The Yankees got closer to the next round by going up 2-1 today. Meanwhile, the Marlins advanced to the NL championship series, dispatching the Giants - something I didn't really expect to see. That leaves the Cubs/Braves series. As I write this, the Braves are up 4-1 - so maybe they'll stay alive. While not as frsutrating as the Red Sox saga, the Braves have been a spectacle this last decade as well - 9 straight division wins, and only one World Series victory to show for it. To get a feel for what the Red Sox fans go through, read this in the Times, and this in the Boston Globe. 85 years of waiting - there are only a few people even alive who have living memory of the last Red Sox World Series victory.
The worst part is, it just dawned on me that I'll be in Japan through the whole series - and the games will start at 9 AM Tokyo time. So much for watching any of the games live this year....
