It's just a long season and yes, every win counts in the end, but you don't feel that when it's happening because theoretically, you could lose the first 30 games, then win every game after that and be the best team in the sport.
It's really not until you get to the point in the season where you're really fighting for a playoff birth that you start getting that "everything counts" feeling and that's my favorite part of sports, having stakes on the line. Sure I like just watching it played, but the excitement you get when it's win or go home is unlike anyhing else, and it's the closes feeling to actually being at the game as you can get at home watching it on TV. I just wish I was at college with 5 other dudes in my appartment again screaming over everything, that just adds to it all.
2004 was about finally doing it, and it felt great, 2007 was about proving 2004 wasn't some fluke, this year it's about proving we have what it takes to repeat. If we win the World Series this year, I won't be so invested as this year, I just want to see them show that we're not some team that gets lucky once in a while.
