This past week I watched some baseball, which has wrapped up the regular season and now only the best eight teams remain in the National League Division Series and the American League Division Series, fighting to get the chance to play for the conference series and clinch their spot in the upcoming world series. As expected the playoffs have been crazy, with some good games where the teams that are expected to win had come up short in the first few games. For example the Toronto Blue Jays who have arguably the best offense in baseball found themselves down 2-0 to the Texas Rangers and facing elimination before even going on the road and playing a game in Arlington, Texas. Additionally the Royals, the best team in the American League found themselves in a whole as well against the Houston Astros, who held a 2-1 series advantage before Kansas City came storming back from a 6-2 deficit and winning 9-6 to even the series. In the National League there have also been surprises with the New York Mets leading the Los Angeles Dodgers 2-1 in their series and the St. Louis Cardinals, the best team in the league trailing Chicago 2-1 also facing elimination. The Kansas City game was especially crazy as they were six outs away from being eliminated from the postseason before the frantic comeback began. It is crazy also how each city embraces the game so much that when there appeared to be a missed call in Kansas City's comeback, the Kansas City Police Department sent out a tweet that said that the missed call should be considered to be a crime. It is crazy to equate a call in sports to an actual crime and just shows how much each city has embraced its team, and now baseball seems to be more than just a game. In game two of the New York Mets Los Angeles Dodgers game, Chase Utley a Los Angeles Dodgers player slid hard into second base and took out Mets player Reuben Tejada, who ended up with a broken leg on the play and now everyone in New York who is a Mets fan hates Utley's guts with a passion all as a result of an unfortunate play. It almost seems like baseball in the postseason has become even more than just a game, and more like a battle played on a sports field.
