Baseball: 9 = 4.

By Joe Katzman on October 7, 2008 5:01 AM

The amazing, relentless Tampa Bay Rays, versus the Red Empire of Boston, for the American League title. As it should be. 9 = 8 (9 major league players, playing hard with no letup for 9 innings every game, will be one of the 8 playoff teams) has now become 9 = 4. Unless Boston is really on its game, 9 will equal 2.

The come from behind again Phillies (putting an end-of-season stake through the Mets' heart once again) face the Manny-turbocharged LA Dodgers for the National League crown. That wasn't how it was supposed to be; the Cubs' 0-3 departure has left a very bitter taste in Chicago. But that's the way it is, and this is going to be a tough battle for both teams.

I do not envy the team that must face the American League winner.
