HookedOnSonics 12/13/19 5:05:40 PM #45:	RaidenGarai posted... At least the Mets have won the World Series at some point in their history (most recently 1986). You know the last time my Brewers went to the World Series? 1982, before I was born, and they lost. It could be a lot worse, dont forget that. The Brewers did everything they could to shed payroll so far this offseason, and at historic spending levels for the team last season they still fell in around league average for payroll. They have one of, if not the worst farm system in the league. We have a ton of holes on the team now because they decided to not even try on Grandal and Moustakas because they dont want to spend anything right now. I know Ive said all of the above before, but I had to repeat it again. It really seems like you dont realize that other teams have it worse than the Mets do, both in terms of history and present outlook. So? I don't get to share in any of the joy or experiences of them winning in 1986 because I wasn't alive for it. 1986, 1982, it's still "never in my lifetime" and its never in yours as well, unless you're a little older than me. If you were alive for the Mets winning then fine I will concede that point. From my point of view, and for contemporaries close to my age, all that matters is if we have experienced that team winning or not. Until 2016 for example, a 30-year old Cubs fan and a Mets fan suffered the same amount when it came to not winning a championship. I've said this before a thousand times too so don't try to play that history/ "could be a lot worse" card on me. No, it could not. --- Certified Wigs Alt: Fastest Thing Alive ##NL <cite>HookedOnSonics posted [p:931544136] in MLB Offsea...
