"You see the game last night?"
"I did."
"Great win, huh?"
"Eh. I was sort of expecting them to lose."
"You sound disappointed."
"Well, it's like this: if you follow the sport as a drama--the whole narrative of the season has seemed to border on tragic. We start out strong, only to slowly start unraveling over the course of the rest of the season, and it seemed like the entire climax was building up to this moment where we'd get knocked out of the playoffs against our hated rivals. But it didn't happen like that."
"So?"
"In terms of story, it wasn't a very logical conclusion."
"...You don't really understand sports, do you?"
