Did the baseball season just end? It’s not that I lost interest, but the last few weeks wiped out the chances of one of the teams I follow (Red Sox) and did nothing to erode the extraordinary lead held by my other favorite (Tigers). It was combination of not wanting to look and not having to.
And it’s still that way in the post-season. The Red Sox are completely out of it—not struggling, not weakened, not braced for a comeback, simply not there at all. And Tigers vs. Yankees? I’m scared to look. Crossing my fingers and looking the other way.
