I'm the type of person who doesn't really watch post-season unless my team makes it.. granted, I've never quite been into baseball as I have the past few years so maybe I'll keep an eye on the season.

Honestly, everyone kept hoping for a miracle to save the Cardinals. Bottom line is, there was never a miracle, the Cardinals always saved themselves because they had that determination to win. But I have NEVER seen the team's morale just deflate the way I saw it the last three games they played against the Giants. It was like they just gave up. Rolled over and handed it to them. It was pathetic and embarrassing, not only for them, but for me!! Any time a player went up to bat you could juts tell they were thinking "lets get this over with...".

I have many a Braves fan friends who immediately started rubbing it in my face when they lost game 7, and mind you, I am never the type of person to rub victories in others' faces (so never understood why people felt the need to do it to me... but whatever).

Disappointing end to a season, but if you think about it we were never supposed to make it this far, either. There's always next season
