Has anyone informed you that the season ENDS on October 1 (give or
take a day).  Did you mean September 1?  Personally, I would like
to see a Cubs-Braves playoff, but the Braves had better shape up.

Realistically, I believe it will be a Padres-Phillies playoff with
the Padres winning and beating ___________(pick your team) in the
World Serious.

See you next time,
