   I pushed through my early morning Bayway bridge run today with a heavy heart. That was a tough way to close out the year. After such a massive postseason run, watching the Milwaukee Brewers take the World Series title hurts. I had the game on while prepping my endurance fuel last night, hoping we would force another game. What a run it was to even get to the championship series, but man, I am still processing that final loss. How is everyone else holding up today after that ending?

   I am still gutted. Being in the stands for the postseason games this year was incredible, and this team gave us everything they had right up until the end. Milwaukee just executed when they had to in the World Series and earned that title, but it does not make the loss any easier to swallow. I smoked a shoulder out in the yard during the game hoping for some good luck, but it just was not our night. Still so proud of what the guys accomplished getting all the way to the final stage.

   My toddlers somehow managed to stay awake past eight o'clock for half of the World Series games, so I am running on pure cold brew and total fatigue today. Losing to the Brewers at the very end is brutal, but honestly, having baseball late into October kept us sane in our house. Getting to watch a postseason run like that was special, even if the ending was rough. Now I just need to figure out how to reset my kids sleep schedules.

   Running on cold brew.

   RaysFanDad813 did that smoker recipe yield anything good at least to take the edge off the loss? I need to build out my carb reload plan for this weekend and a solid smoked pork shoulder sounds ideal right about now.

   We hosted watch parties for almost every game of the championship series with a full spread of street tacos and spicier-than-usual habanero salsa to keep the nerves down. The result against Milwaukee was not what we wanted, but the atmosphere around town during this postseason was electric. Win or lose, drinking margaritas on the patio and watching our team in the World Series is hard to complain about.

   Every day is Taco Tuesday.

   I sat out on the back porch late last night after the final out, poured a cup of strong dark coffee, and lit up a special wrapper I had been saving for a game seven. It was not the outcome we prayed for, and hats off to the Brewers for finishing the job, but there is something grand about watching our club battle all the way through a major postseason run. Florida baseball had a real spark this autumn. We will reflect on the missed opportunities, but the journey was worth every quiet hour on the patio.
