Holding Off on That MLB Package

October 12th, 2016 · No Comments · Baseball, Dodgers

The Dodgers’ victory in Game 4 was semi-clutch. Can’t really call it a clutch performance, because they blew that three-run lead in the seventh inning.

(They won on a hit batter, a pinch single and Chase Utley’s ground ball that was a foot out of reach for the second baseman.)

And semi-clutch is not enough to get me to commit to the $25 MLB package so I can see Game 5 — from the south of France.

Why?

1) I do not believe it likely that Rich “Mister Blister” Hill, throwing on three days’ rest, and a relay team of relievers will keep the Washington Nationals under wraps.

2) Because the game will begin at 2:08 a.m. where I live and I just will not be staying up that late or getting up that early to watch.

Let’s see what they do in Game 5.

It strikes me as a sort of “bum fight” — two franchises with a lot of recent history of not performing in the postseason.

Someone has to win, and the Nationals may be as apt to choke as the Dodgers … but I am not yet prepared to stay up all night to watch it live.
