sporty spice

the friday night game is houston/st louis? seriously? i know houston has a theoretical chance of going to the postseason, but the phillies & marlins both have better chances. (at least according to me. statistics is one of the few undergrad courses i've never taken, so there's that.) and yeah, i know the former is a real rivalry, and the latter is just two teams who happen to be in the same division. whatever. naturally, tomorrow's phillies game is being broadcast, because tomorrow i have things to do & places to be. ah well. just reinforces my hunch that this may be the first year i attempt to check "attend a postseason baseball game" off of my list. i've been poking around about how to buy postseason tickets, and it looks like the apartment we just sold may very well close on time, which would allow me to afford it. (justifying the $ is another story, but that's not something i've ever had trouble with.) (and yeah, i probably just jinxed the on-time closing by writing that.) not sure why this didn't occur to me before, but the start of spring training nicely coincides with my already-planned trip to florida for bike week. hmmm...
