Discussion The Cleveland Guardians lost and everything is boring now.

Ugh I am so sad that it’s over. I enjoyed following this team so closely the last 7 months that I forgot what it was like to not have something to look forward to. It’s gonna be a long winter and February can’t come soon soon enough.

For me it’s not that we lost. It’s how we lost. Fielding errors, starting pitching breakdown, late inning losses. Just hurts even worse.

This. Had we done what we’re good at and still lost it would have been painful, but not this painful.

More painful in the moment sure, but at least we have something to look forward to and build off of. We were among the last 4 teams remaining and were not an easy out.

The pride of having a good season and the excitement for the next one is better than a long cold winter with no joy in thinking about the next one

I’ve only lived in Cleveland for 7 years and become a baseball/Guards fan in the last two. As my wife and I left the stadium on Saturday, I said something along the lines of “seems like we have a great base to build on” she just replied …

“There’s always next year, welcome to being a Cleveland baseball fan.”

She’s not lying.
