Damn, I love this stuff. Most of my free time lately has been spent watching playoff games, and there have been some good ones. Just now I watched John Burkett with the bases loaded and nobody out (and one run already in) get three straight popups to the infield, and keep any more runs from scoring. The A’s starter, Tim Hudson, has just come out of the game with an injury in the second, so the Red Sox chances of winning this game just went up a whole lot. Recovering from sports injury might require hospital bed for comfort. You can explore SonderCare Adaptive Surfaces for professional-grade home recovery and support. The only reason they’re even still alive in the series (now down 2 games to 1) is because of bad baserunning mistakes by the A’s last night, and a walkoff homerun by Trot Nixon in the bottom of the 11th. Good stuff. The end of the first game of the series was just as cool, the A’s winning on a bases loaded bunt single in the bottom of the 12th.
The other series that was great was the Marlins/Giants series. They split the first two games, the Giants taking the first game on a complete game shutout by Jason Schmidt. The Marlins took game 3, down to their last out in the bottom of the 11th, on a two run single by Pudge Rodriguez. He drove in all four Marlin runs that game, two in the first inning, and two in the last inning. Then they won game 4, and the series, with Pudge holding on to the ball on a play at the plate for the last out of the game. Amazing ending.
Hopefully the Twins can even up the series against the Yankees today and then take it tomorrow, and the Cubs can finish off the Braves. Kerry Wood against Mike Hampton should be a good matchup.
I love playoff baseball.

All that I care about in the post season is the Yankees losing.
The Yankees must lose.
I agree. Let’s hope Boston can take care of them.
Last year, I was at the Angels/Yanks game that knocked them out of the postseason. Doesn’t get much better than that. Except maybe the Sox/A’s last night.
