I am blue about the lack of postseason baseball in Chicago. There isn’t much today that isn’t all David Ross, all the time. The beat writers don’t file every day, and they tend to flock together. This is what it’s like when there are no playoffs, in case you forgot. Imagine if Joe Maddon had stuck around...
Just in case anyone cares, long baseball games are just fine by me. Let the players play the games and let the robot umpires call the balls and strikes. Part of the attraction of baseball for me is that there’s no time-clock.
