Playoff game

Man, it just felt like we've been on an unstoppable course for tomorrow's game for a log time, doesn't it? Twins/White Sox play tomorrow at 630p in Chicago. Winner plays in Tampa on Thursday, the losers have five months to think about the game.
The best tourney in sports is certainly March Madness, in large part because it's a series of single elimination games. Baseball mostly avoids that under the theory that a longer series will benefit the best teams. The exception comes when two teams play 162 games and wind up with the same number of wins. Then they face off.
Every play becomes magnified. Each pitch becomes critical. Every error is unthinkable. That's what tomorrow's game will be.
In the immortal words of Marvin Gaye, let's get it on.
