I can't believe it's time for the baseball playoffs already. If you missed it yesterday, Detroit and Minnesota played an awesome one-game playoff that resulted in a 12-inning win for the Twins, who made one of the great comebacks in MLB history. And Joe Mauer is the MVP for sure. Soon to be the named the greatest catcher of all time.

The teams are:

The Rockies at the Phillies

The Twins at the Yankees

The Cardinals at the Dodgers

The Red Sox at the Angels.

This is a very wide open field. You know who I'm rooting for, now who's going to win the first round?

This studio cut from the new album is less aurally interesting and three-dimensional than the live version I heard on the radio machine, but the available YouTube live versions all seem to have have that jittery-cinéma-vérité-shot-with-the-microphone-in-a-coffee-can thing going on.
