No Joy In Wrigleyville Tonight

Mets, Team Of Big Shoulders, Sweep Cubs To Reach World Series
| Chicago Sun-Times |

Ninety-seven wins in the regular season and it effectively took the Cubs nowhere. Because it don’t mean a thing if you don’t get that ring.

The regular season and the postseason are two different things. For me, the regular season is the real deal and the postseason sits below the regular season and somewhere above the All-Star Game. The World Series hasn’t been a true path to revealing the season’s best team since 1969 with the launch of division play (and even more so since 1994 with expanded division play).

So the postseason tournaments aren’t as meaningful or as important to me anymore.

My silver lining: none of the 2015 NL and AL wildcards made it to the World Series. Ooo-rah!

Let’s go Mets.
