As tough as it was to watch our Brewers fall apart against the Dodgers, I'm convinced it's a lot easier to take as a fan than it would have been to lose in a Game 7, especially in heartbreaking fashion. After we lost the first two, my psyche was prepared to lose, so while it was obviously still disappointing and I still had a tiny bit of hope, I wasn't really upset by the time the season was over.
Being a Mariners fan right now would be an entirely different feeling.
