Post-season baseball is just so good, and the drama so much more heightened than the endless, regular season. Each pitch matters, the nuances of fielding and base-running becomes magnified.
On Saturday night, Detroit is cruising against the Yankees in New York. 4-0 in the ninth. Valverde pitching. First, Ichiro hits a two run shot. Then Raul Ibanez comes up with a man on, and sure enough blasts it in the seats. Tie game. Ibanez only hits home runs.
Extra innings. The Yankees give up two runs, and Derek Jeter goes down, breaking his ankle. The end of the Yankees
On Sunday, they look like they know they are done even though it is only game 2. ARod smiling because he made contact, instead of the usual strikeout. They're spent, long gone.
And Raul is on juice.
