October calling me

Welcome to October.

Technically, we are not there yet, but, effectively, it feels like we are. One last day of baseball to decide if Cleveland is better than Detroit, if Toronto is better than New York (I hope so) and if Cincinnati is better than the other New York.

I figure standings stay about where they are today, but that's the special thing about baseball: It can surprise you.

As a relatively young Dodgers fan, I’m debating between two things being the most important: the Astros are playing a meaningless game and then … well, that man is pitching.

It’s hard, because at this point you cannot be sure Clayton Kershaw will make the postseason roster. There is a lot I want to say, but until another, final post, I will leave it at this: Clayton Kershaw is the best pitcher I have seen in my lifetime. Enjoy today, because he might be the last great pitcher we ever see.
