While S6/S7 didn’t live up to the Sorkin levels of excellence without him, of S1-5. I found the finale of the West Wing to be very pleasing. I watched S1-5 years ago, but just got around to S6/S7 this past month. New Sorkin left and had heard about the drop-off, so just never invested. It was drastic, but overall still good tv.

Looking back, G7 2016 WS (and blowing the lead) is going to kill me. But at the time, I simply couldn’t be as upset as I was because of what the Cavs had done. 2015 NBA, 95/97 WS, 2007 ALCS, all hurt more to me. 2016 is probably the worst Cleveland loss if we are being honest, because of 3-1, it was just tough to be as upset because of LeBron and Co.

I initially felt that way during the WS. It felt like we were playing with house money. I was severely wrong, because the following day at work I was legitimately depressed.  That was a tough one to swallow and it’s right up there with 97 for me. I would rank the 2007 ALCS below the 97 and 16 World Series.

You have to rise to the occasion and they simply didn’t for one more game. Especially with how much the MLB playoffs are a crap shoot (I.e. the ALDS the following year). Now their window is pretty much closed.
