I remember watching the Brewers teams in the early 2000s. They were bad and hadn't seen playoffs in decades. They couldn't even play .500 ball for over a decade. At the same time Braves fans were complaining that Atlanta could win the East every year but couldn't do anything in the playoffs. I thought to myself that I would be happy to win my division every year even with no playoff success.
I keep having to remember my younger self. It sucks to never have a trophy but we have to enjoy what we do have. I believe the Brewers are working on never having an extended "be bad to rebuild" again and I can appreciate that.
