I hate the playoffs

I hate the baseball playoffs. Hate them, hate them, hate them.

My DH is a diehard Yankee hater. If he ever had to choose between his team (the Baltimore Orioles) winning, or the Yankees losing, he would probably choose the latter. He is also a diehard baseball fan. Playoff season, every year that we've been married, is excruciating. When the Yankees are in the playoffs (as they have been every year for the last eight years) he watches, and fumes and gripes when they win. Only when the Yankees are out is baseball any fun at our house.

Minnesota couldn't put them away this year, and now it looks like Boston's not going to do it either. Which means we're going to be watching yet another World Series with the Yankees, rooting for whoever is the National League champ, stressed out and anxious until it's all over.

It doesn't help that I grew up in a household where everybody lived and died through the fall based on how the Buckeyes were doing. And now, the Bucks have lost three in a row.

I can't wait for November.

Have I mentioned how much I dislike the playoffs? Boston is down 3 games to 1, they blew a 2-1 lead, it's the bottom of the 8th, runner on, nobody out, and they are down 4-3.

I just can't wait until this is over...
