The other 3 playoff teams could be The Home for Blind Amputees, The Elderly Nun Hospice, and a team full of spazzy kids that always get picked last at recess, and the Cubs still wouldn't win the pennant.

It really is unironically wonderful when your team wins* and pretty awful when your team loses.

It's like a slightly less intense Super Bowl that lasts a hell of a lot (a week and a half) longer so it ends up just as excruciating in its own way..














*Real Talk I do hope you guys get to find out someday and you're closer than you think. But I don't want to wake up from the dream until I have to, either.
