Now that the season is winding down and people are fighting for playoff spots etc... does anyone else feel that there is just not as much hype going into the playoffs because the Cubs won the WS last year? That was probably the biggest story line last year and something worth following.. Now this year feels less exciting and almost not worth watching. Is it safe to say that the Cubs winning the WS was indeed bad for baseball?

don't the Indians have a super long drought going themselves? like 50+ years?

but yeah there's no topping the excitement of last World Series barring a miracle. Last's year WS was fucking epic.

There is always a lull when the divisions are decided by July. The races haven't really been interesting.

But the playoff teams are going to be fucking great, I imagine the baseball playoffs will continue to be more riveting than any other sports'

I was saying something similar to that last year. I would rather see how the Cubs fail to win a WS every year rather than see them finally win and then not care anymore.

Cubs fans were the only reason I actually wanted them to win though... I admired their ardent fandom despite rooting for a hapless team

I agree there isn't as much hype. I don't think that ruins it though. As an A's fan (and fedorian) the only thing I have to look forward to and hope for is getting a good return on our players in the inevitable trade. This year I'll be hoping Cubs repeat or Kershaw gets one. Or Brewers make a miracle run and I get a ton of fgs. Or Houston for Ryan.
