The financial commitment from the Mets and Padres is kind of like promising your fan base Paris. You then can’t give them Poughkeepsie.
Giannis Antetokounmpo was wrong: Not every season that falls short of a championship is a failure, though some most certainly are.After Miami ousted Milwaukee in five games in the NBA playoffs, the Bucks starto a question of whether his team was a failure by saying, among other things, “There’s no failure in sports. There’s good days, bad days. Some days you’re successful, some days you’re not. Some days it’s your turn, some days it’s not your turn. And that’s what sports is about.
Because what the Mets and Padres have done — hyperinflating their star power and payroll the past two years — has changed the context for them. They have entered a territory annually reserved for the Yankees and Dodgers. Essentially, championship or bust. Or, at minimum, play for the championship or bust. Getting ousted early in the playoffs or — imagine — somehow not even making a larger-than-ever postseason field would mark a season as a failure.
But in the NBA, for instance, in which the singular superstars such as Antetokounmpo mean so much and the Bucks were as all-in as any team, then falling short is marked as failure. No one need be taken to the public square to be tarred, feathered or tweeted to submission. This season, though, was a Milwaukee failure because chances to win championships are so precious and finite, and squandering one so spectacularly in Antetokounmpo’s prime provides an obvious final mark for the season.
