    Let's compare being a Twins fan and a UNC Tarheel basketball fan. The Heels fanbase expects nothing short of a National Championship each year. However realistically, deep down, we Tarheel fans know this is not possible. Each regular season loss hurts. However the NCAA tourney, being a one loss and you are out scenario, magnifies the pain of that elimination loss, especially since the seniors are done with their college playing. A March Madness loss and elimination puts me into a depression for about a week., especially if Duke is still marching toward a championship. How is this similar to the Twins? The Twins fan base does not expect a World series Championship each year. We Twins fans know deep down that is not possible each year. Each regular season loss hurts and angers some of us. However the post season magnifies each game and magnifies the pain of that final elimination loss most years. And again, I am depressed for about a week. The higher the expectations, the more pain we feel with that final loss. But then ...then... there is 1987 and 1991...and we remember what it was like ..and there is nothing like it...and we remember and replay moments such as: "And we'll see you tomorrow night". And through the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat, we discover why we are fans of our team. It's really not the destination, it's the journey. And I'll see you tomorrow night.

    Thanks for this much needed article, with some humor in it. As Gardy used to say, as the Twins sank slowly into last place during the spring, "It's a long season".

    Great article. Thank you Seth. I too am looking forward to the daily minor league reports. There is something very hope-filled about these daily reports about good performances in the minors.

    Thank you Tom. This has been a really fun series, especially this year. To all the contestants, I have this advice: "Just keep swimming!"

    Kepler still needs to start hitting to the opposite field more.

    "gambling on the secret sauce"...I really like your analogy. Made sense and made me laugh. Great article. Thank you.

    Thanks Nick. Informative thoughtful articles in this series. I really appreciate Twins Daily, especially since I live in North Carolina and we get very little coverage of the Twins here. Plus I can write my 2 cents worth here and I feel comfortable doing it, even if we sometimes agree to disagree. This is really a way this fan of this franchise for the last 66 years, can keep up with this team in a unique and informative way, have thoughtful discussions about the Twins and baseball. I just want to say thank you to the owners, moderators, writers, contributors and the fans. You are all the best.

    Nice article. Thanks. I know it is a cliché, but the most important game is the next one.

    3rd in overall bullpen fWAR 2 years in a row? If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it.

    This contest for squire has become a really fun spring training contest. Thank you.
  17. tarheeltwinsfan
    I agree/
  18. tarheeltwinsfan
    Good article.
  19. tarheeltwinsfan
    But it works. Also, nobody is forced to buy it, except for health insurance in the US... and Worker's compensation insurance by employers, and liability insurance in North Carolina for our vehicles...and injury insurance for my child to play sports...and fire insurance for my mortgage lender...oh never mind.

    I wasn't excited to see the Beavers eliminate the Tarheels.
