Easily imaginable scenario: The Cubs finish 1 or 2 games behind the Cardinals, and miss the playoffs completely. DeRosa continues doing what he's doing for St. Louis, and we continue to miss him.
It will most certainly be remembered. Is the Alex Gonzalez error remembered? Is the Neifi contact remembered? Cringe-worthy things tend to linger, in a bad way.

There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
