I boycotted my usual baseball playoff post last night, in favor of the Druid story.  I had to mount some sort of protest to Bud Selig’s latest bastardization of the game: the Twins/White Sox 1 game playoff. No offense to White Sox fans, but no way that game should have been played in Chicago. In fact it shouldn’t have been played at all. The Twins won the regular season series between the two. They should have been in. At the very least, they should have hosted the game.

It’s been a crazy baseball season. The Rays are in the playoffs and yet the earth didn’t spin off its axis. The Cubs are in the playoffs and Steve Bartman has been ordered by a federal judge to not come within 1000 yards of Wrigley Field. Joe Torre is back in the playoffs, but as the manager of the Dodgers. The Brewers fired their manager 2 weeks ago, and are still in the playoffs!

Anything could happen in October, but I’m still sticking by my mid-season prediction of a Brewers/Angels World Series. I know the Brewers lost today, but they seem to thrive on adversity. I love the playoffs, but I need them to end quickly. I have a baseball novel to finish!

Carry on, Citizens!
