I still think Game 7 of the 2006 NLCS hurt me worse than any of these late World Series losses. Might have just been where I was in my fandom at that time. There was absolutely zero doubt in my mind that that team was winning the World Series. And when Beltran took that backwards K I went completely numb.

Games 1 and 4 this year hurt, but I still didn't feel the same level of disappointment that I did in 2006. You know that Simpsons ep where Bart pauses the tape to pinpoint the second that Ralph's heart breaks after Lisa dumps him? That was me in 2006. I think it single-handedly altered the way I view baseball and sports in general because it was really the first time in my sports fandom that I got completely crushed in part due to having unwavering confidence. Seriously, go back to some of the really old MLB threads and you'll see how different my mindset was, lol.
