Incredible Baseball Post Season and Links

I thought about making another mention of politics and debates and all that, but you’re probably getting your fill from all of the local TV and radio ads.

Instead, let’s talk about something positive: baseball and the playoffs.

We’re just getting through the first real round of the playoffs and there have already been several amazing comebacks.  Games that were completely lost (like the Cardinals at the Nationals Friday night) are rescued from the fire to eliminate the other team.  Home runs robbed by leaping outfielders.  Multi-million dollar contract players benched for essential nobodies in the biggest media market there is.

It’s been a fun run and you can bet the commissioner’s office is applauding all of the enhanced interest in their sport.
