jedi_of_urthAlso baseball playoffs start tonight. I haven’t talked about baseball much this season because my boys (see icon) kind of sucked (well, the pitching mostly sucked, the offense and defense had some real gems), but I always feel like talking about the postseason even though there’s probably even less interest in baseball talk than other things I post about.
So my predictions and hopes for the wildcard games:
AL: Houston Astros v. New York Yankees
I don’t know enough AL to know what to predict but I’m rooting for Houston on the dual principle of long time underdogs and rooting against the Yankees. I wonder what they’re head to head record was this year, I’m sure announcers will tell me.
NL: Chicago Cubs v Pittsburg Pirates
These two seem fairly evenly matched, but like a lot of people I have to root for the Cubs but accept that it shouldn’t be too surprising if they fall off the postseason track at some point possibly soon. Again I don’t know what to expect except it will probably be a good game.
I’ll check back in in a couple days for how this round went and talk about the division series...
