Revenge

I'm torn.

Under normal circumstances the last thing I would root for is an act that would help either the Cubs or Cardinals make the playoffs.

But considering what happened last year in Milwaukee at the end of the regular season, I think it's time to seek a little revenge on the Brew Crew.

Yet according to the chart above, simple "revenge" will only provoke the Brewers into "retaliation" which, in turn, will start a vicious cycle of exchanged humiliations and retaliations. However, if the Drinos come up with some sort of "constructive revenge," then everything will be "OK."

That raises the question: what exactly is "constructive revenge"? Apparently it means that, rather than going directly after the person (or team) that caused your humiliation, you instead decide to better yourself to demonstrate your stature is superior to your adversary's.

Sounds bold, progressive and mature.

...

F "constructive revenge."

Let's squash the Crew tonight!
