MLB Playoffs
Posted by: Bradley McDonald
Hello, folks. Thanks for joining me today. We’re going to talk sports here, have a little fun, and try to look at things from a Christian’s perspective. Let’s get right into it.
How about the MLB playoffs this year? Even if you’re just a casual fan, you’ve got to be enjoying this postseason. After each winning three games in a row, Houston and Boston have turned lopsided series into one of the most exciting postseasons ever. Every game has me on the edge of my seat (or pacing around nervously - I’m an Astros fan), expecting something incredible to happen and I haven’t been disappointed.
As I watch the games, it’s interesting to observe the fans and try to figure out what they’re thinking.
Houston – “Boy, these playoff things are fun! I sure hope we keep winning. That new guy in center field is pretty good, but I wonder why Nolan Ryan isn’t pitching. He’s what? Oh. Yeah – I meant that Clemens guy. Of course.”
St. Louis – “Why are we still playing around with the Astros? I know they’re hot, but we’ve got a team batting average of .278 and a team ERA of 3.75 and ALBERT PUJOLS. We HAVE to play in the World Series.”
New York – “I’m not worried about Boston. Look at all those championship banners. We are THE YANKEES. They’ll end up choking sometime. We’re going to Game 7? Oh, well, even if we lose, I’ve got better things to do.”
Boston – “OH, MAN, WE NEED THIS!!! Maybe if I sacrifice my wife and firstborn, the curse will be over. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, WIN!!”
