An odd sense of relief

I gotta say, in some ways it's easier to watch the baseball playoffs when you don't have a dog in the hunt. If the Dodgers were in I'd have been riding the escalator between exultation and despair for the past week. As it is, I'd prefer the Giants and Yankees lose due to my ancient hatred of those two teams for past perfidies they've committed against both the Brooklyn and LA incarnations of the Dodgers. But I really don't care if the Phillies (who looked awesome: did you see that Cincinnati only got 11 hits against them in three games?), the Rangers or the Rays win; certainly not enough to live and die with each inning.

We live near Philadelphia, and these playoffs are very important to the baseball fans around here.
