A few notes from the first day of playoffs...
Certainly a 10PM start on the East Coast is a bad thing, but a 10AM start on the West Coast on a weekday isn't great either. Perhaps there aren't too many Minnesota fans out in the Pacific Time Zone, but there are Yankee fans everywhere.
I know you don't want Barry to beat you, but two-out bases-empty walks are going a little too far. I did get a kick out of the old man swiping second though. I was sure that career #500 was going to be his final steal, but maybe he's bringing a whole new game to the playoffs. ;)
It kind of makes me laugh that the Cubs kind of have a home-field thing going in Atlanta. Tom Renbarger and I flew out to Atlanta from Chicago a few years back to watch the Astros go down in flames. I remember thinking that Braves fans were very spoiled - 10,000 empty seats at playoff games was one thing, but at one point they booed Maddux. Yeah Greg, go the Hell, you just aren't measuring up to our standards.
