We limped home in for game 6 and ****ing destroyed the Giants. In the end, my WC hero popped up to end game 7. But I'm not disappointed at all today. I got to see WC, LDS, ALCS games.
I was fortunate enough to spend a magical Tuesday night in Royals stadium with my 30 year old son watching Yordano Ventura's first WS start. We shared that joy together. That, for so many years, was just a faint hope for me. But it happened and I smiled and laughed and enjoyed that night like few others in my life.
We consoled each other last night through the bitter disappointment of a game 7 loss. But I'm happy for these guys. They will forever live in my heart. Because even we make the playoffs again, it will never be like this year. It will be fantastic. But it will never have the feeling of this season.
I'll cherish this season forever.

Well said. It was a sickening ending, but we had a heck of a ride.
