I'm in the same boat as a lot of you after reading these posts. I used to live and die in every win and loss. Man... Those mid-90s Packers teams, even regular-season losses I would carry those around with me for two or three days. When the 2011 Brewers lost to the cards, I was bummed for a while but again perspective hase allowed me to appreciate what a great season that was, allowed me to appreciate how fun That season was, and dwell on the positive rather than the negative. Watching highlights of like the walk-off hits, Nyjer Morgan bringing in Gomez, watching Miller Park erupt, the place shaking so badly that people couldn't even record properly on their cell phones, that's awesome. We don't get to experience that. Dwelling on the fact we didn't make it to the series? Naaaah. And again this year, if we don't make it, we had a lot of Great Moments that will be great memories,. Obviously I want them to win I would love to see a World Series victory in my lifetime, but seeing three trips to the playoffs in the last 10 years when there had been one in my lifetime previously (1981 doesnt count) ... I'm pretty happy, all things considered
