True. But let the 2015 Mets, the 2016 Indians, the 2010's Nats and so many other teams be a lesson that just because you make it far doesn't mean you'll be back. Sure, all the above teams can be back, and maybe the Cubs will eventually build that dynasty that BarryG spoke about, but you never know in this game. Everything has to click, with health, performance, luck, etc, and it doesn't usually happen every year.
Unless you are the Yankees.
In all seriousness, it would be foolish to predict a world series appearance with so many teams as loaded as they are. Cleveland, Houston and Boston, to name a few, are ridiculously loaded with young incredible talent.
But as a Yankee fan, seeing the young talent this year and who is coming up next year and beyond, it's the most exciting team in years. For me, ever.
