Will Venable just struck out on three pitches
Thereby sending the Giants and the Braves to the playoffs, and proving once again that I was right and everybody else was wrong. Goodbye, Dads!
It’s weird, though; I’m a little spoiled after three straight years, but there won’t be a 163rd game played anywhere this season. Had the Dads beaten the Larges, there’d have been a three-way tie at 91-71, and that could have been interesting. Alas.
Tune in tomorrow for a deconstruction of the playoffs, and I’ll explain to you why we won’t be seeing the Yankees and the Phillies in the World Series again this year, determinists be damned. Then I’ll do a hardware round-up. Good times.
