And now for a message to Atlanta Braves fans who are down in the dumps about the club's rebuild: Don't be afraid to get your hopes up.
Just ask any fan of the New York Mets or Chicago Cubs.
They were once like the Braves. Five years ago, the Mets responded to consecutive losing seasons by pressing the "REBUILD" button. Four years ago, the Cubs followed suit in the wake of their own consecutive losing seasons.
Now look where they are. The Mets just went to the World Series. The Cubs fell one step short of the World Series, and right now they're probably the best team in Major League Baseball.
