What Went Right?

I couldn't bring myself to visit this page through the playoffs, for the most part. It was just too hard.

And spurred on by the Rev's post this morning, I too visited the stadium today. For what purpose? At first I thought it was out of spite combined with disbelief that anyone could return a jersey because the Halos (surprise, surprise) blew it in the postseason. But on reflection I think I just wanted to be there. To feed some intangible need for reconciliation. To say that this hurts, but this is my favorite place to be in the warm months, and I'll see you again when I am a year older.

So I've been compiling a list, in my head, to try to ease the pain. A list of what went right, rather than what went wrong. Something to help me forget that horseshit of a strikeout call against Tex. Something to make me forget the fact that I could very well be saying "Go Dodgers" before the month is over.

So help me make a list of everyting that was great about this year. Everything that is still great about this year.

1. 100 wins for the first time.

2. Santana does a 180 from a hideous road record and lackluster hoemstand and confounds expectations and becomes an Allstar.

3. Vlad defies speculation that he is already done, rebounds like the Imapler he is and secures 11 seasons of batting over 300.

4. Frankie shatters the 18 year old saves record and seasons it with 4 more saves for good measure.
