Anybody notice, or care, that six of the eight teams currently slated to make the playoffs would be different from 2009? The National League division leaders are all who we didn’t think they’d be, and Texas has been in cruise control of the AL West all season.
San Diego, Cincinnati and Atlanta have all shrugged off any August challenge with all the resiliency of a veteran championship club and done so much to the happiness of fans everywhere.
Still waiting for the year of the Pittsburgh Pirate, but I’ll take this for now.
