The Postseason

I must say, that having no Braves to root for this postseason I've found
myself watching more of the other teams' games than I normally do. I think
in past years I've found myself disgusted and miffed enough by the Braves'
annual collapse that I've had no enthusiasm to watch the other teams. This
year I'm finding myself watching almost all of the games.

Seconded. I didn't expect I'd watch any October games, but I've seen
quite a bit and have enjoyed it. Glavine's win and the Tigers handling
the Yankees definitely qualify as highlights.

It must be those Lasorda commercials.

-- and do they broadcast these commercials anywhere except during the
games that they're encouraging you to watch?

I'm not, but I think that's more a function of scheduling more than
anything else. Mostly, now that I'm not in school anymore, I don't
really have the time to sit and watch an entire game. Whereas the last
three years, it's actually been kinda nice the Braves got bounced in the
first round since it's allowed me to get back to work. My marks
probably would have suffered had the Braves advanced cause the
post-season does take priority after all...

I'm pretty sure I saw a couple of those ads during other programming,
though I do avoid commercials as much as I can even without the helpful
space-age technology.

Of course, the question now is, will Lasorda take his own advice?
