I disagree. That 2011 team was coming to and end. This is just starting. The postmortems will come in time after we get past this but there is, at minimum, a glimmer of a hopeful future. I want all of you to remember this post next time you want to call me a pessimist. The thing is ....you just never know how long it will take to get back. You just never know. It doesn't matter what the future looks like, so many things have to go right as a small market to even be in this game. We might be talking about a game 7 NLCS next year, or in 20 years. Yelich may be long gone before we even play in an NLCS again. I've been thinking this for the past couple weeks, and I've wanted to say this for a while but my emotions have been all over the place during that time and just wanted to wait until after the season was over. Tomorrow is guaranteed to no one, and this may be the last best chance this team gets in a while. When you're a small market team the window of opportunity is much smaller than it is for the Dodgers and Yankees of the world.
