2009 PLAYOFFS [INTERLUDE]

Cheers fading, or tears drying, the only thing to ponder until tomorrow is why the two series
aren't 4-0, 4-0 instead of 3-1, 3-1.

My parents are in town, and while watching a player in the on deck circle with a big white weight on the barrel of his bat (that looked to be made of a sort of dense marshmallow) my Mom observed that, unlike a corked bat (cheating that's not readily visible), this guy was going to step into the batter's box and use the tubular object as a bunting aid. Even 101mph heat would thud dully, and send the ball a few paltry feet back toward the pitcher, moving along any baserunner with a decent lead. Can't you just see the manager of the fielding team rushing out to argue? The Ump might reply:

"Well, it's not like the batter was hiding his marshmallow thing..."
