Los Angeles 4, Houston 3 and Texas 8, Oakland 6 were two excruciatingly difficult games to watch and endure, relentlessly tense and intense.
The mathematically satisfying result of those two final scores: a two-game Rangers lead in the West.
So tired, and unremittingly uneasy, but I was glued.
Both games were the sports embodiment of “It ain’t over ’til it’s over,” I phrase we’ll hear a lot today as Yogi Berra is mourned.
Berra is best known, at least by the last couple generations, as one of the great American characters, but he was unquestionably one of the Great Game’s players, a three-time MVP and 10-time World Series champion.
