the case, I would much rather be involved and take sides all the way to the end of the last game of the World Series.  Only one team will win, no matter what happens during the season, this will not change.  The odds of winning it all are very slim.  Accepting this makes it easier for me to deal with being ousted from contention. My support, as of today, is with one team that is from a city that I love and I loved visiting.  This team is actually in the league that I prefer and they are playing a team that I don't particularly support, because they are from the same division as my favorite team.  I am supporting the New York Mets and I hope they go all the way.  It's been a number of years since they hoisted that beautiful trophy and I hope they enjoy the feeling again.  In 1969 they were called the Amazing Mets (or 'Mazings if you prefer).  The fans of the team are getting enthralled once again, expecting big things. No matter who I pull for, when watching or listening to the games on the MLB app, at least I still have the fun stress of the games to feel and I love it.  This time of year has many sports in their regular seasons, but for me, baseball is still here - for a bit longer.
