It's not like we've suffered any recent late season/postseason heartbreak on account of the Cubs, either. You'd have to go back to the 2007 collapse when the Cubs caught us for the division to find anything worth crying over.
Dodgers PTSD? Well warranted. Cardinals PTSD? Warranted, though much, much less so since La Russa, Pujols, and Molina all left and/or retired. The Cubs? Not very warranted.
It's quite hard to comprehend. They literally had to steal our longtime manager to try to copy our success, and that's failed so far.....
