Michael Holloway's Baseball Blogs

Writing around the idea that baseball is a game slightly ahead of its time. A 'simple' game the qualities of which include physical and metaphysical paradoxes: the two dimensional diamond with-in the sphere; the struggle between individuals with-in a complex group dynamic.
Baseball is like a school of the Socratic method: it asks questions - the consideration of which lead to more questions - a process that illuminates a path towards critical thought.

Congratulations you bunch of f*king depressing bandwagon jumpers.

Only Detroit can upset Toronto's post season desires.

If Toronto loses tomorrow, and Baltimore wins - and Detroit wins - Detroit will play a postponed game against the Cleveland Indians to decide who is the 2nd Wild Card in the AL.

The Indians are playing great - the Detroits are backing into a playoff spot like the Jays.

The Jays are in.

But to win, you are obviously playing to win this last game against Boston - because the Jays will play the Bostons to get to the World Series.

Congratulations you bunch of fucking depressing bandwagon jumpers.
