Well, Darn.

It still counts as a successful season to me.

Wait 'til next year!

Losing a best-of-seven in four straight games is a little painful. (Who am I kidding? It's a LOT painful.)

But, well, there can be only one. Every team but one ends up either not qualifying or else is knocked out in the playoffs.

Let's see; any other platitudes I can include here?

2 The Mets are a bit freaky right now. They're a good team, but they came into the playoffs more tired and hurt than any other team except the Yankees, and suddenly they took off.

3 On the upside, Armageddon has been staved off for at least another year.... It should be the Kinsella Curse, not the Billy Goat Curse.

5 Cubs fans have indeed had more practice than most at saying "Wait 'til next year"... but there are 30 teams in the big leagues, and 26 of them were watching the Cubs on TV in late October, which may not be as good as winning the pennant but ain't half bad.

6 Steven, if there was ever any possibility of me purchasing an Apple product in the future, it's been totally squashed now.

Not that the possibility was particularly large to begin with... the classic Godzilla vs Bambi leaps to mind, but with a Nara deer playing the part of Bambi, and a dinosaur-killer asteroid starring as Godzilla.

7 Saw some of the last game while having dinner. Say what you will about the Cubs, but their fans were cheering their hearts out, even when things turned ugly on the field (and they turned ugly basically right away). Lotta heart behind that team.
