I couldn't really care less about the playoffs now either ... Something's missing for me. I don't know what. I live in Chicago too. But I still don't care. I need the Yankees or Red Sox in the playoffs to get my attention these days that baseball is no longer played in Pittsburgh. The Cubs occasionally get me fired up.

I was watching that White Sox-Angels game the other day courtesy of TiVo. God bless that device. It lets you watch an NFL game in an hour and a baseball game in about an hour and a half. I saw that crazy call that ended up deciding Game 2 for the White Sox.

What a bunch of crap! Everyone messed up. Sadly, the third string catcher could have avoided the problem if he had just tagged the batter out. We should keep in mind that the White Sox may have eventually won the game anyway. Regardless, that was a rather incompetent call. The safest and most sensible route would have been to call the batter out. The umpire generated a totally ridiculous controversy. The White Sox manager wouldn't have even argued the call.
