Regardless of what happens in the WS, and we, as baseball fans, know that anything can happen in this wonderful game, I just want to take a second to reflect on how fucking good this team is.
If the regular season wasn't enough (and it wasn't for quite a bit of you,) it was followed by the utter dismantling of two 100-win teams, one being your heated rival.
No matter what's gone wrong this year, from Mookie, EdRod, Wright, and Sale's injuries, Smith being done, Thornburg never getting right, Pomeranz basically being a negative when we all expected a 2/3, Kelly's bipolar act, Pedey's knee (and forcing Nunez into 2B majority of the year,) the catchers not hitting...right up to Kimbrel's current struggles, this squad has continued to truck on forward. Every player has embraced their role and produced when called upon, they're loose, they never give up, and they've been an absolute joy to watch day in and day out.
I don't know about the lot of you, but win or loss, this squad is up there with the most fun I've ever had watching this game.
