But now that things have settled down and autumn is here, my attention turns to you, dear Red Sox. Very excited for this postseason. Went to a game last weekend in Baltimore … heading to Fenway next weekend. And hopefully to an ALDS game (*if necessary). Should be good times – no matter the outcome.

I even watched what appeared to be the equivalent of a Red Sox cover band lose to Toronto 12-0 last night.

I must say – I still like this team in the postseason. I like the makeup of the roster … and I like that it’s not ours to win. This postseason – it’s the Yankees’ to lose. If they win, it will simply be what should happen. If they don’t – glorious failure. Looking forward to it.
