I have a not so secret confession to make: I didn’t watch much of yesterday’s game.
As some of you may already know from reading my work on this site, as a long-distance fan living about 3500 miles and 4 time zones away, I’ve watched all of or the majority of every Dodgers game since May 2014 – at friend’s cottages on my phone, from the comfort of my couch, at traffic stops while driving home from work, wherever and however it was physically possible…but tonight, I just had to turn it off. This doesn’t mean that I’m giving up on the team – I’ve long since accepted I’m in this for the long haul – but as each year passes, the postseason affects me more and more, and sometimes…well I just don’t want to watch the insanity unfold…so I just didn’t.
