The only good thing about October

So I fell asleep. As I thought I might. I'm a bit tired.

Darby's in a softball slump. She struck out again today for the third straight game, meanwhile the coach's daughter got her first hit (which is a good thing). Come to think of it, I think almost everyone but Darby hit today. Not sure what's up with that.


Anyway, tomorrow begins baseball's second season. The first round of the playoffs. The match-ups look exciting. I hope the Astros continue their romp and stomp the Phillie-killers, I mean Braves (hey, they've got the Rocket). St. Louis will likely stomp the Dodgers if they don't buckle to October pressure, sorry Na Na (I know you loved Dodger blue). As much as I'd like to see the Twins prosper, I can't imagine them putting the hurt on the Yankees in a divisional series. And I'm conflicted about the Boston-Anaheim matchup. I'd like to see Boston get far, if not all the way (AND Schilling is pitching tomorrow), but the Angels were my first favorite team as a kid when I lived in California and Reggie Jackson was with them, so in the back of my mind I'm always cheering for them. I thought it was great when they won the series a couple years back. And who can resist the rally monkey?



(my birthday is specifically NOT on the list of good things about October)
