For the umpteenth time the Braves and Yankees are going to the playoffs. Looks like the Mariners or A's will go, too - but that one is very close. I do like Frank Thomas and the surprising year they've had, but they doesn't stir my blood at all. St. Louis and San Francisco both made it, and I pray one of these saintly cities beats out Atlanta. I won't mention the Mets.
Hockey is played on ice and soccer, well, is just soccer.
That leaves me with only one love, one true sport. A sport in which teams have to come together to prevail and together must face defeat. A ballet on grass, football is the one, true fine art in today's society. Pardon me, but I need a tissue. I can hear the skeptics now - they all beat their wives, they're criminals.
