    It was the worst of all possible outcomes. Simple one game playoffs NYY@BOS and STL@LAD.

    '93 Giants won 103 and missed the postseason because the Braves won 104

    They probably get jazzed thinking about the narrative and channel the energy appropriately.

    There are no teams I hate more right now than the Dodgers and Yankees. I hope they both get their asses waxed on Tuesday.

    Nothing quite beats the feeling of loading up some bootleg .ru streaming site at work/school and getting everyone to gather around for a 1 PM playoff game when you should be working.

    I can think of a whole lot of things that beat that feeling, some of them even involving baseball.
