Great times. I do remember.
Remember those first couple of series this year? Our optimism was in place. Then our innocence was robbed by an old man and father time. The mask was ripped off to reveal the hideous face of the franchise.
Moving forward there may be a couple highlights, a false sense of finally "putting it together", but, in the end, other teams will be playing in October. After the World Series there will be a melancholy retirement ceremony for Tony. By then fans will have run out of energy to cheer his departure. A shuffling of a couple coaches, perhaps a lawsuit will be settled. Some aging players will be signed. Big contracts will be traded.
It's over.
