And, there were thoughts of a Crosstown Chicago World Series for a moment, but, NO!!
And, after all, this is always going to be an asterisk season. The season of no fans, seven inning double headers and the designated hitter for the National League.
But who would have figured we'd ever have BOTH the Sox and Cubs participating in baseball playoffs the same year? WOW!!!
And, now, the two teams Liz and I pull for are gone from the playoffs and that would be the Chicago White Sox who lost to the Oakland A's 2 games to 1 and Cubs who went 0-2 against the Marlins.
But, at least that opens up a lot of free time for us as we now really don't care who wins what (except for the Yankees and I always pull against them). This means no have-to-go-to-a-bar games. If a game is on, maybe I'll watch it.
At one point I almost wasn't going to watch any games because of MLB backing BLM as much as they did, but it wasn't too bad.
I do hope the National League will keep the designated hitter if they ever get back to regular baseball. It is a lot more fun to see someone who is dangerous with a bat and not just going to pop it up in the infield or strike out. I don't have a problem with some pitchers batting like Carlos Zambrano who can hit, but most of the time it is just pathetic.
The White Sox did show a lot of promise.
Oh Well, Here's for Next Year. --RoadBall
