Wow! The Rangers pull off an epic choke job, really: up by 13 and lose 1st place on the last day of the regular season, then get eliminated at home to BALT in the one-game playoff!
But no one's talking about it, probably because of the Red Sox last year?
(The Chisox did a remarkable swan dive this year too. Anyone ever listen to Hawk Harrelson? I'm glad to see them not make it. Fire that asshole and I might soften. Getting rid of that trog Ozzie Guillen was a start.)
I was rooting for BALT in that game. I was rooting for the Cards in ATL, too. So far, so good.
But my favorite NL team, the Giants, just lost 9-0 and now have to win 3 straight in CIN or go out. Not good. The Giants fans stayed when it was 9-0, wanting the team to jus SCORE A RUN!
The Yankees exploded for 5 runs in the top of the 9th in the first game in BALT to break a 2-2 game open. I actually picked the Yankees, but want to be wrong.
I've noticed a lot of playoff-pressure errors in all the games. All magnified because every play means so much. Coco Crisp's dropped basket catch in DET: lawd!
I watched the Nationals @ Cards game today, rooting for the Cards, I don't know why...probably because I think of WASH as a "new team" (I know there's a long, long history), and new teams, no matter how good, shouldn't get to win it all. But they're good. I still see the Cards winning this series.
The A's are down 2-0 coming back to OAK. A part of me thinks a team with only $51 in payroll (and near where I live) should be a team I'd root for, but they have too much history with my beloved Angels; I despise the A's. Nothing personal against any of their players, coaches, or fans. I think the owner's a jackass, but then most owners of pro sports teams are mega-unsavory to me. (I'd like to see all of N.American pro sports - MLB, NHL, NBA, NFL - be more like the Green Bay Packers Model. Fat friggin' chance.
Even though the Angels are out, I got the Oct fever bad...and a lot of it is due to the advent of the DVR: where I can watch entire games in an hour.
