Did you fall under the spell of the Cubs?
The playoffs are a magical time of year. This beautiful part of the baseball season gives us the ability to follow our favorite team and be either filled with joy or beaten down in defeat. This season a recurring or regurgitating story stole headlines from coast to coast. It's almost as if the World Series was already won in April and the rest of us just had to wait it out to get to the trophy presentation.
Not so fast. Teams on paper or even ones that were created in the movies seldom pan out the way people expect. Why, you ask - simple really - there's a great game going on and it must be played on the field, not on paper. This season's example was the Chicago Cubs, who are beat on every year because they haven't won the World Series in over a hundred years. Well, be that as it may, some franchises have never won (Tampa Bay, Colorado, Seattle, Washington, San Diego, Milwaukee, Houston and Texas). So, while we pick on the Cubs, many have realized that this success doesn't come easily. You can have the best team ever assembled and still fall short.
Somber Look of Defeat
Don't hate your team or it's management, just because you didn't go all the way this season, enjoy the ride. This is a beautiful game and it's meant to be enjoyed. It is a game, by the way. No matter what it feels like to you. Another thing, don't always believe what you see in the movies - they're meant as entertainment. This season has proven just that.
