Playoff Observations

1. Robin Yount still has unreal facial hair.

2. Wrigley Field got a new scoreboard. It looks like its HD too.

3. CC is human.

4. Frank TV somehow, someway, still has not been canceled. I have no idea how.

5. Dick Vitale is not cryogenically frozen from April to October and may be the only person to own Devil Rays season tickets since they came into existence.

6. People still think Steve Bartman sucks.

7. Terry Francona may or may not have a tobacco addiction.

8. Shane Victorino may have surpassed Benny Agbayani and Sid Fernandez as the greatest baseball player to hail from Hawaii.

9. The Brewers actually have three guys, CC Sabathia, Prince Fielder, and Seth McClung who could compete to be on the fattest team in baseball.

10. I think if a turtle could speak it would sound like Tony Gwynn

11. Kosuke Fukudome has the worst swing I have ever seen. I have no idea how he was an all star starter other than different funny ways you can butcher his name.

12. Michael Phelps, the so-called Greatest Olympian Ever is doing ads for Rosetta Stone language tapes now. Clearly hearing him speak it is obvious Phelps is not a scholar and not spending his spare time studying languages. This really proves no one cares about swimming outside of that one week every four years.

13. The Cubs will never ever win

14. The secret to winning playoff series might be Japanese second baseman, Kaz Matsui last year, Akinori Iwamura this year

15. The Rays have a quality assurance coach, that sounds like something an insurance company would have

16. The Rays also have a guy that you might remember from Street Fighter
