Red Sox won the AL East for the first time since 1995, taking the lead in mid-April and holding it until the end. I like their chances in the post-season but, as history has shown, there are two different games of baseball. The first game is the long regular season. The marathon. The grind. 162 games with barely any time off. The travel. The exhaustion. This is the game that the Red Sox won this year with good starting pitching, a great bullpen, a pretty deep bench and not many injuries. The second game, however, is the postseason. A 5 (or 7) game series against one team. Quick. Unforgiving. No margin for error. The Red Sox were built for the regular season. Now, in the postseason, I would trade the good pitching at the bottom of their rotation to upgrade one of the good pitchers at the top of their order to great. If that makes sense. Of course, the irony is that to make it into the postseason you have to be built for the regular season. You get to the postseason and your strengths and weaknesses go all funny. What a great game. Anyway, it doesn't matter much. They are the team they are and I like their chances. I've been reading a lot of internet commentary about baseball recently, and it is infuriating. Here are a few tips for you, if you want to not annoy the hell out of me (which, I am sure, is your main objective). It is not 'rediculous'. Nothing is. Saying something is 'rediculous' makes you look ridiculous. When someone is having a hard time you might say they are "getting off track". You may even say they need to get back "on track". Under no circumstances (other than a few farfetched ones involving trains, roller coasters, or lojack) does someone need to get "untracked". Yes, I can imagine a good analogy where 'untracked' makes some sort of sense but it is still dumb dumb dumb. Do you want to be dumb dumb dumb? Similarly, if someone is very good, it is valid to say that they are 'dominant'. Someone who is 'dominant' is someone who 'dominates'. Adjective, verb. Saying "So-and-so was pitching great today! He was totally dominate!" makes you sound rediculous. Please make a note of it.
