In praise of the post-season

first off…to all the faithful,  long-suffering ranger fans whom i count as friends:  your day has arrived!   congratulations!   breathe in the air of victory and feel the freedom of the absence of monkey on your backside.   enjoy your next three days.   the knots in your stomach…the panic in fingertips…the feelings of nausea…the pounding of your hearts…and the tightness in your sphincters.   it will begin all over again friday night.

and you will love every second of it!

and for the record,  cliff lee was not your MVP.   the mighty benji molina was!   hauling that robust body into second on his stolen base was the igniter of the fire that propelled the mighty molinas to victory.   don’t forget it!

here’s my post-season question of the week:   if all your money was on the line,  which pitcher do you have the most confidence in to bring home the bacon in an all or nothing game seven?
