Last month I abandoned my plan of watching the 2018 World Series Champion Red Sox season all over again and jumped ahead three months for fear that MLB was going to actually have a 2020 season.
Because I jumped ahead and started skipping off days, I finished watching the season 3 months and a week early. Today’s game watched was number 162 in which we beat our hated rivals the MFY, 10 to 2, to finish out the season with 108 wins against 54 losses.
There’s a saying in baseball – every team knows they’re going to win 54 games and lose 54 games. It’s what they do with the other 54 games that counts. What the 2018 FRS did was to actually win all those other 54…
The first Red Sox playoff game happened 5 days after the season ended while they waited the results of the one game Wild Card Playoff between those dreaded Yankees and the Oakland A’s. I seem to remember that it does end up being the Yankees they play in the Division Series, I’m not sure if it is Cleveland or Houston in the ACLS, but I do know that they beat the LA Dodgers in the World Series, I’m just not sure how many games each series goes. This should be exciting.
I also know that we won’t be waiting 5 days to start watching the playoffs. The American League Division Series starts tomorrow.
