Baseball Playoffs

We're in mid week of the Divisional Series, and we have discovered a couple of things already. One, the Stones are still red hot, like magma out of a volcano, having downed the Quakers twice to go up 2-0. Likewise, the Snakes have bit the Little Bears, who also face elimination now.

Over in the AL, both the Oysters and the Angry Native Americans are up 1-0 over the Halos and Yanks. Kelvim Escobar goes for the Halos against Dice K tonight, while Andy Pettitte draws a matchup against 19 game winner Fausto Carmona. Yanks had won all six of the regular season meetings with the Tribe, only to get blasted yesterday. Figures.

On Saturday, the Snake's Livan Hernandez goes up against Rich Hill in Chicago while the Quakers ageless wonder Jamie Moyer faces up with the Stone's Ubaldo Jimenez, and I will actually be attending this one in person, thanks to an old friend with an extra ticket and enough time in the schedule to drive to Denver before Saturday's evening start time.

However, my joy at actually attending a premier sporting event where tickets are going for up to a grand a piece is tempered by the angst of being unable to see the Husker-Mizzou game being played at the same time. I do understand our gracious host will be TiVoing the Husker game, so the real angst is that I'm not sure I want football score updates during the baseball contest or not. !?
