I went though that with the Phillies and is sucked!! I was 1 month old when they won the WS back in 1980 and since then have only been in the playoffs 5 times!! 5 times out of 28 years!! So for 23 yrs they were as you put it in rebuilding years and that is fine with you!! Well that wasnt fine with me!! I am not like you were instead of not rooting for teams that come in 2nd, you root for teams to come in 16th or worse because they won a championship 5 years ago or a WS 23 yrs ago!!
I'm still waiting for the Flyers to win that "Hat trick in 76"! You need more patience grasshopper!

The only teams that are going to win multiple championships close together are the dynasties and the "buy the best player at each position" teams. That's not going to happen in Philly so you need the ups and the downs to have that one realistic chance. I just hope the Phils don't blow to pieces next year and that they can make it to the WS again this year. Who ever thought they would see the Phils in the WS 2 years in a row in their lifetime!
