Postseason love.

With the Dodgers and the Red Sox completely out of the shuffle this year, I thought I would find myself disinterested and straight on to football. To my very pleasant surprise, I have been delighted in watching postseason baseball. It's the year of the underdog. Anyone who loves sports (and is not a Yankees fan) has a soft spot somewhere for the underdog.

Detroit just defeated the Yankees in their ALDS series. The St. Louis Cardinals beat the Phillies. I am hoping for a Milwaukee Brewers win tomorrow. Texas....don't mess with Texas. I actually hate Texas. In its entirety.


As off base as this may sound, I hope for some off the wall World Series. Let's see the Detroit Tigers face the Milwaukee Brewers. Why? Because the likelihood of it ever happening again is slim to none. At least in my life time.

I am tired of watching the Yankees, Red Sox, Cubs and Phillies battle it out year after year after year in the post season. I get it. You have money for excellent payroll, a longstanding history of being in the top teams in the MLB, and fans that will riot in your streets when you lose. Or worse, go hang themselves from a tree in their backyard.

I love baseball, but it's just baseball. Your team can't always win. You can't always be good. Try being a Dodgers fan. It's heartbreak after heartbreak. You get used to it. Share the wealth, the wins, and the love. It's America's game, not New York's game.

So, here's to the underdog. All of them battling it out this post season. I'm still watching.

Rex Ryan Rules.

New York Jets coach Rex Ryan and his winning team dedicated their playoff triumph against the Cincinnati Bengals to owner Woody Johnson in remembrance of his late daughter, heiress Casey Johnson.

The players gave Casey a moment of silence before the game, and all players wore juvenile diabetes awareness bracelets in her honor.

When asked if if all the love made him feel any better, Johnson replied, "no, it doesn't help."

It's the thought that counts, right?

ANDDDD...we're back!

I apologize for the long lull in keeping you in stitches. I was put on administrative leave. Or something like that.

More importantly, we're back on, and better than ever.

MLB playoffs are less than fifty games away, and our Dodgers are looking mighty fine in the NL West!

We couldn't be more thrilled to participate in such a season!

So, without further adieu, on with the show....
